1. She Does Barre

Irina sometimes does barre moves. “These lengthening exercises also help to stretch me out and help clear any water retention, which I tend to get after long-haul flights. Grabbing workout time whenever I can means constantly carrying my kit around with me, so I’ve totally embraced athleisure – if I can turn up to a shoot in the same chic clothes I can wear to exercise, it saves me so much time and effort!” she told Women’s Health.

2. She Has Said This About Food

Irina has said she can eat whatever she wants due to her metabolism—burgers, cake, etc. “But in the name of balance, I got up the next morning, did 30 minutes of barre in my room and ate steamed fish and grilled vegetables for dinner. I'm from Russia, so I've been brought up on hearty food like meat and dumplings and potato stews in big warming portions, but if I’m preparing for a shoot or show, I’ll eat particularly clean – salads and soups – to ensure a flat stomach,” she told Women’s Health.

3. She’s Done Some Jiu Jitsu

"I work out a lot. I do boxing, I do a little jiu jitsu which I am obsessed with," she told People. “Exercise also offers numerous health benefits, including boosting your mood, strengthening your cardiovascular system and reducing your blood pressure. Exercise can also help in maintaining weight loss. Studies show that people who maintain their weight loss over the long term get regular physical activity,” says the Mayo Clinic.

4. She Loves Home Cooking

“When I was growing up in Russia my grandmothers would cook the best pancakes in the world: the best meatballs, the best dumplings,” she has told People. “So I really, really love food. And I don’t understand how people don’t eat. I do eat everything.” She added: “Well, I have good genes [so] I thank my family. But I work out a lot. I do boxing, I do a little jiu jitsu which I am obsessed with. It is so much fun [and] I have the best trainer. You have to find the best workout for your body. You have to balance between eating and working out.”

5. Boxing Has Many Benefits

Boxing or any cardio is great for you. “Scientific data has consistently shown that aerobic or cardio style exercise improves not just the circulation within your heart, but the circulation throughout your entire cardiovascular system,” Cardiac rehabilitation expert Erik Van Iterson, PhD, MS tells the Cleveland Clinic. “That generally means the ability to circulate blood in an effective and efficient way and typically leads to reductions in cardiovascular risk.”

Irina Shayk, the supermodel and actress who appeared on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, not to mention runways for Miu Miu, Bottega Veneta, Marc Jacobs, and many more, knows how to stay fit. It’s part of the job. She showed off the proof with a photo on Instagram of her in a swimsuit, captioning it “MIA” for Miami. How does she stay so fit?

1. She Does Cardio

"I hate traditional cardio. Running is my worst nightmare," Irina told Yahoo, but she still does it: "Cardio's always good. It makes you sweat, it's the best.” “The Department of Health and Human Services also recommends getting 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity a week, or a combination of moderate and vigorous activity. Being active 30 minutes a day on most days of the week can help you meet the guidelines,” says the Mayo Clinic.

2. She Works Out in Her Hotel Room

“I’m in hotel rooms most of the time, and it can be hard to find a hotel with a nice gym,” Shayk told Vogue. “It was important for me to have a workout I could do in my room.” She added: “If you’re feeling jet lagged, or too lazy to get dressed, you can basically watch TV and do these moves.” One, says Vogue: “Grab a pillow for balance, and place your left leg straight behind you on the bed with your toe pointed. Bend your standing knee and lean your torso slightly forward. Then, lift up your left leg slowly and bring it out to the side, tapping it briefly back down on the bed before lifting it again and bringing it back straight behind you. Keep your arms tight, and engage the core, butt, hips, and thighs. Perform 15 to 20 reps, then switch sides.”

Shayk eats soups and salads before shoots. “Eating raw vegetables and fruits is a great way of incorporating more fiber into our diet, and this includes leafy greens. When you include fiber in your daily diet, you can help prevent obesity and type 2 Diabetes, as well as aid in healthy digestion,” says our sister site Eat This, Not That! "To increase your fiber intake when you reach for the salad, try adding some tomatoes, carrots, or cucumbers.”

