Adriana Lima is getting her sweat on in workout gear. In a new social media post the Victoria’s Secret Angel starts her exercise session on a stair climber. “Warming up,” she captioned the Instagram Story. What other exercise and lifestyle habits help keep her in shape? Here is everything you need to know about her diet and workout routine.
Adriana’s motivation to stay in shape is longevity. “I plan to live a long time,” she told Elle. “Keeping your body healthy with workouts, it’s important what you put into your body. Eating this way gives you energy so you can have a long day of work and not feel exhausted.”

Lima relies on meal delivery services. She even travels with a cooler filled with pre-made meals from Perfecting Athletes, a South Florida-based nutrition service used by pro boxers and UFC fighters, which she microwaves in her hotel room. Most of the meals are plant based, like chickpeas, brown rice, and edamame.
“You can have these types of results and instead of having vitamins, you can use food as energy,” says Lima. “Traveling and being at photo shoots, it’s kind of hard to find healthy food. I have these two girls I’m very lucky to have, Michelle [Ingels] and Paulina [Indara]. They are nutritionists and certified in Chinese medicine so they design my meals depending on what I’m doing at the gym. It keeps me moving.”
Lima revealed on her Instagram Stories that she is a fan of 54D—a “human transformation program” that involves high-intensity training workouts. “Breathless today. It was so tough,” she captioned a post.. “But I enjoyed [it]!” She also boxes with Michael Olajide Jr. of Aerospace, and says throwing punches is her favorite workout.
“If I have a gym at my hotel, I’ll wake up and do a quick workout, or I’ll run outside as a way to see the place that I’m visiting,” Lima told CR Fashion Book. “Another good trick of mine is packing a jump rope and doing ten minutes in my room first thing in the morning to get my heart rate up.”
“I love smoothies, fresh fruit, and veggies. I also take a daily vitamin and drink lots of different herbal teas to help purify my body,” she told CR Fashion Book. She also drinks “lots of water.”
