For NINA AGDAL, the key to a happy and fulfilled life can be found in a simple, self-imposed rule: Every day, she makes a point to try something new—whether it’s a workout, a restaurant, or just a street she’s never biked down before in her current hometown of New York City.

Adventure has always been a driving force for Nina, 24, who was born in Denmark and shot to fame with a 2013 Carl’s Jr. Super Bowl commercial (she has also modeled for Victoria’s Secret, Billabong, and Bebe). In 2014, she hit household-name status when she appeared on the 50th-anniversary cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue alongside Lily Aldridge and Chrissy Teigen—and she has been one of the most fun stars to follow on social media ever since. On her Instagram, she posts everything from behind-the scenes shots in amazing places to photos from nights out with fellow model friends, like Barbara Palvin and Constance Jablonski. We caught up with her in New York City—where she’s often seen with boyfriend Leonardo DiCaprio—to pick her brain about mindful living.

Have you always been really into fitness?

I grew up very active, and my parents made me try every single sport there was. I would pick some of them up, but with others, I’d be like, “I hate it.” So they’d say, “OK, let’s try something else.”

What stuck?

Dancing, basketball, soccer, and tennis. Then, as I grew older, with my [modeling] schedule I couldn’t be part of a team, which was actually really sad because I love team sports and that getting together every week.
