You were born in Cartago, Colombia. You are presently one of the leading fitness models and Instagram star. You are also the mother of two children. Tell us more about this fairy tale journey as a leading fitness model?
Alejandra Gil:
Hello, thank you very much . Do you know something? What strikes me is that I have never considered myself a leader in the industry. I have always looked at other girls who have been around a lot longer than me that have inspired my appreciation for the industry and all the work we put in. My journey has been incredible so far, with so many people supporting me, especially in the US, where I always get a great reception each and every time I visit. I love the kindness of all my fans.
Namita Nayyar:
A healthy morning ritual that you follow?
Alejandra Gil:
Always drink a glass of water on an empty stomach and plan the rest of the day in terms of meals and training time.
Namita Nayyar:
What motivated you to take up fitness modeling as a career?
Alejandra Gil:
Modeling actually found me. I’ve always focused on training to compete which is what I really love but with so many brands and sponsors asking for photo shoots to promote their products it was an easy transition. Not to mention it was financially rewarding.
Namita Nayyar:
You are a model, Instagram sensation, and a mother, which role do you think defines you the best?

Mother and Athlete! I am proud to be known as both.

Namita Nayyar:
What exercises is an integral part of your home workout routine? Five must-do mornings stretches. How do you like to unwind in the night?

For me, the most integral and important part every day before any training is stretching, joint mobility and exercises with bands to activate the body.

It is known that you love Cross fit training. Tell us more about your Cross fit routine?
Alejandra Gil:
During normal times, pre COVID-19, I try to train 2 times a day at 10:30 AM until 12:30 PM and then from 5:30 PM until 7:30 PM. If not, I can do a single longer session in the morning.
Namita Nayyar:
Your meal before and after a workout? The secret to a slim torso.
Alejandra Gil:
My food before training in nutritional values is 30 grams of carbs, 7.5 to 15 grams of healthy fat and 20 grams of protein. The sources of these macronutrients vary every day. After the training only increases about 15 grams or 30 carbohydrates but the rest is equal accompanied by a lot of green salad.
The secret is that there is no secret. Eat right and burn more calories than you consume.
Namita Nayyar:

My favourite food of the day is snacks around 4 pm. It usually contains dried nuts, seeds, fruits, Whey Protein or Greek Yogurt.
