Stephanie Rao

Fitness Model, Social Media Personality, Brand Ambassador

Stephanie Rao is a fitness model and brand ambassador from Miami, Florida. A mix of Italian and Puerto Rican, Stephanie has been interested in modeling since elementary school.

She says;“Close friends and close relatives can vouch for me when I say I loved modeling since I was in elementary, a child really.” She would look at the models from magazines, longing to be featured on a cover one day.

Slowly but surely, her dream came into life. At the age of 17, she started doing amateur photo shoots with friends who were photographers. Her pictures, which she published online, were noticed by local modeling agencies – and it wasn’t long before Stephanie started modeling for them.

One milestone after another, and Stephanie soon became one of the top models in Miami. She also started gaining online exposure, thanks to her ‘eye-catching’ Instagram pictures. Nowadays, Stephanie works hard in the gym to keep her figure ‘firm and fit’.

“In my life, I find it fun to be at peace. Just kicking it back with some good friends is where you will catch me if I’m not training. So for fun, I chill and talk about the universe and ways to get more money. Dig it?”

“When you come from nothing that’s all the motivation you need to work hard till you have everything.”

Training

Stephanie is famous for keeping her body fit and lean during the entire year. She does this by having several cardio ‘drills’ every week, alongside her intense weight-training regimen.

She usually dedicates five days per week for strength training and cardio, while the other two days are her ‘metabolic rest days.’ 

On these days, Stephanie doesn’t do any special physical activity, except for a hike with friends, or a slow-paced walk outdoors.

Developing Legs and Glutes

Even though Stephanie has amazingly shaped legs and glutes, she says it wasn’t always this way. She had to train heavily in the gym for many years to sculpt her physique. Especially her lower body.

This is one of her workout plans that she used to build her legs and glutes;

  • Squats, 3 sets of 6-10 reps
  • Bulgarian Deadlifts, 3 sets of 6-10 reps
  • Crossover Reverse Lunges, 1 set as many as possible
  • Glute Ham Raise, 3 sets of 12 reps
  • Lateral Band Walk, 3 sets of 12 reps
  • Glute Kickbacks, 3 sets of 14-20 reps

Nutrition

Due to her demanding modeling career, Stephanie has to eat healthy and balanced foods all-year-round. This way, she stays in top shape for her photo shoots.

Her diet consists of highly bioavailable proteins such as whey, egg whites, chicken, salmon. As for complex carbohydrates, she eats oats, brown rice, green leafy vegetables. As for healthy fats, she likes to eat olive oil and nuts.

She’ll occasionally ‘throw in’ a cheat meal into her diet, to satisfy her cravings. She says one cheat meal per month ‘doesn’t do any harm.’

What we can learn from Stephanie Rao

Stephanie Rao is a social media sensation, and one of the top models from the USA. However, her success didn’t come by accident – it’s a byproduct of her hard work, and dedication to her dreams.

She had to sacrifice many things on her way to the top. Including partying with friends, eating a lot of palatable foods, and other ‘little sweet things’ in life.

It’s always worth to remember that success is not just glamour and shine – like it sometimes appears to be. Behind her success, are years of sacrifice and discipline. Follow the same path, and you too could achieve your goals.
