Zaira Nara is heating up social media in her workout clothes. In a new post the Argentine model flaunts her amazing body in a crop top and leggings while heading to the gym. Her followers went wild over the Instagram video. “Me gusta,” one of them commented. “Preciosa❤️,” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.
1. Meats, Veggies, Fruits, and Pasta
Zaira sticks to a healthy and clean diet. “I usually eat quite a variety. I prefer healthy options, although I don't impose restrictions on myself. My diet includes meats, vegetables, fruits and pasta,” she tells Bettina Frumboli. “I try to eat well and not skip any food. Also, now that I feel a little older, I have learned not to allow myself any taste.”
2. Cheat Meals
Zaira allows herself the occasional cheat meal. She told Bettina Frumboli, “there is never a shortage of chocolates or ice creams or, if friends come over, a cake or croissants,” she says. “I like to dedicate time to meals and take advantage of that moment to share with the family.”
3. Sleep

Zaira makes sure to get enough rest. “Sleep well. Resting seems fundamental to me,” she tells Bettina Frumboli. Why is sleep so important? The Sleep Foundation explains that it is a mood booster, promotes heart health, regulates blood sugar, improves mental function, restores your immune system, helps relieve stress, and aids in weight loss.
4. Functional Training
Zaira exercises “Twice a week I do functional training and gymnastics classes. This is how I stay in shape,” she reveals to Bettina Frumboli. Each week adults need 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity and 2 days of muscle-strengthening activity, according to the current Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans.
5. Walking
Zaira tries to get her steps in. “At one point, I wasn't very keen to train and I started to go for a walk. I swear it worked for me. Now, whenever I can and even during the week, I implement it. Always with music. It is a good method to disconnect,” she dishes to Bettina Frumboli. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day led to a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.
