Silvia Ribeiro: Exceptionally Talented and Stunningly Beautiful International Model and Triathlete Unveils her Success Secrets  

Ms. Namita Nayyar: Fitness modelling is about bold photo shoots. You have done various photoshoots and shown your spectacular chiseled physique. What advice you wish to give to the women of today to be body confident in order to do such bold modeling?

Ms. Silvia Ribeiro: For models in general my advice is to work with what you believe in. That's the first step for a great photoshoot. When you're doing something that you can truly back up that's when your light will shine the brightest. And for women in general the piece of advice I can give from what I've learned as a model is that confidence has a lot to do with happiness and accepting who you are. If you have the courage to tackle life and chase your dreams that power will transcend your presence. Being proud of yourself and what you chose to do will give you the confidence to look great in any situation because that's real power!

Ms. Namita Nayyar: Advice and motivational words to the inspiring and budding fitness models who all are your fans and shall like to know from you for their climb to ladder of success in field of professional fitness modelling?

Ms. Silvia Ribeiro: It's a very competitive industry and obviously it's really hard to achieve success. As in any other activity in life my belief is that hard work truly pays off! Don't go into this business searching for success or glamour as these as just products of many years of high quality work. But if you truly have a passion for what you do then go for it! Believe in dreams, be true to yourself, work hard and I believe that life will take care of bringing good things your way!

Ms. Namita Nayyar: Tell us more about the half Ironman distance where you had your best results and your experience at Ironman 70.3 Miami ​?

Ms. Silvia Ribeiro: The half ironman distance (Ironman 70.3) is my favourite distance in triathlon. It's a 1.2 mile swim followed by a 56 mile bike ride and a 13.1 mile half marathon to top it off! I was always more inclined to long duration exercise and I find this distance to be ideal to my skill set and also for the availability of time I have to train. It's where I've had my best results as some Top 10 finishes! The Ironman 70.3 Miami is a very special race for me as it was my first half ironman and also in the city where I discovered triathlon as a passion. I've raced it twice and it's a very beautiful course showcasing some of the main attractions in the city. No wonder so many people from all around the world go to Miami every year to race it!

Ms. Namita Nayyar: How do you balance your profession of being a leading model and a triathlete ?

Ms. Silvia Ribeiro: I try to stick to my routine as much as possible as it helps me get through all the hardships of both training and working. A high quality diet is also paramount in this process. Wherever I am I try to keep a balanced diet and also try to work out even if it's half an hour just to keep the metabolism going. When home I am very strict with my sleeping in order to stay healthy and also prepared to perform at my best in triathlon or modelling. And as usual I follow my motto of being happy to look happy!
 

Ms. Namita Nayyar: Tell us about a memorable experience you still remember about one of the fitness modeling photo shoots ?

Ms. Silvia Ribeiro: One of the most amazing photoshoots I've done was the cover of Triathlete magazine last year. As I triathlete this is Holy Graal and I've grown in the sport watching the cover with some of my idols and so many amazing athletes. When my agent told me they wanted me for the cover I think it took around two weeks for me to realize what was about to happen.

I flew to San Diego and it was so much better than even my dreams! The whole crew was amazing (most of them became good friends that I still see in races and events) and it was really a dream come true to have a photoshoot bringing together in such a beautiful way my two greatest passions: triathlon and modelling.

Ms. Namita Nayyar: What do you wish to say about the website Womenfitness.net and message for its visitors?

Ms. Silvia Ribeiro: The website womenfitness.net was always a reference and an inspiration for me! I've seen and read about some of the most amazing women out there and got inspired to keep pursuing my dreams. And now I have the opportunity to be here hopefully doing the same for other amazing women who will rock this world! I'm very proud of what I do and what I've accomplished as both a model and an athlete and hopefully I'll be able to inspire other women out there to be bold, brave and chase their dreams with everything they have!
