Sara Sampaio shares photos from the Maldives

Sara Sampaio is walking on the beach in her bathing suit. In a new social media post the Victoria's Secret Angel shows off her beautiful body in a bathing suit while in the Maldives. "Paradise," she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. She is currently vacationing at the ultra-luxe Nova Maldives, a modern, low-key resort in the islands, with Kelsey Merritt, Jasmine Tookes, and Shanina Shaik.

Sara doesn't skip breakfast. She wakes up "around nine, ten" and fuels up. "My favorite breakfast is two sunny-side-up eggs with avocado toast. And sometimes I'll have pancakes, maybe with some banana," she told The Cut.

Sara loves pilates. "I've been doing a lot of SLT. It's like a really intense Pilates with a machine. I've noticed with my body that small movements have done more for my body than the boot camps. My body moves better when it's very focused on small movements that elongate your body and your muscles," she told The Cut. "I tried SLT for the first time five or six years ago when I first got to New York. It was really hard, it was too hard. Then I was training for the Victoria's Secret show last year and gave it another try. I really liked it, it was not as hard. I think they had changed it a little bit. I could actually go through a whole class without feeling like I was going to break down."

Sara also enjoys the benefits of running "I'm not a runner, but I'm pushing myself. When the weather gets a little bit nicer, I start thinking, Ah, I may just go for a run outside, even if it's just about a five-minute run," she told The Cut. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. "For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories," they say.

"I'm a big believer in not doing crazy diets and not to stop eating what makes you happy or what you like," Sara told The Cut. Instead, her approach is all about balance. "If you've had a long day and you really want a burger, just have that burger or pizza and maybe for lunch the next day you have fish with vegetables or salad with chicken," she said. "I've been through, not crazy diets, but I've been very strict or not eaten carbs and that made me so crazy. I'm from Portugal — we eat a lot of carbs, like bread, pasta, and rice in just one meal. There's no worse thing when you want something so bad and you're like, I can't have it, I can't have it. I was stressing so much about it that my body was not feeling well. Mentally, you're not feeling good. If I want to have a little bread for lunch because it makes me happy, I'm good."

"If I don't get my eight hours of sleep, it's going to be a hard day. Your skin regenerates, your eyes are brighter and bigger, you know? Sleeping is a reset of your body. I try to work out as much as I can, but also giving yourself some rest time," she told The Cut. What are the health benefits of sleep? According to the Sleep Foundation, getting enough z's is a mood booster, promotes heart health, regulates blood sugar, improves mental function, restores your immune system, helps relieve stress, and aids in weight loss.

Putting on a snorkel and fins and swimming through the water — like Sara did in the Maldives — is a great workout. In addition to being a great aerobic exercise and burning calories, other health benefits may include improved cardiovascular function, stress reduction, mood enhancement, and muscular toning.

Jasmine Tookes shares photos from the Maldives

Jasmine Tookes is living her best life in the Maldives in her swimsuit. In some new Instagram Stories, the former Victoria's Secret Angel flaunts her amazing figure in a bathing suit while vacationing at the ultra-luxe Nova Maldives, a modern, low-key resort in the islands. She was joined by fellow Angels, Sara Sampaio, Kelsey Merritt, and Shanina Shaik.

Jasmine detailed a day in her life to The Cut, "I love to sleep in, but I feel good when I get up early and get the day started. I try to get up early," she told them. Whether you wake up early or sleep in, there are lots of benefits to getting rest. The Sleep Foundation maintains that getting enough z's is a mood booster, promotes heart health, regulates blood sugar, improves mental function, restores your immune system, helps relieve stress, and aids in weight loss.

Jasmine exercises in the morning, to "get it over and done with," she says. "If I wait for the evening, it's not going to happen."

After getting up, Jasmine fuels up with food and a shake. "So, I wake up and have a protein shake. I'll put in banana, chocolate whey powder, peanut butter, strawberries, and almond milk. I like the Isopure chocolate whey powder; it's one of the cleanest ones. Then I'll have breakfast, which is usually two hard-boiled eggs with spinach," she told The Cut.

Jasmine exercises so she can eat what she wants. "I love to eat tons of food with lots of carbs. I balance it with working out. But generally, I try to be very clean and eat healthy, and always have a lot of protein. I do have a lot of cheat days. I feel like you should be able to eat what you want," she told The Cut. One of her cheat meals? "I love to have hot wings and French fries," she said.

