1. She Knows It’s “Crunch Time”

Alessandra Ambrosio knows her way around a gym, doing crunches, working with resistance bands and weights and using kettlebells. "Crunch time... 🍏‼️💪," she wrote, captioning one workout. Here’s a superset with a crunch you can do, from trainer Mark Langowski:

1. High Plank with Opposite Arm/Leg Extension and Crunch

Get into a pushup position with your arms extended. Lift your left foot off the ground and, at the same time, lift your right hand and extend your right arm out in front of you. Now bend your left knee and your right elbow and bring them both underneath you, and try to touch them together. Place your left foot and right hand back on the floor, and repeat the move with your right foot and left hand. Continue to alternate for one minute.

2. Flutter Kicks and Criss Crosses

Lie on your back and place your hands under your hips for support. Straighten your legs and lift both feet a few inches off the floor. Now flutter your feet up and down, in opposition to one another for 30 seconds. Without stopping, change direction, criss-crossing your feet sideways over and under one another for another 30 seconds.

2. She Eats Clean

“It is very important for me to eat ‘clean,’” she has said. “This principle has its roots in my Brazilian childhood. I try to eat everything that is fresh and seasonal, to keep the balance of food groups in the diet. I also instill this approach in children: even if they eat a bunch of sweets, I make sure that their diet remains balanced. I can also easily allow myself something like that - a cupcake, ice cream or fries, for example. It's only better to keep yourself in control and, if possible, try to balance such a set with healthier and more nutritious foods.”

3. She Says “Be the Best You Can Be”

“Every woman has a different metabolism and different genetics, so rather than compete with one another, concentrate on yourself and be the best you can be. Everyone has days when they don’t want to show anything. That’s what the good ol’ jeans and T-shirt are for. So many times, I haven’t felt ready for shoots. I’m like, why didn’t I work out more? It’s life.” she has said.

4. She Says “Live Like You’re On Vacation”

Can’t go to St. Barths? Pretend. “‘Forever on vacation’ is my motto,” she has said. “It’s just the way I take life. Nothing makes me feel that pissed off or out of control. Whatever I do, whether I;m modeling or doing my clothing line, ale by Allesandra, I just want to feel like it’s fun. If you’re doing something you don’t like, you’re wasting time. Life is short. There is so much to see and do and feel. We should enjoy every moment."

5. She Loves Those Kids

Of course Allesandra had a family vacation. "[My kids] always come first, so I try to spend as much time as possible with them," she told Glamour years ago. "Sometimes that means rearranging my schedule or bringing them on set." She added: "I love that I get to travel the world and discover so many different new places and cultures. Making time for everything can be challenging, but I enjoy what I do, so I make it happen."

Alessandra Ambrosio, the Brazilian model, is in a swimsuit, quoting author Grace Brisbane. “It’s the summer of our lives; we’ll contain it for a while. She holds the heat, the breeze of the summer in the circle of her hand.

“I've been doing a lot of Tracy Anderson now, and it's a lot of dancing, cardio and I love it. I'm obsessed with it. I have the best time because the music is really loud and you don't really feel like you're working out. You feel like you're dancing and learning on this cool dance move. So that's what I'm into now. I might just put a DVD in my room and do all the [moves], like look like a crazy woman. And right now just keep hydrated, eat healthy. Just try to be as healthy as we can and out that's that's it, you know?” she told E! once.

4. Hiking is Great For You

“Hiking helps increase the strength in the leg muscles, builds stability in the core muscles and enhances balance skills. The more technical the terrain is, along with an increase in climbing intensity, the more balance and core strength is required because more muscles are being recruited to manage the steeper terrain. As you climb, the larger muscles in your legs are activated (such as the quadriceps, glutes, hamstrings and calves), and on the descent, your glutes and quadriceps are working hard to prevent you from falling forward on the decline. Uneven terrain means many of the smaller stabilizer muscles are being worked, which increases stability and balance overall,” says ACE Fitness.

5. She Uses Hair Oil

Alessandra likes Marajó hair products. “It's from Brazil and has like a new miracle oil. And I just love it. I've been using and my hair feels like super shiny and healthy. When I met them, they wanted to come up with something that wasn't in the market that—they asked me like all these questions about Brazil and they went and found in the island of Marajó, which is this island in the Amazon. They found this amazing oil. And they asked me to try it. And I've been trying for like a year now and I loved it. love this smell. I love the way it feels. And it works in everyone's like every women's hair, everyone's hair actually.”
