Read on to see 5 ways Evelin Villegas stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!

Evelin is often posting from the beach, in the water. “It’s widely known that swimming is good exercise. Those who regularly swim, even after just a short period of time, can see improvements in:

  • How much blood is pumped out of the heart on a minute-to-minute basis.
  • How your body is able to use the oxygen you breathe from the air.
  • Lower heart rates.
  • Better blood pressure.
  • Improved breathing.
  • Improved circulation,” says the Cleveland Clinic.

2. She Gets Her Vitamin D

Evelin is often seen tanning. If you do so responsibly, 10 to 15 mins of sun per day can be good for you, as a little vitamin D is necessary. “Vitamin D (also referred to as ‘calciferol’) is a fat-soluble vitamin that is naturally present in a few foods, added to others, and available as a dietary supplement. It is also produced endogenously when ultraviolet (UV) rays from sunlight strike the skin and trigger vitamin D synthesis,” says the Mayo Clinic. “Vitamin D obtained from sun exposure, foods, and supplements is biologically inert and must undergo two hydroxylations in the body for activation.”

3. She Believes in Self Love

“I want you to go to a mirror, look at yourself, and find out what is the favorite part of your body. What makes you feel” proud “and makes you feel pretty. Mine, for example, are these dots on my chest,” she posted once, “If we feel pretty outside we feel pretty inside, if we feel pretty inside, we feel pretty outside.”

4. She Loves to Travel Around

“Perfect for stretching your limbs between flights, a growing number of airports are now carving out space for in-terminal yoga rooms. Some even offer virtual golf. If you have serious time to kill, it may be worth exploring options for a full gym workout. A few airports feature designated gyms and some airport hotels offer day passes for a small fee. Search online for ‘airport gyms’ to find current offerings,” says the Mayo Clinic.

5. She Deals With Anxiety and Depression

"Do you take medicine for anxiety or depression,” asked one fan during an Instagram Q+A. Evelin said she has "anxiety everyday” and that it was "constant" at that time. "I pull through and I'm happy of what I've been achieving." She also mentioned going to therapy. “During psychotherapy, you learn about your condition and your moods, feelings, thoughts and behaviors. Psychotherapy helps you learn how to take control of your life and respond to challenging situations with healthy coping skills,” says the Mayo Clinic.
