Cindy Crawford in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shares "Lifestyle" Workouts

Cindy Crawford is 57 and shows no signs of slowing down when it comes to looking and feeling her absolute best. The supermodel shared a social media reel of herself working out over the years, wearing both old-school leotards and modern gym wear. “It’s not a resolution, it’s a lifestyle 🤍🧘🏻‍♀️💪🏼🏃🏻‍♀️🏋🏻‍♀️,” she captioned the reel. Crawford is a strong proponent of consistency over unrealistic goals—here’s how she takes care of her health and wellness, and what she thinks about the resurgence of 90s style.

1. Health and Wellness Philosophy

Crawford’s fitness and wellness regimen is all about consistency over fad diets and workouts. “Setting realistic goals and having consistency over time is what you notice over the years,” she tells The Cut. “With food, I try to be 80 percent good, 80 percent of the time. I’m not going to say I work out every day; I try to work out three to four days a week, and some weeks I don’t even get that. Someone got me on to tongue scraping; you have to do it first thing in the morning, don’t even drink water. I do my tongue scraping, my dry brushing. I do the sauna and then I’ll do the cold plunge maybe once a week because I hate being cold. My husband goes in for three minutes, but you feel like an endorphin rush after you do the hot and the cold.”

2. Morning Routine

Crawford starts her day in the jacuzzi, watching the sunrise before having breakfast with her family. “We all meet in the kitchen for our breakfast drink of choice,” she tells Molly Sims. “I recently switched to the Foursigmatic Coffee (I actually think I heard about it from Molly’s Instagram!). It’s a nice substitution for the very strong coffee my husband makes. If I don’t have coffee before my workout, I usually make a shake. I use almond milk, ¼ banana, a cup of spinach, fresh mint, Ladder Vanilla protein, and a handful of cacao nibs. I try to catch the first 5 minutes of CBS This Morning. I love the segment called ‘your world in 90 seconds.’ We use this time to talk about what’s going on in our lives that day. Then I head down to the gym for either Pilates or Circuit training with cardio intervals with trainer Sarah Hagaman.”

3. 90s Beauty Resurgence

Crawford was a 90s supermodel, so the resurgence in 90s-style fashion and beauty doesn’t faze her. “Makeup artist Hung Vanngo always says, ‘Oh, you ’90s girls, you love blush.’ Women do tend to resonate with when they first started experimenting with hair and makeup; that’s their comfort zone,” she tells The Cut. “I try not to get too stuck, but at the same time, I know what I’m comfortable with. I pulled out my Velcro rollers again a few weeks ago because I wanted that style that only Velcro rollers can do. My husband’s like, “I haven’t seen those in a while.” I always liked that kind of hair.”

4. Supplements and Retinol

Crawford uses supplements to help support her wellness needs. “I am a big fan of retinol—especially for cell turnover,” she tells W Magazine. “The Meaningful Beauty Age Recovery Night Crème contains both Retinol and our Melon Extract. Dr. Sebagh helped educate me that nighttime is the perfect opportunity to rest and repair your skin. I do take several vitamins and supplements under the direction of my doctor for things like joint health, etc. I am excited that Meaningful Beauty is coming out with our first supplement this Spring called ‘Beauty Sleep.’ This supplement will support both better sleep and your skin by increasing hydration and elasticity.”

5. Skincare Secrets

Crawford’s skincare—for both body and face—is all about preventative care. “Neutrogena has a body oil that I put on sometimes, and that totally reminds me of being 25 years old in New York,” she tells The Cut. “My skin needs have changed. My workouts have evolved. We evolve. I’ve liked dry brushing for a long time. I started in my 20s and I’m more religious about it now than ever... Skin really is all about stuff that we know but just doing it. I always say put on sunscreen; that’s why our [Meaningful Beauty] moisturizer has SPF in it, you don’t even have to think about it you’re covered. I wear a hat, I don’t smoke, and I try to drink enough water. Consistency over time makes the biggest difference.”

Cindy Crawford is 55 and just as fit as she was during her heyday as one of the top supermodels in the world. Over the weekend she provided evidence to her fans on social media that she is still in sensational shape. “Poolside,” she captioned an image of herself lounging in a one-shoulder swimsuit on an oceanfront pool deck. “Soaking it in.” How does she manage to make 55 look like 25?

1. She Works Out Three Times a Week

Cindy doesn’t workout every day of the week. “I work out with my trainer, Sarah Hagaman, three mornings a week. We do circuit training for the whole body using weights, some machines, and my own body weight with lunges and squats. We usually do about 10 minutes of weights and then a five-minute cardio segment. Right now we are into running stairs, but we switch it up. We repeat the 10-minute weight and five-minute cardio at least three times and then we finish up with abs and stretching,” she told Shape. “If I can squeeze in a hike or bike ride with my husband or a girlfriend during the week, that's just a bonus!”

