Monica Ivancan: Is she planning another child?
Monica Ivancan (41) is not only a well-known model and TV presenter, the 41-year-old is also a trained nutritionist and fitness trainer. In her book "Pilates Power - Agility, Endurance, Strength" (EMF Verlag) she reveals her fitness secret. In an interview with spot on news she talks about her sports program and family planning. Do daughter Rosa (5) and son Anton (2) still have a sibling?
How does Pilates enrich your everyday life as a mother of two?
Monica Ivancan: Pilates is my island, which belongs only to me in often stressful everyday life as a mom. When I say mom is doing Pilates now, everyone leaves me alone for 20 minutes. Hallelujah - how I enjoy it!
A training of ten minutes per day is already enough to achieve positive effects. What can you do with it as a beginner?
Ivancan: You clearly feel better mobility and strength. But the best part is, you feel like more!
You used to lean to Winkarme, you write. How has your body changed since you did Pilates?
Ivancan: I just feel better in my body because my muscles feel very tight. In addition, I find that my stomach is firmer than before the births of my kids. And I got that only from Pilates.
Which sports do you do besides Pilates?
Ivancan: I like to walk and love yoga and boxing. A sport for every mood. But if I had to choose a sport, it would certainly be Pilates.
For you, a holistic approach is important. What else is next to the movement?
Ivancan: The diet clearly plays a big role, rest periods for the body, a good social environment and always something for the mind to do. At the moment I am participating in an Italian course. I have decided that I will be 105 years old and learn something new every year until then. No matter what. (Laughs)
How do you deal with situations that put you under stress?
Ivancan: I have learned that proper breathing can help very well. Sometimes longer than one. Has already avoided some trouble at home. (Laughs)
They were the very first "Bachelorette". Did you follow the last season of the dome show and what do you think about the format today?
Ivancan: Unfortunately I do not have that. But I think it's still a very good entertainment format. I have friends who always host "Bachelor" evenings and watch the programs.
Which TV format would you like today?
Ivancan: I like reality formats a lot, but I tend to go with "Global Gladiators" rather than "Celebrity Big Brother". In addition, I'm on relationship formats. I think there are many tips and tricks on how couples can happily stay together when their pink glasses are dropped off, like "After Bachelor and Love Island". (Laughs)
Can you imagine being a mother again?
Ivancan: If I had been asked half a year ago, I would have answered: no way !! When I see a baby today, I get very weak knees and just sigh: ooohhh how cute! So who knows !!
