Personal Trainer

Rosario’s favorite exercise is Pilates. She starts her fitness routine with running, which is also good for singing as it expands the lungs.

When she is traveling, she gets less time for a workout. So, instead, she works out in the form of moving through the staircase, instead of the elevator, a lot of walking around the hotel, or sometimes morning jog with friends.

It is a must to have the right food before starting a workout to have the maximum and best results possible with your body. So, she advises having a mix of carbohydrates and proteins, at least 20 minutes before workout. Also, drink lots of water.