"I like to mix it up," Jasmine told The Cut about her approach to fitness. "I work out about four times a week. I love doing barre classes once a week. I do Physique 57. Their class is less cardio-based — it's slower."

asmine also loves an elongating form of fitness. "I love doing Pilates on a reformer for tightening and lightening. Twice a week," she said.

"I'll do weight training to build thighs and bulk up a little more. I'll go to Dogpound. They really listen to you and what you want to accomplish. And for me, I want to build my legs and my butt. That's always a goal. I love a bigger butt," Jasmine revealed. "There's a stigma surrounding heavy weight lifting, but you just have to figure out what's good for you. Some people might bulk up with doing heavy weight lifting, but I don't. I would say, try it once a week. Add more lengthening and Pilates and see if you see a difference. For me, personally, because of my metabolism, I try to stay far away from cardio for my body type. I also need a lot of protein. It's the only way for me to maintain my body."

Victoria’s Secret Angel Jasmine Tookes rocking a stylish swimsuit that flattered her skin tone and showed off her gorgeous model figure

The photo showed Tookes posing in an elegant marble setting. She sat on the stone floor with her legs to the side. She bent one knee up while placing her hands down for support.

She tilted her head back, glancing down at the camera with a proud expression. Tookes wore her raven hair slicked back and styled down in straight strands.

Tookes had on a white one-piece bathing suit featuring a classic design and a textured fabric. It included a low-cut neckline that teased a bit of her cleavage and high-cut sides that bared her hips and helped to elongate her slender legs.

She accessorized her look with a couple of gold necklaces, a series of earrings, a sophisticated bracelet and a simple ring.

Victoria’s Secret model Jasmine Tookes says the real secret to looking and feeling good about yourself is embracing your figure

The 28-year-old, Jasmine Tookes, who is proudly seen modeling barely-there lingerie and swimwear for the popular fashion label, insisted there is no secret diet she follows to keep her coveted curves in runway-ready shape.

“I am so bored of people asking me what I eat every day because, honestly, I eat everything in moderation!” the model told Glamour UK Friday. “I love food so much!”

Tookes admitted that despite being a sought-after pinup, her shape does fluctuate like anyone else’s and the real secret to looking and feeling good about yourself is embracing your figure.

“You learn to love your body more and more,” said Tookes. “Especially as you get older things change, you work out a little harder or a little less. You are constantly learning to accept and love your body. Everybody has that one little thing they don’t like. You have to learn to embrace that and love that. That’s what I have done.”

But Tookes, who has been a Victoria’s Secret Angel since 2015 told “The moment I found that I was an Angel, I couldn’t believe it and still to this day I don’t believe it at all!” she said at the time. “I still see myself in the pictures of the show and I’m like, ‘Is that really me?’ Because it was such a lifelong dream of mine to be in this position and it’s so surreal. I feel very honored.”

My life has changed a little bit since I became an Angel,” she continued. “It’s so much fun and I’m a part of a whole new family. It’s like a little group of sisters. And we all get along so well. We get to travel together and work together. So it’s a lot of fun to have these other girls in your life that you can share these moments with.”

Victoria's Secret Model Jasmine Tookes reveals How to Get Bikini-Ready Fast

Jasmine Tookes, 28, who become a Victoria Secret model and cover star may be genetically blessed, but she still put in plenty of effort in staying that way.

She has tried most trends on the planet in an effort to look and feel her best. As VS Angel Tookes told Us Weekly in February 2019, “I feel my most confident, best and sexiest when I’m just really happy.”

And she’s happy when she’s getting strong with fun workouts. “I’m really into Pilates lately. It’s super good. I love doing the reformer machine,” she added. But even she has a quick-fix for when she needs to slip into a two-piece in a hurry.

When Us Weekly asked the VS model for her best tip to get bikini-ready fast, she responded, “You know what's actually really good that my trainer taught me? You get one of those small trampolines, I have one at my house, and you do a bunch of different jumping sequences and it really is the quickest thing to tone your legs and make them feel really good,” she says.

Her other no-fail move: “Do a plank for a minute before you throw on a bikini and you're ready!”

In 2015, she became a Victoria's Secret Angel. Tookes was selected to wear the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show Fantasy Bra (worth $3 million in 2016) at the 2016 show, which was held in Paris, France, which made her the 3rd black model to wear the bra.

Tookes made her debut at No. 17 on Forbes' "The World's Highest Paid Models" list in 2016, with estimated earnings of $4 million.