2. Her Secret Trick to Cardio? Entertainment

Crawford told The Cut that she keeps herself entertained while she does cardio. “I put on an audiobook or music while I run the stairs at my house for 20 minutes. I just finished the Amy Schumer one, which was fantastic."

3. She Like Exercising with Friends

She is also a fan of group fitness, and regularly takes S Factor pole dancing studio in LA. "[It's] so much fun to do with a group of friends," she told InStyle. "They keep it really dark, so it's almost impossible to feel embarrassed." Hiking with a pal is also her jam. "Once a week, I try to go on a hike with a friend so I combine exercise and girlfriend time—it's the best multitasking," she told The Cut.

4. She Schedules Workout Time

Cindy doesn’t skip a workout, because she has them built into her schedule. "I think having a scheduled appointment works for me. That way, I don't really have to think about it," she told Shape.

5. Her Diet Is Clean

Cindy stays away from processed food and keeps her diet focused around wholefoods instead. "Diet-wise, I don't eat crap, and I don't eat a lot of packaged foods," she said in an interview with Into The Gloss. "On a typical weekday I usually have a protein shake for breakfast because it's fast—I need to get the kids out the door… For lunch I'll have salad, sometimes with chicken, sometimes without. For dinner we'll go for sushi, or if we eat at home I'll try to make a meal like turkey meatballs with pasta, a salad, and a vegetable."

6. She Drinks a Lot of Water

Cindy makes hydration a priority. “I also drink three bottles of water during the day, except for when I’m on location, as the bathroom could be 10 minutes away,” she told Harper’s Bazaar. Other go-to beverages include green tea, green tea lattes, and a shake she makes at home with a cup of almond milk, a cup of spinach, a handful of fresh mint, two scoops of Billy Merritt’s Infinity Greens, and protein powder.

Cindy Crawford is preparing for the weekend with a solid at-home workout. Crawford, 58, shared a picture of herself looking typically fabulous in black leggings and a crop tank top, posing in her gym while surrounded by weights and equipment. “Warming up for the long weekend 💪🏼,” she captioned the post. “Crawford, in all her realness. For those who say she doesn’t post her authentic self. She still fine. Take notes and how many of you work out like that everyday. Let’s go!!!” a fan commented. Here’s how the supermodel and entrepreneur stays iconic in her 50s.

1. She’s a Girl’s Girl

Crawford cherishes her female friendships. “We build each other up,” she told Vanity Fair. “I think that is so important. So much of my career—especially my own projects, like Meaningful Beauty, but before that my workout videos—has been about sharing with women. Like, ‘Hey, this works for me! Maybe you don’t live in New York or a private trainer is too expensive, but I’m going to share Radu with you. I’m going to share Dr. Sebagh with you.’ That’s important to me, but I also think people know that it’s authentic.”

2. Protecting the Blowout

Crawford has a haircare hack for workouts. "I've realized if I want to preserve my blow-dry during spinning, I have to pin my hair up in a bun on the top of my head,” she told Allure. “Then the sweat only gets in the roots—I've convinced myself that sweat is an excellent root volumizer! Otherwise, if you leave your hair down, your blow-dry gets trashed. I also sleep with my hair up like this. It's all about preserving that blow-dry!"

3. I Didn’t Wake Up Like This

Crawford is honest about the effort it takes to look like herself. “I think more than once I said something like, ‘Even I don't wake up looking like Cindy Crawford.’ Cindy Crawford is a creation,” she told Vanity Fair. “It’s essentially me, but there’s definitely help. I’m so lucky, I get to sit in a makeup chair—and that’s why I never did a makeup line, per se, because most of the time in my professional life, someone else was doing it. Skin care was my job, though. Taking care of my skin so that I had a great palette or a clean slate for the makeup artist, I did feel like that was part of my job.”

4. Hair Parting Rules

Crawford isn’t interested in TikTok beauty restrictions, such as the middle part for hair. “Obviously I didn’t get the memo!” she told Vanity Fair. “I don’t think there are any rules to anything. Like gray hair, or having long hair at a certain age. As long as you feel comfortable, it’s not really anyone else’s business, is it?”

5. SoulCycle and Hiking

Crawford keeps her workouts interesting. "I work out three to four times a week,” she told Allure. “My core exercise is still like what I did in my exercise videos with Radu. I'd say that's 70 percent of what I do. I have a trainer out here in L.A., and we do free weights and cardio at my home gym. Then I like to mix it up—bike riding with my family, hiking with a girlfriend, or taking a SoulCycle class with friends."
