In 2017, the former Victoria’s Secret Angel told Harper's Bazzar that she really amps up her approach to health before a big show. "For breakfast I usually have eggs and/or avocado toast and after my work-out I usually grab a green juice followed by lunch where I usually have a salad along with some chicken or fish. For dinner I might go for sushi, or grill Brazilian BBQ at home," she said. She also revealed to Glamour that she has “a serious weakness for Japanese food,” especially sushi.

Alessandra is also a devoted yogi. "I love to do yoga as it centers me and also at the same time keeps me in shape," she told FOX News. No time for a class, no problem! "Since there is a lot to do around the house sometimes I don't have much time to work out, in which case I try to do some stretching and hold a plank for five to 10 minutes.”

4. She Also Does Weight Training

Jasmine Tookes shared her wellness secrets with Byrdie. She says that she likes making protein shakes. "Normally I wake up at 9 a.m. I’ll start out with a protein shake. I’m always working out, so I need to make sure I’m giving my muscles protein. I love to do banana, strawberries, plant protein powder, goji berries, cacao, and a little bit of almond milk."

Lais Ribeiro talked about her wellness journey with Byrdie. “I’m a lucky girl that I used to eat everything and nothing would happen and now because I’m getting older, I see the changes. Not because of my body but because of my health, especially with the coronavirus, your immune system...you need to boost it up. I’ve been doing sauna and ice because my fiancé is an athlete and he has such good habits. I also found this new underwater workout, XPT Life, where you put the weights under the water and you do squats, lunges, and jumps—it’s really good for your respiratory system.”

3. Sara Sampaio

Sara Sampaio shared her wellness secrets with HollywoodLife. She says that she does a variety of things to keep herself in shape. “I’ve been doing a little bit of everything. I’ve been doing some cardio classes, especially when I’m in LA and then I’ll do resistance training or weight training, mixed with a little bit of cardio. Sometimes I’ll go to pilates, I just try to do a little bit of everything.”

4. Josephine Skriver

Josephine Skriver shared some of her workout secrets with Vogue. In it, she said that she got some advice from her fellow Victoria’s Secret Angel. “Jasmine Tookes got me into lifting weights. I had never seen my body change so quickly. I like to train and lift weights three to five days a week as I find it the best stress release or go for a boxing session. I used to go to an authentic boxing gym but I just want to sweat and get boxing fitness so now I see a friend if I’m in Nashville or I go to Dogpound in New York. When I travel I always ask if I can stay in a hotel with a gym but if they don’t have one I just train in my room and do chair dips and do exercise with my body weight. I travel with my ankle cables and resistance bands so that I can do something.”

5. Elsa Hosk

Elsa Hosk talked about how she eats before a show to ELLE. “I think it’s really all about balance. I try to stay away from processed food and eat organic with lots of vegetables and really nourishing foods to keep me strong. You have to eat properly to do the show because it’s a lot of energy—and the runway is long!”

6. Karlie Kloss

In an interview with Byrdie, Karlie Kloss talked about how her diet evolved. “I really learned and got excited about baking and cooking with healthy ingredients, fresh ingredients, a more balanced diet of vegetables and protein, and learning what it means to actually eat clean. In doing so, I not only feel better in my body and more confident in my body, but I also have so much more energy. That has been a whole other education.”

7. Candice Swanepoel

In an interview with Allure, Candice Swanepoel is one of many models who shares how they prepare for the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. “I do a lot of resistance training, weights, yoga, and Pilates. I eat what I usually eat, maybe even a little bit more, because I'm tired from working out, but I eat clean."

8. Heidi Klum

Heidi Klum tells Glamour that her wellness is a year-round thing. “I pretend it's bikini season all year and regularly make healthy decisions. My favorite workout is a long run along the Westside Highway, which stretches along the Hudson River in New York City...it's a beautiful path, and you always feel surrounded by such an amazing community. You see the same people running every morning, and they inspire me to keep going. That and knowing there is a Starbucks coffee at the end of the route!”

9. Martha Hunt

Martha Hunt makes sure to eat healthy. She shared some of her favorite foods with Bonberi.com. “I love salmon and kale because those are healthy fats and protein. Sweet potatoes are delicious. I love that Hu Kitchen does a healthy version of the chicken tenders. And I love smoothies.”

Alessandra Ambrosio shared her Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show prep with Allure. “I started three months ago trying to work out every day. I do different things—Pilates, barre, Physique 57 yoga, outside sports, all kinds of things. The last week, I do eat differently, yes. I cut the carbs and the sugar, and I eat protein, but I don't know whether cheese is considered a carb. I could never survive without cheese.”

