Boxing, Volleyball, and Other Ways Victoria's Secret Models Stay in Amazing Shape
I don't know about you, but every time the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show happens, I immediately want to get myself to the gym. The parade of impeccably toned abs, glutes, and legs, legs, legs is #fistpo overload-so when I went backstage as the models got ready I took the opportunity to find out exactly what their workouts look like. From boxing, to running on the beach, to strength training, there is no uniform regimen for these Angels. Get all their secrets, ahead.
Gigi Hadid
"One week of workouts for me is super random, because it can start with a photoshoot on the beach where I'm running on the beach all day long, so in a way that's a workout. I box. I ride my horses. I play volleyball-sometimes I'll find my volleyball coaches that I still talk to once in a while and go train with the kids they coach now. They're young kids but they're all taller than me and great players and I love that. Workouts change so I do what I'm feeling like, what makes me happy, and how I'm having fun. I just do it naturally and let it be a part of my life."
Sara Sampaio
"This past week was not very normal. I don't do this all year long, but because of the show I did on Monday weight training. A lot of booty and heavy weights. The next day I might do Mile High Run Club for cardio in a running class. Then, the next day I'll work with my trainer Joe Holder and do more resistance training, a lot of ab work, and then cardio the day after, and then weight training. The day before the show I don't workout so my body feels well-rested."
Lameka Fox
"I usually workout two to three times a week, I don't want to overdo it because I naturally am pretty small. I want to stay toned so I do some interval training, I really like Pilates. I went to a new place, New York Pilates."
Josephine Skriver
"I workout three to five times a week depending on travel. I love to use bodyweight. One day will be all about the butt, next day will be all about abs, then upper body, then rotating. I like to three days, then one day off, three days, then one day off."
Kelsey Merritt
"The past few months I've been working out everyday-and sometimes twice a day. This past week I did pilates, if I feel good then I'll do 30 minutes of cardio. I always make sure to put cardio in my workouts. I'll do SoulCycle, then I'll go on the treadmill. I will do strength training with a personal trainer at Dogpound. I do boxing sometimes, too!"
Duckie Thot
"I love to run. Running is great. I'll do boxing in the morning then run over a bridge and back which is a good five miles. Then, I have a mat and leg weights at home. I keep it light and easy."
Lais Ribeiro
"I like to switch it up, I like to do weight training, I'll do pilates, yoga, and I normally workout about five days a week. so I'll switch it off between those days. Weight training is my favorite, I love to build shape on my body. I'm a little bit on the smaller side, so I try and build up my butt."
Jourdana Phillips
"One week of workouts includes a lot of weight lifting because I try to keep weight on because I'm naturally really thin. A lot of leg lifts with ankle weights. A lot of stretching and a lot of resistance band workouts. And that's about it-a.whole lot of that!"
Candice Swanepoel
"I'll do one day on, and one day off, one hour a day. I'll do resistance training, running on the beach, lots of squats! I do boxing. Some days, if I'm tired, I'll do yoga or more exercises where I get to lay on my side."
Kendall Jenner
"I go to Gunnar Peterson, he's the best and I've been working out with him forever religiously, and then I also do boxing, so I'm kind of in and out of both. I like hot yoga. I like things that will make me sweat.
