Cindy Crawford In Workout Gear Shares “Olympics Training Season Inspo”

Cindy Crawford is such an ageless queen that when she posts a throwback photo you have to double check to make sure it’s not a recent snap. Crawford, 58, shared a picture of herself wearing orange workout pants and a white tank top, holding dumbbells in each hand. “@olympics training szn inspo 🏋️‍♀️ @teamusa @gilles_bensimon,” she captioned the post. “You look more team 🇨🇦♥️,” commented Linda Evangelista. Crawford is not training for the Olympics but she still looks incredible—here’s how she does it.

1. Infrared Sauna Sessions

Crawford uses an infrared sauna for health, beauty, and good sleep. “I try to go into an infrared sauna for 20 minutes at least once a week,” she told Into the Gloss. “Before I invested in my own, I just went to a local tanning salon that also had an infrared sauna—my homeopathic doctor suggested I get one because it’s good for detoxing. It’s not like a normal sauna, which can be harsh. Instead, infrared is a super gentle, soothing, and therapeutic heat that helps me relax and improves my sleep (and we all know how much I value sleep).”

2. Dry Brushing

Crawford swears by dry brushing for health and beauty. “I love using a dry brush before I bathe or shower,” she told Into the Gloss. “On dry skin, I use the brush all over my body, always brushing toward my heart. Not only do you brush off dead skin, you invigorate your body, stimulate your lymphatic system, reduce cellulite, and decongest your skin (talk about a miracle tool). After I shower but before I dry off, I use Neutrogena Body Oil all over. I let it soak in for a few seconds before drying myself with a towel.”

3. Silk Pillowcase

Crawford is more careful about her hair these days, using a silk pillowcase to protect it. “I definitely try not to wash my hair every day, and I also try to treat it kindly,” she told Violet Grey. “I usually sleep with my hair pinned up in a loose topknot to keep it from getting frizzy. When I take it down in the morning, it usually has good volume. I smooth whatever I need to and then am good to go. If not, I pull it back in a ponytail.”

4. Self-Care Spa Days

Crawford enjoys the occasional spa day. “Beauty, to me, is really about two things: confidence and passion,” she told Into the Gloss. “It's the way you carry yourself, trusting that what you have to say is interesting, being engaged, and having that spark of excitement in your eye. That’s beautiful. But, with that said, I love a good spa day and a hair mask as much as the next person.”

5. Early Morning Workouts

Crawford gets her workout out of the way first thing in the morning. “My favorite time to work out is right when I wake up,” she told Violet Grey. “In fact, I haven’t been working out with a trainer for the past few months because I prefer to just roll out of bed and go straight into the gym. I’m usually done before anyone else in my family is even up.”

Lindsey Vonn is getting her sweat on – and flaunting her fit figure. In a new social media post the skier shows off her amazing body in a two-piece workout look while executing a workout at the gym. “Back on my @redbull grind and man, it feels good! Getting as strong as I can… think I might have a plan for the knee, but first I need to get,” she captioned the Instagram Reel. What exercises are helping her get strong and what other health habits does she practice? Here is everything you need to know.

1. Here Is Her Latest Workout

According to Kendra Gamble, HIT Fitness Training, Huntingdon Valley, PA, NPTI Certified Personal Trainer and Nutritional Consultant, Lindsey’s workout includes:

• Single leg hip thrust
• Standing abduction machine (can be done with a band)
• Lying hamstring curl
• Inverted row
• *Back extension
• *Side plank hip adduction
• TRX push up

2. She’s Training to Be “Lean and Fit” with Weight Training

Lindsey admits she has gotten "a lot leaner" after retiring from skiing. "I used to do things that were so sport specific, so I had to be bigger," she told New York Post's Alexa magazine. "But everyone is like, 'Oh my God, you're in the best shape of your life.' It's like — yes and no. I'm not training for my sport anymore, I am training to be lean and fit,” she said. She has dramatically decreased her body fat with the help of trainer Gunnar Peterson. "Different training. Different diet. Crazy!" Her workouts are no joke, and she trains three to four times a week. "Whatever you like doing is what you should be doing," she told Women’s Health. Her workouts are a combo of strength and weight training, using a lot of weighted balls, battle ropes, lifts, squats.

