Bregje Heinen is on fire in her latest workout video – in her exercise clothes. In a new social media post the model shows off her amazing body in an Alo onesie during an intense strength training session. “Insane,” commented one of her followers about her rigorous routine. “Magnificent! Dynamic! Sensational!” added another. How does the gorgeous model maintain her body? Here are her top diet and fitness tips for staying in shape.
Heinen explained to FOX News that she doesn’t mind fighting for her body. “I do a lot of boxing,” she said. “Which is basically the only thing I enjoy, because I don’t like the gym very much. It’s good to find that one thing you do enjoy and really try to stick with that.”
“I do like to walk a lot. Mostly in New York. When I’m going somewhere, I’d rather just walk there,” she says about getting her steps in. Why should you walk, according to science? One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day led to a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.
“I like to go dancing, maybe once every other week,” Bregji confessed to Into the Gloss. Dancing helps build strength and promote flexibility, and also aids in heart health. A 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine determined that people who engaged in moderate-intensity dancing were 46 percent less likely to develop heart disease or die from it than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues.
Bregje tries to eat healthy most of the time. She loves Mexican takeout. “Right now, I’m trying to be healthier because I have a casting in four weeks so instead of takeout, I’ll make chicken and vegetables. But I really love unhealthy food. Candy, chips, chocolate, everything…Sometimes my boyfriend and I will go to Shake Shack before we go out to a movie or something. So good.”
Bregjie takes her vitamins. “I also take a lot of vitamins for my hair. There’s Ester-C and Fish Oil, and I also take Viviscal twice a day for my hair. It really makes your hair and your nails grow much faster, thicker, and stronger,” she says.
Strength training, which she does in her latest social media video, is another one of her go-to workouts. “I’ll also do some leg and ab exercises, along with cardio in between. So it’s 15 minutes of boxing, another 15 for abs, and then another 15 for legs. It’s getting a full body workout, while keeping it fun,” she told Fox.
