Ester Expósito in Bathing Suit Shares "the Best Thing That Has Happened to Me"

Spanish actress and model Ester Expósito is resting and relaxing on vacation in Mexico.  Expósito, 23, shared pictures of her getaway, including one of herself lying in a hammock in a string bathing suit. She also posted another of herself enjoying ice cream. "Elote ice cream is the best thing that ever happened to me," she captioned the post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Expósito stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

Expósito enjoys strawberries with yogurt for a healthy, protein-packed breakfast. "Yogurt helps maintain the billions of good bacteria you need for a healthy digestive and immune system," say the experts at Johns Hopkins Medicine. "Plus, the bacteria in yogurt help the body break down and absorb critical nutrients."

Expósito works out with personal trainer Miguel Lordán several times a week. "Every day we do different exercises so that the muscles don't get used to it, but we work on the entire lower body, legs and glutes; abdomen a lot and arms only from time to time," she says. "We change the routine, sometimes we work with weights, going up and down stairs, we do exercises with resistance bands, with TRX, abs, planks… I train three days a week, and I never miss it, since I started with Miguel I never skip my workouts."

Expósito enjoys protein—usually fish—for a healthy, light yet nutritious dinner. "Fish is filled with omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins such as D and B2 (riboflavin)," says the Washington State Department of Health. "Fish is rich in calcium and phosphorus and a great source of minerals, such as iron, zinc, iodine, magnesium, and potassium."

Expósito's approach to diet is to focus on the foods which make her feel strong and energized. "I don't follow a diet, but I do have some tips to eat foods that help me strengthen: tuna, red meat, rice, pasta," she says. "Bananas and avocado are very good. I make smoothies. I pay a lot of attention to my diet, but I don't have a plan, I know the things that are good for my muscles. I talked about it with Miguel, my coach, when we started working out and then I incorporated it into my meals."df44d9eab23ea271ddde7545ae2c09ec

Expósito is diligent about cleaning and moisturizing her face every day. "When I wake up I always wash my face, and if I'm going to wear makeup that day I hydrate it a lot," she says. "Every night I hydrate it too. I don't take much care of my hair, but I try to avoid applying heat on it if it's not necessary, and sometimes I apply hydrating masks to stay all night and wash it the next day."
