She Swims
The main way Andreea stays in shape is via swimming. Even if you don't compete, recreational swimming is a good way to get regular aerobic physical activity, according to the CDC. Just two and a half hours per week of aerobic physical activity, such as swimming, bicycling, or running, can decrease the risk of chronic illnesses. In addition to the many physical benefits, there are multiple studies supporting the mental health benefits of swimming as well.
She Hits the Gym
Andreea also hits the gym to keep her body honed. "Messed around and got addicted," she captioned this post of herself at the gym. Physical activity is anything that gets your body moving. Each week adults need 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity and 2 days of muscle-strengthening activity, according to the current Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans.
She Does Yoga
Andreea also does yoga. "Let me turn your world upside down," she captioned a post, showing off her moves. There is a laundry list of reasons to do yoga, explains Harvard Health. "Researchers found that people who practiced yoga for at least 30 minutes once a week for at least four years, gained less weight during middle adulthood," they said. "People who were overweight actually lost weight. Overall, those who practiced yoga had lower body mass indexes (BMIs) compared with those who did not practice yoga. Researchers attributed this to mindfulness. Mindful eating can lead to a more positive relationship with food and eating."
She Believes In Herself
"It's very important to believe in yourself," Dragoi told San Jose State Spartans when asked what advice she would give a younger person. "Never give up on the challenges you face in life because all dreams can come true. I competed in two competitions, I qualified for the European Junior Championships and the World Championships and I did really well on my IB exams. It's all possible."
She Wakes Up Early
The early bird gets the worm, according to Andreea. She told San Jose State Spartans that her alarm goes off at 4 am every day so she can start training.
