Meet Yami Mufdi, your new Dominican bff. She is a fitness trainer and owner of Levavi, an activewear and swimwear line with a purpose. Her biggest mission in life is to help as many women flourish in what they’ve always been capable of. She’s a useful resource offering so many at-home workouts on her Instagram page. Another thing we love about her is that she is curvy and confident! She’s been open about having done all the fad diets that promised her results including eating 900 calories a day and doing four hours of cardio. But what she claims was missing was someone to guide her through a plan that worked for her body and that’s where she’s found the most effectiveness.

Another plus is that she loves to work her abs so if your goal is a strong core, visit her page for some killer routines.
