Carmen rises and exercises. She sets her alarm for 4:00 am and puts in serious sweat time. "I train for two hours, from 5 to 7. I had never done it in my life, never and now I like it," she reveals.

Not only does it build strength and promote flexibility, but helps you lose weight and even promotes cardiovascular function. According to a 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine people who engage in moderate-intensity dancing are 46 percent less likely to develop heart disease or die from it than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers are just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues.

Carmen priortizes self-care "I tell you that today in the midst of so many recordings, I took some time to pamper myself and relax! You can't imagine the delight of this place here in Bogota @wellnessspamovil Thank you for spoiling me so much. Because we don't have to wait for a special moment to take care and love each other," she captioned a post. 

Carmen stays active even when she isn't working out. One of her favorite activities? Horseback riding. According to the American Heart Association, riding horses is great for your health. Not only does it boost cardiovascular health, but builds core strength, burns calories, and lowers blood pressure. It is also great for your mental health as it helps relax you.

Carmen isn't a chef, admitting that she and her husband order takeout a lot. "We are going at a loss here," Carmen told  Hola! when asked who does the cooking in their home. "Sebastián does not cook, neither do I. Now that we were recently in Bogotá and we had to share the apartment for four days, it was like… 'delivery!'"