3. She Also Does Two Cardio Workouts a Week

Lindsey supplements her weight and strength training with two cardio workouts a week, but you won’t find her running on the treadmill. "I have a doctor's note that says I should never run again in my life, and I'm okay with that," she says. Instead she cycles or surfs.

4. She Also Walks After Dinner

"I have to go outside and walk the glucose off with my dog," Lindsey says about her post-dinner strolls. According to science, you should too. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day led to a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

5. Her Diet Is “Clean”

Lindsey no longer follows her “ski season” diet of “a lot of protein and carbs,” she told People. Phil Goglia revamped her diet when she retired, and it now involves a lot of water, eating clean food, and timing her meals. “I try not to eat too much in the morning before I work out,” she told Women’s Health. Post-workout Lindsey eats “egg white omelets with broccoli, chicken, and pepper, and stuff like that.” For lunch, she might have chicken or salmon with kale or cabbage. For dinner, her plate is filled with a mix of protein and veggies – like chicken salad with avocado or a zucchini pasta with bolognese meat sauce. Almonds, kiwis, and blueberries are go-to snacks. Overall she tries to eat a lot of plant-based foods. “Listen, the kitchen can be intimidating to anyone. But I’m here to tell you: You can do it. And with the new year, let’s do it better, together. I’ve got 14 places to help you start eating more plant-based foods,” she captioned a recent post, suggesting the Just Egg cookbook to her followers.

Maureen Blanquisco is modeling workout clothes. In a new social media post the IFBB contestant shows off her incredible body in a blue exercise set, driving her followers wild. “To all my baddies out there! This color makes your tan complexion POP,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “So gorgeous 🩷🥰” commented one. “OKKKAAAY SLAAY SLAAY,” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Swimming

When Maureen was younger she was a swimmer. “I always loved competing and performing. I usually call it “performing” instead of competing. Swimming was an individual sport. If I wanted to win, it all depended on me. I never liked depending on a team. If we lost because of them, I would get very frustrated,” she told Muscular Development.

2. Gymnastics and Cheerleading

She then moved on to gymnastics and cheerleading. “Cheerleading was fine until one time we fell during a stunt, and it wasn’t my fault. I said, I think I work better alone,” this is when she discovered weights. “I started lifting weights at age 18. That’s around the time you want to look and feel good, putting on makeup. I was doing fitness training anyway, so I started to look for something I could do competitively that fit that. I had always wanted to compete in beauty pageants, but at 5 feet tall I was too short. Then I saw the Bikini Olympia on YouTube, and the woman who stuck out to me the most was India Paulino. She was my first idol! I thought it looked so cool. The women looked amazing, and this was the closest thing to a beauty pageant I could do. I thought I could just go compete in the Olympia. I had no idea you have to turn pro first, then qualify, the whole long process. But in my head, I only had one goal, to go to the Olympia.”

3. Here Is How She Preps for Shows

“I started prepping for the Olympia right after the Boston Pro in March, so that was seven months. It was a very chill prep because I was eating clean, but I was eating more than ever in a prep. I was still dieting, but it was more calories, and I did have one cheat meal a week. Now I see this is the best approach for me: a longer prep but with more food,” Maureen said.

4. Her “Breaks” Involve Cardio

When she does go on vacation, she still exercises. “I did go on vacation to Hawaii with my partner the week after the Olympia. That was on my bucket list. I did cardio every day, but I took five days off from weights. I had a couple of treats, but nothing crazy,” she says.

5. She Doesn’t “Gain Too Much” During the Offseason

Marueen avoids overindulging in the off season. “I have a very clear mindset that if I gain too much, it will be a lot harder for me,” she told Muscle & Fitness. “In Bikini, it’s all about condition, and while you could be ‘too’ hard, you certainly can’t be soft, either.”

