1. Squats Are Her Favorite Exercise

Andrade loves doing squats, calling it her favorite workout move. “Squats are beneficial for everyone,” says certified personal trainer Chris Gagliardi. “From elite athletes to older adults and women during the postpartum period. Squatting is considered a bend-and-lift movement which is one of the five primary movement patterns that we use throughout daily life. Consider that every time you stand from a sitting position, or squat down to pick an object up off the floor, you are doing a squat. Squats are something we do often, and it is important to have the appropriate muscular fitness and power to perform squats throughout your activities of daily living.”

2. She Loves Chickpeas

Andrade loves making dishes with chickpeas/garbanzo beans. “Chickpeas as a solo food are packed with nutrition,” says Amy Gorin, MS, RDN. “A cup of cooked chickpeas, for instance, contains 269 calories — and offers an excellent amount of protein (15 grams) and fiber (13 grams), helping to keep you fuller for longer and prevent that “hangry” feeling. They’re also loaded with vitamins and minerals, including iron, magnesium, potassium, zinc, folate and vitamin A.”

3. Boxing Workouts

Andrade loves boxing-based workouts, sharing videos of herself practicing on social media. "You're swinging your arms, moving the muscles of your arms and shoulders, increasing your upper-body strength,” says physical therapist Linda Arslanian. “And when you're in the boxer crouch with a wide stance, with your knees slightly bent, you're strengthening your core muscles, back, and legs.”

4. Ab Exercises

Ab exercises are a core part of Andrade’s workout routine. “Strong core muscles make it easier to do many activities,” says the Mayo Clinic. “When your core muscles are strong, it's easier to swing a golf club, get a glass from the top shelf and bend down to tie your shoes. Strong core muscles help athletes, such as runners. That's because weak core muscles can lead to more fatigue, less endurance and injuries. Weak core muscles can leave you more prone to poor posture, lower back pain and muscle injuries. Strengthening your core muscles may help back pain get better and lower the risk of falls.”

5. Homemade Body Scrub

Andrade makes her own body scrub from used coffee grinds. “The skin on the body has more sweat glands (sebaceous glands) and can tolerate stronger exfoliating cleansers and percentages of products without getting irritated or inflamed than the skin of the face,” says board-certified dermatologist Dr. Purvisha Patel.

Maya Nazor says she wanted to be famous ever since she was a little girl, and it shows with her confidence in front of the camera.

1. She Loves to Dance

One look at Nazor’s social media confirms her love of dance. “When you begin moving, you immediately release the brain chemicals dopamine, adrenaline, and endorphins, causing a powerful and lasting effect I call ‘energized optimism,’” says Kelly McGonigal, PhD, author of The Joy of Movement. “The adrenaline makes you feel powerful, the dopamine generates hope, and the endorphins bring you joy. You’ve created this amazing cocktail that boosts your mood and energy, leads you to experience better social interactions, makes you more likely to progress on your goals, and lowers stress. So dancing doesn’t just make you feel great in the moment. It sets you up to be a better version of yourself.”

2. She Travels Around the World

Nazor is passionate about visiting new places. “Foreign experiences increase both cognitive flexibility and depth and integrativeness of thought, the ability to make deep connections between disparate forms,” says Adam Galinsky, a professor at Columbia Business School. “The key, critical process is multicultural engagement, immersion, and adaptation. Someone who lives abroad and doesn’t engage with the local culture will likely get less of a creative boost than someone who travels abroad and really engages in the local environment.”

3. Self-Confidence

Nazor says she was born to be in front of the camera, and feels confident about being an influencer. “The truth is, I’ve always enjoyed speaking a lot in front of the camera and I can speak easily. As a kid, I pretended I had a TV channel and my own program. It’s a way of expressing myself,” she says.

4. Post Baby Body

Nazor welcomed son Luka last summer, and embraced her post-baby body. "Remind yourself of the miracle you just performed," says Chaye McIntosh, clinical director at ChoicePoint Health in Fairlawn, New Jersey. "Remind yourself that the baby you are now holding in your arms is worth the stretch marks and belly pouch. Remind yourself that you are beautiful just the way you are. And remember that your baby needs a strong, self-assured, and dedicated parent—not just one with a flat tummy."

5. She Loves the Pool

Nazor enjoys being in the water, both in the swimming pool and in the ocean. “Research has shown that being near, in, on or under water can provide a long list of benefits for our mind and body, including lowering stress and anxiety, increasing an overall sense of well-being and happiness, a lower heart and breathing rate, and safe, better workouts,” says marine biologist Wallace J. Nichols.

A day at the seaside can cause changes in your brain that make you feel happier, more relaxed, and full of energy.”

1. She Wants To Be A Role Model

Panday opened up about her life to IDiva.com. She says that she wants to be a role model for young girls out there. “I don’t ever want young women to look at me and feel any kind of pressure to look or dress like me. I want people to be able to walk up to me and talk to me. It shouldn’t be hard because I am young and I don’t have a filter. I say things that are embarrassing all the time. I tripped and fell yesterday. Even with brand shoots, I am trying to focus on young and fresh brands that resonate with my personality. I want young girls and women to feel like they connect with me and that they don’t have to aspire for unreal beauty or fashion standards.”

2. She’s Real

Panday wants to be open and real with people. Especially on social media. She tells IDiva.com, “I feel like no one posts their failures on Instagram, everyone only wants to post happy pictures and their successes. That and social-media bullying are my peeves.”

3. She Ignores Haters

Panday has had to deal with a lot of haters on social media. However, she tells IDiva.com that she doesn’t let them bother her. “I have realised that when people troll you, it is not something that’s on you, it is on them. You’ve not done anything wrong, something is wrong with them and they are taking it out on you. I am thick-skinned because of my dad. He has gone through a lot and he takes a joke well but people don’t realise that their words can hurt. Those words might not hurt me, but it is unfair that my parents have to read things about me. I feel it is easy to sit behind a computer screen and say things casually because you can’t say it to someone’s face. I don’t think bullying or trolling is okay in any way.”

4. She’s Grounded

Panday tells IDiva.com what her secrets for staying grounded are. “I am still treated the same way by my friends and family, and it helps ground me and detach from the way I am treated on sets or at conferences. It is important to go back to a normal life and talk about something other than films. At such a young age, it is easy to get carried away and be surrounded by yes men but I know my family and friends will always have my back.”

5. She’s Confident

Panday has a lot of confidence. She opened up about her journey with confidence to LifestyleAsia.com. “I know it sounds cliche, but I think that when you start working fresh out of school, as I did at 18 for the film, there are so many issues that a young girl, in general, has with herself,” she says. “We have our body issues, we have our own set of mental health issues, relationships and it could be anything. At that age, we’re constantly battling something or the other. Then at the same time, you’re starting in this big world and you’re putting yourself out there. So I was nervous back then. I didn’t know the ropes to call it. Even though my father’s an actor, I never grew up on a film set in that way. So I was still learning how to conduct myself. I was still learning the way things work, how to interact with people, and how to meet people for work then. I’m a little more confident in myself in general now because I’m easier on myself and I think that’s what it is.”
