The Brazilian fitness model, athlete, journalist, and entrepreneur, Alice Matos, prioritizes her health and wellness. “We are what we repeatedly do.” In other words, the shape of our dreams is built daily, each choice we make brings us closer or further away from our goals 🎯this dump is with my partner@rruizmmain this gym with high-performance equipment and impeccable design@lescinqgym,” she said on Instagram (translated to english). Here’s what she focuses on to maintain a good fitness routine.


1. She stays consistent

She stays consistent to work towards her health and wellness goals. “We are what we repeatedly do.” In other words, the shape of our dreams is built daily, each choice we make brings us closer or further away from our goals,” she said on Instagram (translated to english). According to the Mayo Clinic, “any amount of activity is better than none. To gain the benefits of exercise, just get more active throughout your day. For example, take the stairs instead of the elevator or rev up your household chores. Consistency is key.”

2. She stays focused

Starting can be the most difficult part, so it’s important to just begin the journey. “The first step is to start, until you get the taste and focus comes along #strongmindstrongbody #alicematos #shape #fitness #lifestyle,” she said on Instagram (translated to english).

3. She pushes through the highs and lows

She rides the wave, and all the ups and downs that come along with the fitness journey. “And along the way there were many ups and downs. But intense or moderate training, a diet that kicks the bucket and seeks the bucket and regular sleep are the best anti-aging there is ⏳ the thing is to stay constant #strongmindstrongbody #alicematos #shape #fitness #lifestyle,” she said on Instagram (translated to english)

4. She’s passionate about fitness

She works hard on her mental and physical strength. “Life isn’t about being perfect, it’s about being so ridiculously passionate that people think [you're] a little crazy,” she said on Instagram (translated to english). Passion for fitness can stem from how incredible you feel when you workout regularly. “People who exercise regularly tend to do so because it gives them an enormous sense of well-being. They feel more energetic throughout the day, sleep better at night, have sharper memories, and feel more relaxed and positive about themselves and their lives. And it’s also a powerful medicine for many common mental health challenges,” according to helpguide.org.

5. She prioritizes self improvement

She focuses on self improvement and making the right choices. “If you don't know what to look for in life right now. Stop self-sabotaging. Start the change today. Look for yourself. Look for becoming the healthiest, happiest, most healed, most present, most confident version of yourself. Then the right path will reveal itself,” she said on Instagram (translated to english).
