Devon Windsor is strutting her stuff poolside – in her swimsuit. In a few recent social media posts the model and bathing suit designer shows off her incredible body in one of her own designs, a baby blue two-piece, as she vacations in the tropics. “Wanderlust,” she captioned one of the posts. “So gorgeous and strong!” commented one of her followers. “Cute,” added another. How does the model maintain her fit physique? Celebwell has all the details on her lifestyle habits.
1. Not Starving Herself
Devon maintains that supermodels don’t starve themselves. “If I’m not working, my typical day starts off with a huge breakfast. I like to incorporate eggs, toast, bacon or a smoothie with Greek yogurt,” she dished to Women Fitness. “I’ll most likely workout after breakfast and then join friends for lunch. Following lunch, I run errands and organize myself before my next job or travel day. I like to finish my day with a cozy dinner with friends or I cook for myself at home. If I’m working, I wake up and get a smoothie and head to set and work all day. Depending on when I get off, I either go home and order dinner or meet up with friends.”
2. Pilates
“I’m a huge fan of Pilates – I like to do that a couple times a week,” Devon told Women Fitness. According to research, Pilates exercises are designed to increase muscle strength, endurance, and flexibility, and to improve posture and balance. Experts maintain that it is a great workout for leaning out.
3. Hydration
Devon prioritizes hydration. “Drink a lot of water while you workout,” she told Women Fitness. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is important for a variety of reasons. Water helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.
4. Dancing and Stretching
Devon is a fan of Megan Roup’s dance-inspired workouts. “I am so terrible at cardio but this class is amazing because it’s dance cardio… which means I really don’t notice how exhausted I am while jumping around! She mixes the dance cardio with light weights, leg weights and sliders which are good for the booty as well as the abs! After the class I head over to this place called Lymbr to go get a quick 30 minute stretch. It is super important to stretch before and after workouts so that you don’t injure yourself!” she revealed to Hollywood Life. “Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong, and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints,” says Harvard Health. “Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are weak and unable to extend all the way. That puts you at risk for joint pain, strains, and muscle damage.”
5. Pvolve
Pvolve workouts are also part of Devon’s routine. “I really love this workout because it is full of small, slow movements that burn like crazy! This is the best workout for building super long and lean muscle! We use a lot of ankle weights and bands which are two keys for staying strong and slim! After my workout I get a 90 minute medical massage! This massage isn’t just for relaxing because the masseuse gets very deep in your muscles and stretches you at the same time. It is almost a bit painful at times but when you’re working out so much it is a necessity!” she told Hollywood Life.
6. Strength Training
Devon also does weight and strength training. She told Elle she likes to “mix cardio with bodyweight exercises,” she said. She trains at the celebrity gym mecca The Dogpound. “I am training with my girlfriend and my trainer, Kirk! I love working out with friends because one, it’s more fun, two, it’s hard to get out of it, and three, it’s more motivating and pushes me to try harder! We did a bunch of body weight exercises, some abs, booty, legs and light arms,” she added to Hollywood Life.
