Personal Trainer

Victoria’s Secret model, Arlenis Sosa was asked about the fitness and stuff like that. She says there is always time for workout. You just have to fit in it. For example, if she is traveling, she packs the sneakers with her and try to run around her hotel or sometimes gets up early (like 5 am) and go to the nearby gym / hotel gym. If that is not possible, she does floor exercises like crunches for abs, etc in her hotel room.

When she is not traveling, she exercises with her personal trainer and does a lot of Pilates.

She likes to listen to house music while working out like Swedish House Mafia, Sebastian, etc.

She always keeps nuts and some non-sweet stuff always with her. This is her favorite go-to-snack.

She drinks a lot of water to keep herself hydrated and skin glowing. It also helps in anti-aging.
