She has also posed for Swedish brand Chiquelle with advertisements in Elle magazine Sweden for May issue 2.
Blanca said staying slim has a lot to do with consistent exercise, even if the routine is light.
“I try to exercise for an hour a day, five days a week,” said the Mission: Possible star.
‘Cardio and strength training are the keywords. I use weights to stay tight. Ten pound dumbbells are great for toning.

Fun at home: Cardi B wore bright pink leggings as she danced in time for Cinco De Mayo
“Some weeks are challenging to keep up with the routine. I try to be kind to myself when I can’t do a routine, and know that even one day or five minutes of exercise a day is 100% better than nothing.”
“Sometimes I just walk around my neighborhood for 15 minutes when I don’t have time to go to the gym.
‘I also have a walking app, so walking to the car or going to the gas station helps, everything is correct.’
And she’s got some diet tricks, too.
“I eat grilled foods over fried foods. It is healthier for the heart and lowers cholesterol.

His unannounced visit prompted one onlooker to remark, “This is the most DC thing that’s ever happened to me.”
Biden was joined by Vice President Kamala Harris at Taqueria Habanero, in the capital’s Edgewood neighborhood.
The president paid for his order in cash and posed for photos with staff. Aides said Biden ordered a chicken quesadilla and churros as well as an assortment of tacos for White House staff. To the people peering over a wall and looking down from their apartment balconies to see him, the president joked, “Don’t jump.”
Last year, Biden and his wife Jill celebrated Cinco de Mayo at the White House. In 2021, the president visited Las Gemelas, a Mexican restaurant in Washington, and told workers there that the company would receive financial support from its COVID relief package.
