This Instagram model is working out all over Miami Beach, even with toilet paper

Seen a woman working out solo with her pink baby stroller in Miami Beach?

Local lifestyle Instagram page Only in Dade posted a few videos of her around town.

There she is on Ocean Drive and Collins Avenue twerking, doing burpees, squats and high kicks. She props her cellphone camera against the carriage to do her thing while her baby naps.

Call it fitness in self isolation. She’s Svetlana, no last name, please. And she wants locals to keep working out, despite having to practice social distancing, she told the Miami Herald.

The native Russian whose handle is @sweet_fit_lana is also staying in shape the way a lot of us are: inside. One of her more popular videos shows how to use toilet paper as an exercise device.

Svetlana is the true definition of a working mom navigating challenging times.

Is she concerned about her or her baby girl contracting coronavirus outside?

“Yes, I’m worried, but I’m staying positive,” she told the Herald. “I’m careful.”
