Chanel Iman is not the type to just sit back and relax when she’s in the Caribbean. Iman, 34, shared a video of herself wearing black two-piece workout gear, hitting the treadmill and sparring with a boxing coach as part of her training regimen. “Training in the Bahamas 🇧🇸 Soaking up the Bahamian sun and recharging at @ChampionSpiritCountryClub 🥊Loving every second of this in paradise 🌴 #ChampionSpirit,” she captioned the post. Here’s how the model stays fit, strong, and happy.
She's a Runner
Iman worked hard to get fit after having her babies. “After having two kids back to back, that’s something I’ve struggled with,” she told W Magazine. “During the pandemic, I was working out because that was the only thing I could do to stay sane. I love running, and that also helped me to have a clear mind. It’s not really so much about my weight, it’s more so about tightening my skin. I don’t mind being a little bit bigger, it’s just that I want my skin to be nice and toned.”
Self-Care and Alone Time
Iman’s favorite form of self-care is taking some time to herself. “ I like to write, so I always write down my thoughts and everything that’s going on in my life in my journal,” she told W Magazine. “That really helps me mentally. And talking to someone as well—I always think everybody needs someone to talk to.”

Iman keeps a pack of Oreo Thins in her purse for a quick treat on the go. “Sometimes you just get that craving for something sweet, and this satisfies it,” she told New York Magazine. “I’ll often just grab one just to get my fix. I’ll also eat more for a full-on snack and sometimes add it to ice cream for my own cookie-and-cream mix. But, I like the option of having something that’s not so heavy when I just need to get that craving out.”
Lots of Water
Iman admits she should take more vitamins as part of her health and wellness routine. “I’m trying my hardest to drink lots of water this year, and I want to get in better shape and tighten and tone my body,” she told W Magazine. “So I’ve cut back on a lot of sugars and juices and I’m just trying to stay focused on my goal.”
Lululemon Workout Gear
Iman swears by the Lululemon Align High-Rise Pant With Pockets. “I love these to work out in, but I also just wear them all the time,” she told New York Magazine. “I’m a mom on the go, and pockets are a must. These Lululemon yoga pants have pockets, so I can carry my phone and things like pacifiers while I multitask with my kids. It keeps me hands-free. The cut is also just flattering. It’s high waisted, snatches me in, and keeps everything feeling secured.”
