Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You move from Russia to United States and Europe for your professional career. For a model adjusting to new countries with their own cultures it must be difficult and then to adjust with modeling career in the new foreign land, what advice you can give to fellow models in a similar situation?
Ms. Irina Shayk:
My advice is just be yourself! Don’t break your personality to become somebody else! Work hard and be nice to people doesn’t matter who they are. You have to respect other people’s culture and traditions.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You are world leading media personality, model, actress and a brand ambassador. How do you manage such a remarkable multi-dimensional lifestyle?
Ms. Irina Shayk:
I have busy schedule and travelling nonstop. But I am thoroughly enjoying it! I take my work really seriously and as any business woman I need to plan my time carefully and never be lazy!
And it’s vitally important for me to spend time with my family. I try to travel to Russia at least 2 times a year and my mother and sister come to visit me in NY or in Europe. There is nothing more important than my family for me.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
What exercises comprise your fitness regime or workout routine you may wish to share?
Ms. Irina Shayk:
I love to work out with my trainer he advised me not to use any weights, so I use only body weight. I love to do Pilates! My teacher Andrea is the best in the world! I do Pilates machines work out. I think that movement is life, and if you don’t have the possibility to go to the gym, you can just walk around the city.
Of course you have to be careful with fast food and cakes but I would say if you can’t go without this food you’d better eat it before 6pm and try to burn it during the day! I never eat and go to bed straight after.
I am not a model who eats one yogurt a day and doesn’t eat on set! I am a regular women who enjoys cakes but I remember I have to pay for it in a gym.
