"I have a lifelong passion for fitness, and that passion makes me love, love, love the national parks," Sánchez said once. "There's nothing like working nature. In Puerto Rico, I grew up going to the national parks, playing, flying a kite. I can't imagine of any yoga studio that could be more peaceful than" a park. "I can guarantee you, there is a branch of the greatest gym in the world in your area. Find your park."

“People ask me, ‘What do you do?’ And I say, ‘I haven’t done anything,’ she told HOLA! USA. “I haven’t had surgery; all I can think of is that I’ve never had alcohol or smoked." She continued: “My mom is almost 80, and she’s been through cancer and all kinds of things, but her skin is amazing—so I don’t know if it’s a combination of things.”

5. She Says She’s “Tough!”

“Of course! I’m tough! Just imagine, I was the only girl, and the youngest sibling. I grew up with three brothers, the third one is five years older than me. Then there’s my father. I always say I was raised by five men because my mother also has the temperament of a man. This is what I know, what I’ve lived. There were two sides to my life. On the one hand, I was a big fan of boxing. We’d always watch boxing matches on the weekend at home. It’s my favorite sport. Before marrying Eric, I loved going to see live boxing matches. But on the other hand, I love ballet. I’ve been practicing it since I was very young. I loved boxing with my brothers, climbing trees and playing in the mud. But my feminine side was satisfied by being a lady with my hair done up in a ribbon and wearing a white tutu,” she told Hola.

6. She Flattens Her Tummy With This Trick

After having a baby, “I do have a little [belly]. I’m just hiding it with Spanx,” she told People. “I had to do it. I put my dress on and I’m going, ‘You know what, no. I need to use the Spanx!'” Weight gain is completely natural during pregnancy. However, if you are not pregnant, and overweight, too much fat around your belly can cause harm. Once that belly fat appears, it actually adds to our stress levels—and not just because we’re freaked about how we’ll look at the pool party. In studies, women with high levels of belly fat have been shown to have higher overall levels of cortisol, and an increased sensitivity to stress hormones in the hypothalamus, pituitary, and adrenal glands. In other words, stress creates cortisol, which stores belly fat, which creates more cortisol.

7. She is Grateful For Her Life But It's Not What She Expected

“I can’t complain. That would be ungrateful of me. I thought that it would be easier than it actually was. I’ve lived through so much happiness but also lots of tears. But it’s like anything in life, if I were to retire tomorrow and write a book about my life, it would be 90% gratitude. Gratitude towards God, life, my angels… because I’ve worked consistently for 25 years. However, if I were to close my eyes and think about how I believed my career was going to turn out when first I moved to New York, it would have definitely been” different, she told Hola!.