11. Lily Aldridge

Lily Aldridge also shared her fashion show prep with Allure. “About two months in advance, I'll start amping up my workouts and changing my diet slightly,” she says. “And I'll go to two workouts a day. I'll do Ballet Beautiful and Pilates—it just depends on which city I'm in. In Nashville, I'll do Pilates, and here, I do Ballet Beautiful. I eat a lot of protein and vegetables. I love to make myself roast chicken. And I feel good now. I feel confident and ready for the runway."

12. Taylor Hill

Taylor Hill tells Harper’s Bazaar that she works with trainer Lauren Duhamel to keep herself in shape. “We do a lot of muscle-isolation exercises where you do slow, controlled movements for certain areas of your body that you're trying to target," she said. "It's hard because you have a lot more little muscles than you think you do. When you activate them, it's one of the hardest things I've ever done in my life. My whole body was quivering. I can't control my shaking; it's crazy."

13. Stella Maxwell

Stella Maxwell shared her wellness tips in an interview with HollywoodLife. “For me, the mind and body are the keys,” she says. “A healthy mind equals a healthy body. I try to do yoga and meditate every day. I eat clean and fresh and drink a lot of water. I think avoiding stress is also a big key to a healthy life.”

14. Erin Heatherton

Erin Heatherton opened up about her diet in an interview with People. “I always eat healthy because you don’t want to dig yourself in a hole,” says Heatherton. “The best diet is to focus on what you should be eating, and knowing how the foods you’re eating are helping you be healthier and look more beautiful. What you put in your body is what makes you glow and look healthy and gorgeous.”

15. Chanel Iman

Chanel Iman is all about self-care. She shared her favorite things to do in an interview with W Magazine. “Taking some time for yourself is always necessary. I like to write, so I always write down my thoughts and everything that’s going on in my life in my journal. That really helps me mentally. And talking to someone as well—I always think everybody needs someone to talk to.”

16. Barbara Palvin

Barbara Palvin shared some of her favorite workouts with Us Weekly. She says that she loves doing reverse lunges with a stability ball, as it comes in handy for photoshoots. “You have the ball, you put one leg on it and one behind you. So you bend down straight and put your leg back straight, stand up and then go down. You do that eight times, both legs, and actually if you do it before a shoot, for example, it really lifts your butt.”

17. Jac Jagaciak

In the same Allure interview, Jac Jagaciak revealed that she doesn’t have a specific routine for getting ready for the Victoria’s Secret Show. “It's more that I work out almost every day, and normally I only do it three times a week,” she explained. “I do a little bit of boxing, a little bit of Pilates. It's a mix of things. And I just eat healthy, three proper meals a day and then some snacks in between. What would I avoid? Uh, probably dairy. I don't really eat dairy so much anymore. I think dairy makes you a little bloated. And I think people really just found out lately, it's not really good for your body, so I trust that."

18. Behati Prinsloo

Behati Prinsloo makes sure to take care of her skin. She shared her secrets with The Cut. “For my morning skin-care routine, I’ll start by washing my face. I use a nice eye cream, and then the essence. If it’s daytime, I’ll do an oil-free SPF. Sometimes I’ll add a BB cream to get a little color. I like to curl my lashes because I don’t always put on mascara.”

19. Romee Strijd

Romee Strijd shared her workout secrets in an interview with ELLE. “What I always fit in my workout schedule is running, incline walks and stairs. So I would say going on a treadmill, run 15 minutes, 15 minutes incline walk, run 15 minutes, 15 minutes incline walk. That will make you sweat, but you will feel energised.”

20. Adriana Lima

The longest-running Angel, Adriana Lima, shared her workout secrets with Life & Style. “I do like three times a week of functional training and three times a week of boxing. Soon I will be implementing Pilates and possibly yoga. I love working out.”

Alessandra Ambrosio, the Brazilian model, is in a swimsuit, quoting author Grace Brisbane. “It’s the summer of our lives; we’ll contain it for a while.

1. She Likes Tracy Anderson

“I've been doing a lot of Tracy Anderson now, and it's a lot of dancing, cardio and I love it. I'm obsessed with it. I have the best time because the music is really loud and you don't really feel like you're working out. You feel like you're dancing and learning on this cool dance move. So that's what I'm into now. I might just put a DVD in my room and do all the [moves], like look like a crazy woman. And right now just keep hydrated, eat healthy. Just try to be as healthy as we can and out that's that's it, you know?” she told E! once.

2. She Says “Put Your Mind to it”

You just gotta put your mind [to it] and work out really hard, extra hard, that's what I did after my kids. It's always hard when you have too diet and work out. Just put your mind to it. And that's it.”

3. She Does Yoga

“I do one day of yoga or hike,” she has said. “Regular yoga practice creates mental clarity and calmness; increases body awareness; relieves chronic stress patterns; relaxes the mind; centers attention; and sharpens concentration,” explains Natalie Nevins, DO, a board-certified osteopathic family physician and certified Kundalini Yoga instructor in Hollywood, California.

