Doutzen Kroes in Cute Workout Gear Says “I Love Dancing”

Dutch model Doutzen Kroes is happiest on the dance floor with her friends, getting a solid workout while having fun. Kroes, 39, shared a picture of herself wearing an orange shirt and black workout pants, flashing the peace sign. “I love dancing. It’s like my therapy being in class dancing while letting go, out of the mind and into the body and enjoying the flow!” she captioned the post. Here’s what Kroes’s fitness and wellness routine looks like.

1. Dancing Workouts

Kroes developed a love for dance-based workouts aftering dancing in a lingerie campaign. “I was luckily introduced to Vincent Vianen who is an amazing dancer and choreographer,” she told Vogue France. “When I was asked to shoot lingerie while dancing, it was something where I was really faced with my own insecurities. I am going to continue to dance because I am going to be the first one on the dance floor now. One of the most important things Vincent taught me was to let go and to not think because I overthink and when you dance you have to let go, enjoy the music and really feel it. It's really fun to bring the best out of yourself and compete with yourself and it's getting better and better."

2. Ballet and Pilates

Kroes swears by ballet workouts and Pilates for a strong core and long, lean muscles. “When I come to New York, I always try to see Mary Helen Bowers because I love to do my ballet exercises with her. When I do Ballet Beautiful, I feel muscles the day after that I didn't even know I had. It lengthens my body and changes my posture,” she told Vogue France. "[Pilates] strengthens my core and because of that I feel very strong and it changed my posture. Pilates is so much harder than it looks and something Cheryl always tells me is that I have to make it look like it's easy."

3. Organic Produce

Organic fruits and vegetables make up a huge part of Kroes’s diet. “Every morning I mix an orange, grapefruit, and lemon with wheatgrass or green powder in the blender,” she told Vogue. “I make it for my son and husband. It’s very sour. It doesn’t taste good at all, but I do it because it’s healthy. My mom grows wheatgrass in her garden and my son goes there and he chews on it and thinks it’s gum! Kids are amazing—you can teach them anything and they’ll eat anything. Of course every kid is different. My son didn’t have any sugar until he was 3 years old. Growing up, my mom gave me really healthy food. Everything was fresh from the garden and organic before the organic hype. I still eat mostly organic food.”

4. Wonder Woman Role

Kroes was thrilled to play Amazon warrior Venelia in Wonder Woman. "I was a fan of Wonder Woman growing up—I loved the fact that she was as strong and as smart as Superman," she told Glamour. "I was able to do my own riding, and had several weeks of combat and weapons training for the scenes on the beach. I've always ridden horses, but learning to handle a sword at a full gallop was pretty intense. But I loved every minute of it!"

5. Beauty From Within

Kroes believes beauty and happiness are one and the same. “It sounds so clichéd but it definitely chimes from within,” she told Harper's Bazaar UK. You can put as much make-up on as you want, and hide certain things, but it’s cyclical. So, when you have gratitude and feel good, make-up emphasizes how you feel already. I see products as a tool to look even better and then because you look even better then you feel even better – it’s a positive circle... I’m discovering by practicing gratitude - that when you feel grateful and find that in the smallest of moments you then find it over and over again. You feel happier and happier and happier – because you continue to find it everywhere. It’s a really nice way of living.”

Doutzen Kroes is focusing on her health – in her swimsuit. The supermodel shows off her beautiful body in a black bathing suit in one of her latest social media posts, enjoying a health retreat with friends. “A week of healthy eating, cold dipping in the incredible lake Altaussee, enjoying the stunning landscape, laughing with friends and reconnecting with my body thanks to @mayrlife_official and the incredible team for a holistic approach to get to know my body better and rejuvenate,” she captioned the post. “In the second slide you see a Dandelion Coffee that I drank for the first time and I love how close the taste was to a regular espresso plus all the incredible health benefits! Besides all the detoxifying properties, dandelion root helps in reducing inflammation, aiding constipation as well as having prebiotic properties that support a healthy gut.” How does she stay so fit?

1. She Does Ballet

Doutzen’s favorite exercise class is Ballet Beautiful with Mary Helen Bowers, which she does three times a week. “It keeps everything tight. I’ve worked out with her for two years and I really like the results,” she told Vogue. “I used to always box and run, and with boxing, I would build a lot of muscle. After I had my son [Phyllon, age 3½], I started doing ballet. It makes you long and lean—it’s like the Pilates look.”

