Breathing exercises instead of abs, legs and bums: Pamela Reif with a stubborn illness

Ibiza (Spain) - For Pamela Reif, the new year is starting quite differently than planned. The entrepreneur and influencer has been in bed for several days with severe pneumonia.

In a post on Instagram, the 28-year-old informs her fans about her current state of health.

Unusually for many, she is not seen in a sporty outfit with dumbbells in her hands on a yoga mat, as is usually the case. On the contrary: Pamela is shown painting an orange butterfly in front of a large canvas.

The other photos in the series also show the rather calmer side of the influencer. An explanation can be found in the image description.

Pamela Reif: "The only thing I'm practising right now is breathing."

In it, the model explains that she was struggling with the flu before the Christmas holidays, which then developed into severe pneumonia.

She has now been forced to adapt her active lifestyle and give her body time to recover.

She jokingly writes: "The only thing I'm training right now is breathing."

But the fitness influencer doesn't want to let her fans down and has announced that she will soon be releasing a hip-leg mobility workout. More videos will follow as soon as she is feeling better again.
