Kate Upton In Workout Gear “Had So Much Fun” For Miami Cover Shoot

Kate Upton is giving fans a look at her recent cover of V Magazine with Candice Swanepoel and Daiane Sodre. Upton, 32, shared a picture of the cover where she’s wearing black one-piece Alo Yoga gear, posing with exercise rings. “Had so much fun in Miami shooting the cover of this month’s @vmagazine with some bombshells 💘,” she captioned the post. Here’s how the model and busy mother stays fit and healthy.

1. 30-Minute Workout Sessions

Upton developed her own method of exercise called Strong4Me. “Strong4Me is an at-home fitness program that I created with Ben Bruno that can be achieved in under 30 minutes a day, at home or on the go with minimal equipment,” she told New Beauty. “I like Strong4Me because there’s a big difference between energizing routines vs. energy-suck routines. Doing these quick, efficient workouts consistently provides the added strength and energy I have needed to keep up with my 2-year old during quarantine. This has been more helpful than I could have imagined, and I hope others have found it helpful as well.”

2. Comfortable Style

Upton prioritizes comfort when it comes to her personal style. “I am a function [over fashion] girl for sure,” she told People. “Living in New York and being a mom [Upton shares daughter Genevieve, 5, with husband Justin Verlander], I need to not get the blisters and feel comfortable and confident. When you feel confident in your clothes it shows.”

3. World Travel

Upton is grateful for the opportunities she got from working at a young age. “Growing up in Florida, I was always outside and lived a very active lifestyle along with my three siblings,” she told New Beauty. “We were always horseback riding, at the beach or playing outside. When I started modeling at 15, I wanted to explore the world, and the fashion industry was an amazing way to accomplish that. Starting any career at that young of an age completely shaped the person I am today.”

4. Inspiring Women

Upton is philosophical about the body shaming she endured at the start of her career. “I have to thank the people who did that because it really made me sit back and find out who I was and what meant something to me and how I thought about my body,” she told Harper’s Bazaar. “They lashed out on me because they felt insecure about themselves. “I realize that the confidence I had in my body was actually meant to inspire women to love themselves for all their different flaws.”

5. No Filter

Upton is not a fan of the Facetune beauty trend. “I guess this is more on the social media side, but I wish the Facetune trend of altering your appearance in photos would go away,” she told New Beauty. “It ultimately leads to young girls wanting to look like their Facetune-selves rather than their true selves.”
