She keeps her lean body practicing boxing twice a week. Julia says: “Boxing is a way to exercise my reflexes, but I also need a clear mind when I’m practicing it, so I am adept of yoga. In a way, both activities are like meditation to me but in different ways. Boxing works many parts of your body and it also helps release tension, and yoga makes you feel more relaxed through being more aware of your breathing and your body. Both combined make me have a fit body and be in harmony with who I am”, said Julia Melim.

When she moved to L.A, Julia was not be able to body board as much since she lived far from the beach in Hollywood. In New York the situation is almost the same.

For this Brazilian actress, model, and now reporter, in order to be happy she suggest being positive and sending out positive energy. “When you have a good attitude, good things happen and good people come to you” she completes.
