Goicoechea swears by soy milk for a healthy start to the day. “[I have] a good breakfast to start the day with energy,” she says. “I don't have a fixed breakfast, or else one day I feel like milk with cereal and another day a good natural juice… I recently discovered Strawberry Tomato Watermelon Soup, and I absolutely loved it!”

2. Weights and Yoga

Goicoechea credits healthy lifestyle habits with her spectacular physique. “Training and with perseverance,” she says. “Luckily I have good genetics but you have to keep fit and for that you need discipline. I exercise four or five days a week, if my schedule allows it. Among the activities I do include weights, yoga or pole dancing.”

3. Pescatarian Diet

Goicoechea follows a pescatarian diet. “I do not give too much importance to diet, I am a good eater,” she says. “Simply, before a shoot I try not to bloat myself to see myself in top shape. But I'm not saying no to anything. Lately I am reducing the consumption of meat and I can say that I already consider myself 100% pescatarian.”

4. Summer Swimsuit Workouts

Goicoechea switches up her exercises depending on the type of work she is doing. “I try to keep my body active during the week at Club Bonasport. I do functional training and yoga classes to relax my mind, while cultivating my body,” she says. “Besides, I'm also doing pole dance classes: I'm learning recently, but I love it, it's fun and it keeps me in shape. Summer swimwear campaigns are a ‘must’ in my work, including those for my clothing brand, GOI. For all of them the body requires more specific training. With [trainer] Ana Luisa this year we have worked a lot on the buttocks and abs to be perfect all summer. I'm working on elasticity. I am flexible, but I would like to be more, so we are reinforcing this point. I'm making a lot of progress and I'm really happy with the results.”

5. Summer Beauty

Goicoechea keeps her beauty routine very simple, especially during the warmer months. "Very natural,” she says. “In summer, if I'm a brunette, I don't even use a foundation! Just mascara (from Maybelline), a little blush and, above all, a nude lip – it's my favorite. I try not to overload it with creams, and I love using toners . My favorites are those with rose water.”

Hernandez wants to be an inspiration for other Latina models. She talked about this in an interview with HOLA USA, after winning the SI Swim Search. “It’s an honor,” she said. “And for me, it’s huge because coming from Medellin and moving to the U.S., I didn’t really think that my life was going to take this direction. The fact that I’m following my dreams, and I get to be myself and represent Latinas is truly an honor.”

2. She Changed Her Diet and Exercise

Hernandez talked about how she prepped for the SI shoot to HOLA USA. “I knew that the day of the shoot I wanted to feel my best and feel confident,” she said. “A few weeks before, I did work out a lot. I would go to the gym once or twice a day every single day. I tried to cut out dairy, meat and tried to have mainly a plant-based diet. It was really hard for me just because I love food. I love pizza; I love carbs. It really did take a lot for me to restrain myself from eating meat and all the fried foods and all the good stuff. That’s probably the best shape I’ve been in in my life.”

3. She Prioritized Education

At the 2019 SI Swimsuit On Location event in Miami, Hernandez revealed to a reporter that she put school ahead of her modeling dreams. “It honestly feels like a crazy dream,” Hernandez said. “It’s insane to see that it’s becoming a reality and I’m living it. Honestly, I’m really glad that I went to school and got my degree and that now I have the chance to do modeling all the time. Now I’m in LA, so it’s honestly just been amazing.”

4. She Swims

Recreational swimming can provide you with a low-impact workout and it's a good way to relax and feel good.”

5. She Skis

Swimming isn’t the only outdoor workout Hernandez likes to do. She also enjoys going skiing. Hernandez shared this set of photos and videos of herself on the slopes of Big Bear Mountain. She captioned the post, “A fun day on the mountain.” SkiCanada.org states, “It’s well documented that skiing and snowboarding benefits cardiovascular health, overall fitness, strength, coordination, balance and more. Regardless of your health and fitness goals, strapping on a pair of skis or a snowboard is sure to fulfill some of them. Due to the versatility of skiing and snowboarding, it can encompass the benefits of a cardio workout, high-intensity interval training (HIIT) session, and strength training session, all in one fun activity.”

They told me that I had to train and then run 42K, and I replied that there was no way, that I couldn't and that my head could only support 10 kilometers. Suddenly, they gave me a plan, I started training full force and in the middle I got injured, although it helped me mentally prepare for the marathon.