2. She Sucks in Her Stomach

"One thing that I’ve always done since I was younger is suck in my stomach,” Doutzen told Vogue about a fitness trick. “I think that gave me [ab] muscles. I don’t even think about it—like when you sit in a car, use your core to sit up straight. You can work out sitting in a car! I did leg and butt exercises during my pregnancy, but I haven’t done anything since I had my baby because I don’t want to damage my stomach muscles. It’s better to wait a while.”

3. She Starts the Day with a Healthy Drink

“Every morning I mix an orange, grapefruit, and lemon with wheatgrass or green powder in the blender,” Doutzen revealed to Vogue. “”It’s very sour. It doesn’t taste good at all, but I do it because it’s healthy.” She added that healthy eating was instilled in her as a child. “Growing up, my mom gave me really healthy food. Everything was fresh from the garden and organic before the organic hype. I still eat mostly organic food.”

4. She Drinks Juice

Doutzen also juices. “I love Juice Press because they have some juices that actually taste good. I like to order at night and get it in the morning, then I don’t have to press anything myself,” she said.

5. This Is What She Eats in a Day

Doutzen starts the morning with green juice, eggs, and avocado, and ends her day with fish and greens. For lunch she usually has a salad, or a salad and fries to “mix it up a little bit,” she told Byrdie. She always brings healthy snacks with her. “I always like to have mixed raw nuts with me for when I get hungry—especially when I was pregnant I was scared I wasn’t getting enough—or a banana.”

Daphne Groeneveld is heating up the South Pacific!

1. She Loves Breakfast

Daphne dished to Marie Claire that she doesn’t like to skip her first meal of the day. “For breakfast I eat yogurt with muesli and apple,” she said. Another favorite meal? “All kind of Italian food!” she added. "Probiotics are foods or supplements that contain live microorganisms intended to maintain or improve the "good" bacteria (normal microflora) in the body. Prebiotics are foods (typically high-fiber foods) that act as food for human microflora. Prebiotics are used with the intention of improving the balance of these microorganisms," says the Mayo Clinic. "Probiotics are in foods such as yogurt and sauerkraut. Prebiotics are in foods such as whole grains, bananas, greens, onions, garlic, soybeans and artichokes. In addition, probiotics and prebiotics are added to some foods and available as dietary supplements."

2. Nutrition Is Her “Passion”

Eating healthy isn’t a chore for Daphne. “Nutrition is a passion—reading about health is fascinating,” she said during an interview with The Daily. “I also love discovering new hot spots and watching documentaries about food.”

3. She Works Out Five Times a Week

If you want a body like Daphne’s, you are going to have to sweat – a lot – for it. “I work out five times a week,” she told The Daily. “I like running outside but also like to lift weights in the gym. For classes, I’ll go to SLT, Rumble, SoulCycle, or take Pilates.”

4. She Also Dances, Skis, Does Ballet, and Works Out with a Trainer

Daphne enlists the help of a professional. “I have a trainer right now, someone to tell me what to do. I kind of need that, I guess,” she told W. But that isn’t all. “I like boxing a lot. I also do ballet. I used to do ballet when I was a kid. I wasn’t good at it, but I liked it. I played field hockey also. I run, too. I used to ski, but I’m scared a little bit since I became a model. I don’t want to break something!” Another one of her go-to workouts? P.volve.

5. She Hikes

Daphne also likes to get outdoors and take a hike. She posted this gorgeous photo from a trip to Montana. "I always look for opportunities to take my workouts outdoors, and one of my favorite places to go is Mission Trails Regional Park. There are so many great hiking trails there and I love being surrounded by nature, so I'll often head out for an hour or two hike with my two dogs....Every time I make it to the top it always gives me such an amazing feeling, as I love just being able to take in all of the beautiful sights," says Jessica, an Exercise Physiologist in ACE Fitness.

Louise Redknapp is letting fans see what her live performance dance rehearsals look like. Redknapp, 49, shared a video of herself wearing black pants and a white shirt, going through a routine with her team. “A little look behind the scenes at Mighty Hoopla rehearsals 🤍 been having so much fun putting this show together for you! See you at 6.40pm this Sunday xxx,” she captioned the post. “How does she still look soooo amazing 😍🔥,” a fan commented. Here’s how the British singer stays fit, happy, and full of energy.

