Personal Trainer
Sasha is a food lover and also likes to exercise. So, she keeps a balance between the two.
Meditation and Tracy Anderson Method are a part of her daily life. Tracy Anderson’s dance-based workout is intense which makes her sweaty and shed harmful toxins.
Her diet is most of the times clean. She eats proteins in great amount plus veggies and fruits. Her meals are low in carbohydrates.
Eating more sugar makes her feel tired and devoid of energy.
Green juice is good for health especially skin, so she keeps having it throughout the day. But, coffee – just 1 cup a day.
She likes eating scrambled eggs with cream and Parmigiano for breakfast.
Sasha’s ideal dinner is caprese salad, filet mignon with peppercorn sauce, and spinach.
Dessert after dinner is either coconut sorbet or Nutella bread pudding (just a couple of bites).
