It was these hours spent in the gym working on her glutes and abs, which sparked her interest in modelling as a career. She kept working out and, gradually, began to attract attention from Brazilian modelling scouts.

Training

Beach-body Workout

Aricia focuses her workouts around maintaining her beach-ready model physique. She doesn’t want to add any bulk to anywhere except her legs and glutes, so avoids using dumbbells or any heavy upper-body movements. She does, however, complete cardio based upper-body exercises such as the battle rope swing.

Legs

Aricia prides herself on her well built legs and glutes, focusing much of her workout routine on this area. She incorporates lunges, squats and laying hamstring curls which add tone and definition to her legs. She believes her legs and glutes are her best features, so never forgets to train them every week.

Abs

For her abdominal definition, Aricia likes to complete crunches, leg raises and planks. Before photo-shoots, she increases the intensity of these workouts; usually including an extra High Intensity Interval Training session. Cardio is crucial for Aricia in burning fat and revealing her abs, and these HIIT sessions, as well as runs, are important parts of her routine.

She also makes sure she hits her daily macro-nutrient needs. She eats lean meat and fish such as tuna, chicken and turkey, as well as healthy fats such as nuts.

As she doesn’t want to add too much weight to her physique, she also tries out new low-carb meal choices regularly. She loves to eat native tropical fruits for breakfast, enjoying fruit juice and smoothies.

When it comes to supplements, Aricia likes to use certain products as an addition to her already healthy diet. She incorporates BCAA’S, whey protein drinks and bars, as well as various specially designed pre-workout teas.
