Eva Andressa is getting her sweat on in Brazil, showing off her incredible figure in workout gear. The Brazilian bodybuilder recently posted a clip on Instagram, showcasing her toned physique in a two-piece exercise set, captioning it, “WHATEVER IT IS, always take your YEAH BUDDY, the best pre-workout in Brazil.” From lifting weights to fasted cardio and even dancing, Eva's approach to fitness and self-care is both varied and effective. Here's everything you need to know about how she stays in top form.
1. Lift Weights
Eva recommends weightlifting to stay in shape, and so does the Mayo Clinic. They maintain that it helps reduce body fat, preserves and increases lean muscle mass, and burns calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you develop strong bones, manage your weight, enhance your quality of life, manage chronic conditions, and sharpen your thinking skills.
2. Take a Hike

Eva stays active outdoors. One of her go-to activities is hiking, which she did during a recent trip to Nicaragua. ”Incredible! 🙌🏻😱,” she captioned the post. According to the National Parks Service, the physical benefits of hiking include building stronger muscles and bones, improving your sense of balance, improving your heart health, and decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems.
3. Do Cardio Fasted
“I love starting my day with fasted cardio,” she said in a post. Fasted cardio means that she waits to eat until after her sweat session.
4. Stretch
She also stretches in the morning, she revealed in the same post. It “keeps the muscles flexible, strong, and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints,” says Harvard Health. “Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are weak and unable to extend all the way. That puts you at risk for joint pain, strains, and muscle damage.”
5. Go Out Dancing
Eva also understands the benefits of dancing. “Little dance with a special appearance at the end!” she wrote about one of her Instagram videos. Why should you get down? It can help build strength and promote flexibility, but helps you lose weight and even promotes cardiovascular function. A 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine determined that people who engaged in moderate-intensity dancing were 46 percent less likely to develop heart disease or die from it than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues.
