Antonela Roccuzzo, beyond being the wife of Argentine star Lionel Messi, has become a true influencer for lifestyle issues, sharing how exercise is a central part of her life, and recently in an interview for Elle, she opened up about what exercise means to her and the specific importance it has in her day-to-day life, beyond an indispensable habit to take care of her physical health.
Antonela Roccuzzo’s fitness routine
Her exercise routine is not just an aesthetic issue, but an emotional tool that helps her stay strong in every way.
For me, my exercise routine is like my therapy
‘Anto‘ said she tries to train every day. She attends an all-female gym and twice a week takes FitJam classes, led by a Brazilian instructor, and more than an intense session, these classes are like a mental escape.
It’s a way for my mind to be somewhere else. It makes me forget everything and start the day on the right foot
Exercise, explains the influencer, model and businesswoman, allows her to disconnect from the routine, the cell phone and the obligations of her day to day, which is why for an hour, every day, she leaves her phone in the bag and puts her watch in “Do Not Disturb” mode. This is to encourage a moment of peace and relaxation or introspection without interruptions.
Antonela Roccuzzo: From fear of weights to recommending them to everyone
One of the most striking points was her stance on weight training. For years she avoided lifting weights for fear of “getting big“, a common myth among many women.
I used to be afraid of lifting weights because I thought I would get ‘big’, but that never happened
Today, she not only practices them, but also recommends them. She even encourages her own parents to include strength exercises in their weekly routine, convinced that they are essential for future well-being.

Antonela has always been an athlete, but her current approach is different. For the past two or three years, she has been following a structured plan that combines strength, nutrition and recovery. This discipline has given her emotional stability.
I feel strong. It’s very important to do it like my meditation
In parallel, Antonela is starting a new stage as the face of Anastasia Beverly Hills, joining her wide range of collaborations with companies such as Adidas, Alo and Stanley. Anastasia Soare, founder of the brand, described her as a modern woman who balances motherhood, partnership and integrity.
Anto’s statements allow us to see another side of her, beyond her role as a mother, wife, businesswoman or influencer, to be honest about more intimate aspects of her life as a figure who is usually very reserved about aspects of her private life.
