Supermodel Irina Shayk, the girlfriend of Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo, flaunts her gym-toned physique in the sizzling new ads for Lascana Lingerie Swimwear.
Irina, the cover girl for the 2011 “Sports Illustrated” swimsuit issue, is a fitness fanatic who works out 4-5 days a week doing Pilates, boxing and calisthenics. Unlike some models who claim they never diet or exercise, the lithe 5-foot-8 Shayk loves to work out and enjoys taking care of herself.
“It should be a pleasure [to exercise], as positive emotions always make you beautiful!” said Irina. “I personally love going to the gym! I love to work out, it’s a great start to a day.”
Shayk, 26, insists exercise makes her feel good, and isn’t something she does just to be thin.
“I work out four or five times a week with my trainer not because I want to be skinny, but because it just makes me feel good to start my day with a workout,” said the Russian beauty. “When I travel, I try to work out at least three times a week. It’s very important for me. After it, I feel full of energy.”
While Irina likes to stay in bed, watch TV and eat pizza on her free days, she embraces a healthy lifestyle because it makes her feel good.
“It’s very important to take care of your health,” she said. “I work out a lot, love boxing and Pilates, but I also eat healthy food and drink a lot of water. But the most important thing is to be happy and to be in love with your body!”
Shayk, who often spends her down time on beach vacations with soccer superstar Cristiano, doesn’t deprive herself, and insists that moderation is the key.
“I never really diet,” she said. “I think that a person can eat what she likes and do some exercises to be in shape — doesn’t matter if it’s going to be gym or swimming, walking in a park or Pilates.”
