Adriana Lima’s Fitness Routine
The supermodel is a fan of Capoeira—a combination of Brazilian martial arts, dance, and music. She loves yoga which enables her to have a flexible body and helps her build strong abs. Adriana Lima’s workout exercises also includes spinning and jogging.
Lima swears by High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), which is a balance of hig- intensity exercises followed by low-intensity ones. She makes use of jump ropes during HIIT to reap maximum benefits. Here is a video she posted on Instagram in which the supermodel is seen engaged in criss cross rope jumping. It is a good cardio exercise which helps her lose fat and gives her a toned tummy. The HIIT exercises helped the model shed her post-baby weight in as less as five weeks. She worked out with her trainer twice a day, seven days a week when she had to walk the ramp for Victoria’s Secret after she gave birth.
Boxing is another workout which Lima loves. She practices a combination of complex drills with higher velocity and strength to keep her mentally and physically fit. The cardio requires her to be mentally quick and precise making her sharp.
Squats and abdominal workouts keep her body ramp ready. To tone her abs, she doesn’t workout with weights or on machines but just focuses on high intensity and rigorous workouts. She also incorporates core twists and side-reaching oblique raises to keep her abs strong and toned.