1. She Loves Pilates

Redknapp enjoys Pilates workouts on the reformer machine. "I love Pilates on the tower or on the reformer just because it's quick and it feels like a proper workout,” she told HELLO!. “One of my best friends is a pilates instructor so get through the whole hour. I think that's why I love it so much because I just lie there, my legs in straps doing an exercise and we're chatting away so it's lovely, just a nice thing to go and do."

2. Peloton and Love Island

Redknapp likes to ride her stationary bike while watching TV. “I've got a Peloton at home,” she told HELLO!. “I watch Love Island and go for a bike ride in the lounge, [people] must be looking [at me] like 'what was she doing?' If I've got a night in, I get on the Peloton, bike ride, do a few situps, then I'm done.”

3. Natural Beauty

Redknapp credits her preference for a natural look for her glowing skin. “I think it has something to do with the make-up I wear and the products I put on my skin,” she told Women’s Fitness. “I have always used quite a dewy base on my face which perhaps gives it a slight shine. I prefer a natural look to a full-on face of glam make-up.”

4. Grounded Life

Redknapp says she lives a very grounded life. “I am very aware I have had an amazing life and a great career, which has not come easy and has required a lot of hard work,” she told Women’s Fitness. “As long as I surround myself with the right people, I am OK. My two sons are my absolute world. The media speculate why I am not out there in the papers being photographed dating or with a new man on my arm, but I have not chosen to take that path. My priority is and always will be to be the best mum I can to my kids, who are my pride and joy.”

5. Not a Gym Bunny

Redknapp is not always motivated to work out. “If someone said to me, 'do you want to meet for a drink and a bit of dinner on Tuesday night or go to the gym?' I mean, I'm always going to meet my mate for dinner,” she told HELLO!. “The gym is not at the front of my priorities. I'm not a big gym bunny… I'd love to do yoga but after about three minutes I start thinking about all the other things I should be doing rather than sitting in this position and thinking I haven't got time for this today.”

Michelle Jenneke is a track and field athlete known for doing the hurdles. Jenneke has even competed in the Olympics. She also recently competed in Finland, and shared some highlights from the day on Instagram. Jenneke captioned the post, “Season best of 12.69 tonight at the @kuortanegames 😆 Great night with solid races from the Aussie contingent! Thank you Finland!!!” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Michelle Jenneke stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Does A Variety Of Workouts

Jenneke shared some of her favorite workouts with Body & Soul. She says that she does a variety of different things. “It’s a lot of heavy weights there, plus full body exercises and quite a bit of plyometric [exercises]. I start with heavy weights, and then I’ll do some lighter functional circuit, towards the end. All up, that takes an hour and a half to two hours… and sometimes when I finish a session I just lie on the ground.”

2. She Eats A Healthy Breakfast

Jenneke also shared her diet secrets with Body & Soul. She shared her favorite breakfasts for training day. “It really depends on what my training day looks like, but if I’ve got training in the morning (which I often do at the moment) I’ll have cereal generally before I go out and train. Then, I actually love having a Milo after a hard session – it’s got good levels of protein and iron in it – and then I make myself a second breakfast, which could be muesli with yoghurt or bacon and eggs.”

3. She Dances

Jenneke likes to dance before a meet. "The dancing preparation is good," Jenneke said to The New Zealand Herald. "People see me doing a dance on the track and it's part of my enjoyment ... I love being there and I love racing and that's how I express that. If you watch me during my warm up I'm dancing the whole way through it. I've always got music playing and I'm just really getting into it, it's how I pump myself up for the race."

4. She Swims

Jenneke loves to swim to stay in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself snorkeling in the ocean. Jenneke captioned the post, “A little taste of my amazing holiday in the Whitsundays last week 🌴⛵️ @suncoastcharters @hamiltonisland #gopro 🎶 Born To Be Yours - Kygo & Imagine Dragons.”

She Trains Consistently

Jenneke shared her training secrets with Body & Soul. She says that consistency is important. “I do three track sessions a week, and they can be from 2-3 hours each, which can be full on. You do some warm up, a hurdle session, and then a sprint session after that.”