4. She Loves the Beach

You can run on the beach or: “Nobody ever said lying on the beach was the only way to relax. When choosing a vacation destination, look into a spot where you can go hiking, zip lining or even country line dance the night away — whatever moves you,” says the Mayo Clinic. “When looking at hotel or vacation rentals, spend some time exploring online to see what's around. Consider whether there are sidewalks, bike lanes, mass transit options or amenities you'd enjoy within walking distance.”

5. She Helps Those Less Fortunate

Today and always we demand respect, equality, and never stop fighting for our rights. And let's also celebrate, embrace and congratulate each other for all that has been accomplished. And most importantly, that change always starts within ourselves - we are not alone, let's support each other, so without more, without prejudice, without criticizing, judging, without throwing each other down. Let's hold hands and rise up by lifting others. Because one woman can accomplish many things but TOGETHER we are invincible, and we can accomplish so much more. Thank you to each and every one of the women I've met along the way, for being a source of strength, inspiration and admiration! I celebrate you today and always.”

Irina Shayk is enjoying the sun, sea, sand (and pigs!) on vacation in a tropical location—and even onetime beau Bradley Cooper makes an appearance.

Read on to see 6 ways Shayk 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!

1. She Keeps a Healthy Balance

“I’ve got great genes to thank for my fast metabolism, but I still have to find a balance between food and working out because when I eat, I really eat!” Shayk tells Women’s Health. “Give me a burger and I’ll follow it up with a piece of cake. In fact, two days ago I had a huge burger with cheese, French fries, lots of ketchup and mayo and a large Sprite. But in the name of balance, I got up the next morning, did 30 minutes of barre in my room and ate steamed fish and grilled vegetables for dinner. I'm from Russia, so I've been brought up on hearty food like meat and dumplings and potato stews in big warming portions, but if I’m preparing for a shoot or show, I’ll eat particularly clean – salads and soups – to ensure a flat stomach. Then jump on a burger straight after!”

2. She Doesn’t Wear Makeup

“I wash my face twice a day, religiously,” Shayk says. “I like my skin to feel as clean as possible all the time – I don’t even use foundation because it actually makes my face feel dirty. To get away with wearing hardly any make-up, I make sure I always moisturize. Some people find a favorite product and stick with it for years but I swap between moisturizers every week so my skin doesn’t get too used to one formula and becomes immune to its benefits. But I always go back to Cetaphil, it’s like $6 from any pharmacy and makes my skin smooth and clear. I grew up poor, so spending lots of money on beauty products you can make at home doesn’t make sense to me.I mix honey, salt and sugar as a body scrub – it’s as good as anything you get in posh shops.”

3. She Loves Russian Food

“I’m a model, but I love to eat,” Shayk tells PEOPLE. “Sometimes when I’m on set I keep eating and people are like, ‘You really eat that?’ I’m like, ‘Yes, I do.’ When I was growing up in Russia my grandmothers would cook the best pancakes in the world: the best meatballs, the best dumplings. So I really, really love food. And I don’t understand how people don’t eat. I do eat everything.”

4. She Practices Jiu Jitsu

“Well, I have good genes [so] I thank my family,” Shayk says. “But I work out a lot. I do boxing, I do a little jiu jitsu which I am obsessed with. It is so much fun [and] I have the best trainer. You have to find the best workout for your body. You have to balance between eating and working out.”

5. She Loves To Dive

“I love the open water,” Shayk says. “I may not be able to drive a car, but I’m a trained Open Water Diver and it’s an unforgettable experience every single time. Every time I travel, I try to get to the sea and explore that part of the world underwater. They say divers have more life experience than those who don’t because it teaches you to appreciate the world we live in from a completely different perspective. When I’m trying to relax in New York, I connect to my heritage. There are three Russian TV channels that I can access from the US and I’m perfectly happy to watch them all day. Or head to the spa. To spend an entire day being pampered – fancy manicures, pedicures, massages, facials – it’s heaven. I’m a true Russian!”

6. She Has A Unique Hotel Workout

Shayk and personal trainer Justin Gelband put together a workout routine that can be done in any hotel room—no equipment required. “I’m in hotel rooms most of the time, and it can be hard to find a hotel with a nice gym,” Shayk says. “It was important for me to have a workout I could do in my room. If you’re feeling jet lagged, or too lazy to get dressed, you can basically watch TV and do these moves.”
