Sofia Resing is slipping in some exercise in the Western Sahara. In a new social media post the Brazilian model shows off her fantastic physique in a two-piece exercise set while stretching. “an oasis in the Sahara…will definitely be back,” she captioned the series of snaps and video clips taken from her vacation. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.
Sofia keeps her diet healthy. “My morning routine consists of… making my own fresh green juice,” she told The Fashion Spot. “I usually add guarana powder, a Brazilian extract, for extra energy.” She tries to get lots of fresh produce in her diet, like “acai bowls and tapioca in the mornings” and “alkaline waters, fresh fruits and kombucha.”
Next up, “going to work out,” she says. “In New York I love to vary between functional training sessions and yoga,” she added. “Always better to work out with a partner 👯♀️ Thanks @kylerussellhoffman for a killer abs and arms day!!!” She oftentimes works out in the Alo Studio in New York. “Everything everywhere,” she captioned a video of her workout.
Sofia loves water sports. “When I am on the beach, I love to paddleboard if the water is flat and bodyboard if there are waves,” she told The Fashion Spot. The American Council on Exercise (ACE) endorses paddle boarding as a great workout for the core and a good form of cardio. The water sport can burn an average of 385 calories for a 140 pound male and 436 for a female the same size, per a study conducted by Arizona State University.

Sofia enjoys the perks of coffee. According to the Cleveland Clinic, there are several benefits of drinking coffee in moderation. “It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function,” they say, citing a study finding that caffeine can improve endurance and performance during exercise. It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.
