Dobrev is also an avid surfer. Not only is the sport great for promoting cardiovascular fitness from paddling, it helps build shoulder and back strength and leg and core strength. Surfing can provide a variety of health benefits, both physical and mental. Some of the potential benefits of surfing include:

  1. Cardiovascular exercise: Surfing requires a good amount of physical effort, which can help to improve cardiovascular endurance and reduce the risk of heart disease.
  2. Strength training: Paddling a surfboard and maneuvering through waves requires strength and muscle control, which can help to build strength and improve muscle tone.
  3. Balance and coordination: Surfing requires a combination of balance and coordination to stay on the board and navigate through waves, which can help to improve overall body control and stability.

She Eats Small But Regular Meals

"I used to eat three full meals and then I would not be able to move after each meal. I would be so full and tired. Now, I eat all the time but portion control is what's important for me-I'm eating more in total but not more at a time," Nina dished to Shape about her diet. "Basically, I aim to have the size of my thumb in fat, the size of my palm in protein, and then unlimited veggies. I wish I'd learned this in school."
