Adriana Lima’s trainer just shared the workout she used to get ready for the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2026 and it’s surprisingly simple

The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2026 took place in Culver City, California, on Sunday night and it saw some of the world’s biggest models and celebrities take to the stage. It featured the longest-serving Victoria’s Secret Angel—which is how the brand describes their signature models—Adriana Lima.

Lima, 45, has always been dedicated to working out—in 2023 she shared footage of her boxing to show support for Amanda Nunes ahead of Nunes’ UFC bout.

In the last 24 hours, her trainer Walter Savage shared a post on Instagram with some of the exact moves he used to get Lima ready for Sunday night’s show, and they’re surprisingly simple.

What is Adriana Lima’s workout routine?

The workout routine Savage shared consists of dumbbell and bodyweight exercises. They include:

• Biceps curls
• Straight-leg kickbacks with ankle weights
• Push-ups
• Triceps dips
• Single-arm bent-over rows

Savage doesn’t specify whether this is just part of Lima’s workout, or the entire thing, but we can assume this is an upper-body-focused workout and that the model does a separate routine to train her legs. However, the moves she is doing here are surprisingly simple and beginner-friendly, much more so than the exercises revealed in Jessica Biel’s Matchbox workout last week.

You might be surprised that someone who has been training seriously for more than 20 years chooses such basic moves, but according to Laura Johnson—a master trainer at 1Rebel who just launched their strength-focused Reshape Reps classes—simple workouts are often the most effective.

“The basics are the basics for a reason,” she says. “Curls, press-ups, dips and rows work every major muscle in your upper body, and because there's nothing complicated to think about, all your attention can focus on control, tempo and form.”

“These four moves cover pushing and pulling, so the front and back of your upper body both get worked, ensuring nothing gets left behind,” Johnson continues. “If you keep progressing them with more reps, a slower tempo or a harder variation, they’ll keep working for you, whatever your level.”
