86 || FITNESS MAGAZINE || OCTOBER 2015 MOST Fitness Magazine: We have seen you perform so many different types of training in your videos, interviews, and in your photos on social media. What are your favorite training methods that you feel give you the best feeling that you are getting the best results?Michelle Lewin: Well, correct dieting is the most important of all. It might seem weird that I mention it here, but for me it%u2019s also mental. If I eat badly, I feel bad and lose motivation. For targeted muscle groups, twice per week is a must. Once is normally enough, but twice for those muscles you really want to grow. Last, but not least, cardio is for me essential. No matter how strict the diet, I need to do cardio to really get the definition.MFF: You have been referred to as one of the most perfect female figures currently in the industry and you are recognized significantly by people outside of the industry for your figure. What do you think are your best aspects of your figure, and which is your least favorite aspect? ML: I%u2019m pretty happy with my glutes, abs, and waist since I had none of that a few years ago. Those are super targeted groups for me, and I think I succeeded pretty well. Least must be my mind; I%u2019m never really ok with how I look. That can be quite tiring that I cannot see what others see.MFF: Your husband Jimmy Lewin is your trainer, manager, and social media promoter. How has your husband helped you the most when it comes to each of these arenas?ML: He has been training 10 years more than me with different educated personal trainers, so everything he has learned he shows me. As a manager it%u2019s extremely good to have. I would be completely run over if I did this myself. I believe too much in people, and think that everybody is good until proven the other way. Also as social media promoter, he is really involved. The reason is that you many times see girls boom and then fall like a stone. The reason is that no one is telling them what they are doing wrong. Everyone needs a second opinion. It%u2019s very different how you want to be seen and how the audience wants to see you. MFF: You perform a lot of work to manage yourself on social media, which is measurably evident with the success you%u2019ve seen within the arena. Was that something that simply came naturally to you, or was it something that you had to work at and develop over time?ML: It actually more or less just happened. Latinas are fashion, fitness is fashion, and social media is booming. I happened to be in the middle of it, and I played my cards right.MFF: We see that you show off a lot of Miami when it comes to your social media presence, and even in interview materials. Could you see yourself doing what you do in any other place and, if so, where?ML: Miami is a place everybody loves and where everyone wants to go. It%u2019s a dream for most people, and therefore I love to show it off. I can see myself in other places, yes, but Miami suits me the best.MFF: In one of your interviews, it was stated that the first day in a gym with your mother changed your life and began your journey from a skinny seventeen year old, to the amazing figure that you have today. What about that day made the experience so great and influential towards shaping your future to what it is today?ML: Obviously, yes, but little did I know. I just wanted a bit more legs. Then, when I was in Italy with my husband and he was working, I had to do something. I loved the gains and the visible veins, and it just went on.MFF: You have an incredible amount of fans, both male and female. However, there are a ton of young women who look to you as an example of how they would like to appear physically and how they would live their life as philosophically. >>>