Cindy Crawford, the legendary model, is doing some light reading, and happens to know the author: fellow supermodel Claudia Schiffer. “Casual afternoon reading 📚👠 Congrats on the new book Captivate, @claudiaschiffer!” she captioned a photo of herself in a swimsuit perusing the pages. Schiffer’s book Captivate is a curation of fashion photography from the 1990s, the “golden age of the global supermodel.” How does Crawford look so fit? (She’s 56, turning 57 on February 20!) Read on to see 7 ways Cindy Crawford stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!

1. She Learned How to Be Healthy Out Of Necessity

“I was raised in DeKalb, Illinois, and while I didn’t grow up eating a lot of processed food, I wouldn’t exactly say we had a healthy diet—I thought all vegetables should be served with cheese melted on top. When I moved to New York and started living on my own, I realized that in order to fit in the sample sizes, I had to figure out how to take care of myself,” she told W. “It started with exercise.”

2. She’s 80% Good 80% of the Time

“Even though aerobics were the exercise of choice for most of my friends, I found a trainer in N.Y. named Radu. He taught me how to exercise and feel strong. I think when you are working out that hard, it’s natural to want to carry over that good feeling by eating healthy. I started reading books and sometimes following more 'fad' diets, but eventually I figured out what works for me. Besides avoiding “bad” carbs such as white bread etc., I try to be 80 percent good 80 percent of the time. I feel like that’s an achievable balance,” she told W.

3. She Does Pilates

Pilates works your core using a very specific sensibility and tools. Crawford does it a few times a week. “From small weights to bands and blocks to the ‘magic circle,’ a ring-shaped piece of equipment that offers a level of resistance for various exercises, there are a number of tools used for various Pilates exercises,” says the Cleveland Clinic. “Conversely, there are relatively few pieces of equipment that are necessary for yoga beyond the typical mat and yoga blocks. Other pieces of equipment, like yoga straps, are also occasionally used but the total amount is far less than with Pilates.”

4. She Does Strength Training

Muscles burn fat, so building your muscles is core to any lean figure. Want an example of strength training? As an example: "Consider adding a Step Up with biceps curl into shoulder press,” says Eat This, Not That! For Abs author Mark Langowski. “Grab a set of dumbbells that are 50% of your max weight for biceps curl or shoulder press. So if you use 30 lb’s to do biceps curls, use 15 lbs here! Stand holding the weights at your side, feet about a foot apart, with a bench or 2-foot-high box about two feet in front of you. Step onto the box with your right leg and, and as you step up, curl the weights up so they are in front of your shoulders. Now lift your left leg onto the box and, when both feet are on top of the box, press the weights over your head. Step down and repeat the exercise, now with your left leg stepping up. Total of 16 reps. (8 each leg)"

5. She Hits the Treadmill

"Begin by doing your workout on a treadmill. Over time, as you learn how your body reacts and what each level of intensity feels like, you can begin to take the workout outdoors or transfer it to a bike or other type of workout equipment," says Langowski. Consider the following intervals as you get your feet wet:

Duration: 0-3 minutes, speed 3.5, incline 8

Duration: 3-6 minutes, speed 6.5, incline 0

Duration: 6-7 minutes, speed 3.8, incline 15

Duration: 7-8 minutes, speed 7.5, incline 0

Duration: 8-10 minutes, speed 6.0, incline 3

Duration: 10-11 minutes, speed 3.8, incline 15

Duration: 11-12 minutes, speed 7.5, incline 0

Duration: 12-15 minutes, speed 3.8, incline 15

6. This is Her Skincare Routine

Crawford created the Meaningful Beauty line to care for her skin. “Part of the reason I created Meaningful Beauty was to have a simple skincare routine that I knew was giving me everything I needed. Nothing much has changed during these pandemic days. I always use the Youth Activating Melon Serum (and now eye serum) and then top off with Meaningful Beauty Anti-aging Day crème with Environmental Protection—this protects my skin from blue light exposure from all my Zoom calls) and of course an SPF of 30,” she told W.
