Personal Trainer
Elsa had played basketball at the pro level for two years. This made her physically more strong and prepared for the modeling better. She used to had 8 sessions of practice per week to train for the basketball. To play matches with different countries, she used to travel a lot. This really has a great impact on her modeling career.
She now feels more confident as a model, if fitness is talked about. After stepping into modeling, she did workout, but with the help of a personal trainer, Justin. The trainer makes her to do Pilates, boxing, stretching and balance exercises. In New York City, she goes to two gyms flywheel and flybarre. She enjoys doing spinning there. Spinning workout helps her shape the calves area and make it more stronger, which is important for a model. She goes to Flybarre gym to elongate the muscles and make the body more toned.
She easily gets bored with a daily routine. So, she keeps switching to alternate methods.
Elsa also goes to Zumba classes and does restorative yoga.
