1. Highly Motivated
Kubicka says her job as a model and influencer makes it easy to be disciplined about her diet and exercise. “My job of course.. looking back at how far I have come, keeps me motivated even more,” she says. “I can’t wait to see what’s going to happen next, that’s why I always want to be the best version of myself.”
2. Different Workouts
Kubicka’s workout routine is intense and varied—she likes to keep things interesting. “[I do] 1 hour of Thai boxing & 1/2 hour High intensity training everyday except for Sunday,” she says. “Also I take spinning classes twice a week.”
3. Cardio Six Days a Week
Kubicka does cardio every day except for Sunday. “Try getting in a 30-minute workout five or more days a week that raises your heart rate for the duration of the activity,” says clinical exercise physiologist Erik Van Iterson, PhD, MS. “Or try three, 10-minute workouts, five or more days a week.”

Kubicka maintains a balanced diet, but never drinks soda. “The more regular soda cans per day we drink, the more likely we are to die from heart disease,” says integrative medicine physician Irina Todorov, MD. “As for the diet soda users, the risk was observed in heavy users only.”
5. Avocado Toast
Kubicka’s favorite healthy food is avocado toast on gluten-free bread. “Avocados are an excellent source of monounsaturated fat and vitamin E, and are a good source of folate,” says registered nutritionist Jo Lewin. “They also supply more soluble fiber than other fruit and contain a number of useful minerals including iron, copper and potassium.”