4. Hiking is Great For You

“Hiking helps increase the strength in the leg muscles, builds stability in the core muscles and enhances balance skills. The more technical the terrain is, along with an increase in climbing intensity, the more balance and core strength is required because more muscles are being recruited to manage the steeper terrain. As you climb, the larger muscles in your legs are activated (such as the quadriceps, glutes, hamstrings and calves), and on the descent, your glutes and quadriceps are working hard to prevent you from falling forward on the decline. Uneven terrain means many of the smaller stabilizer muscles are being worked, which increases stability and balance overall,” says ACE Fitness.

5. She Uses Hair Oil

Alessandra likes Marajó hair products. “It's from Brazil and has like a new miracle oil. And I just love it. I've been using and my hair feels like super shiny and healthy. When I met them, they wanted to come up with something that wasn't in the market that—they asked me like all these questions about Brazil and they went and found in the island of Marajó, which is this island in the Amazon. They found this amazing oil. And they asked me to try it. And I've been trying for like a year now and I loved it. love this smell. I love the way it feels. And it works in everyone's like every women's hair, everyone's hair actually.”

Gabriella Demetriades was enjoying that hashtag "beach life." And she was not alone. It’s March. Which means warmer weather is around the corner. Which means it’s time to start showing off some fit figures. And these celebrities are doing just that, and they’re not even waiting for the official start of spring. From Meghan King, Molly Mae-Hague and Tay Conti posing in bathing suits, to Kelly Rowland strutting in a cover-up, these celebs posted several revealing posts on Instagram. How do they stay so fit? Read on to see all the ways the celebs stay 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. Gabriella Demetriades

Actor Gabriella Demetriades posted an Instagram video of her doing Pilates. "Some of the principles that guide the Pilates method include concentration on each movement, use of the abdomen and low back muscles, flowing movement patterns that are precise and a steady and controlled breathing. Depending on the exercise, Pilates routines can be performed on specially-designed apparatuses, including a bed-like structure called a reformer, or on a mat or blanket," says the Cleveland Clinic.

2. Tay Conti

Wrestler Tay Conti took a trip to Mexico this week, and she made sure to pose in a bathing suit at the beach. Being in the public eye, Conti is open to a lot of opinions, and not all of them are great. However, she’s learned to ignore the haters. In an Instagram post, Conti wrote, “When I look in the mirror, I’m happy to see who I am and I’m proud of myself. If you like my career, great you can stay but if you don’t, just leave. One thing is for sure: HATERS WILL NOT TAKE MY HAPPINESS AWAY.”

3. Meghan King

Meghan King posted a “Thirst trap” on Instagram this week, where she posed in a white bathing suit. In 2019, King unfortunately learned that her son has a brain injury, and went through a divorce. Instead of letting this break her, she decided to change the way she approached eating and food. "This is the first time in my life I’ve counted calories and it’s in the opposite way most Americans do so," she wrote on her blog. "I eat breakfast every day. That’s easy. Lunch is hard because it’s an annoyance: a stop in the middle of the day when I’m on a roll. So when I eat lunch I really go for it – all the carbs and all the protein. I don’t snack – never have. Dinner can go either way. The kids are asleep so I have time to eat and I do but usually I’m not very hungry.”

4. Kelly Rowland

Singer Kelly Rowland posted a stunning video on Instagram of herself modeling a new swimsuit she bought. Rowland tells Health that she is no longer comparing her body to other women’s bodies, and this has helped her embrace herself. "How I became comfortable with my body is understanding that no one looks like me. I kept comparing myself to so many other women who didn't look like me, and I had to embrace me and all my flaws."

5. Alexandra Daddario

"I use Postmates a lot, but I try to be responsible and not do that too much," she admits.

6. Alessandra Ambrosio

Model Alessandra Ambrosio took a trip to St. Barth’s, and posted a series of stunning photos on Instagram this week. When it comes to her diet, Ambrosio is a big believer in balance. She tells Elle that she doesn’t like to deprive herself of her favorite indulgences, but still wants to eat healthy. Her solution is splurging on vacations, then eating clean when she comes back. “If I'm back in Brazil where everything is pasta- or bread-based—and so yummy—I'll eat whatever I want, then go back to lots of salads and chicken or fish with veg as soon as I'm back in L.A."

7. Kourtney Kardashian

Kourtney Kardashian lounged in a bathing suit, on a paddleboard in the water, and posted it to her Instagram story this week. When it comes to fitness, Kardashian makes it a priority, even with her busy schedule. She revealed in a post on her website, that she does a lot of at-home lower body workouts, which aren’t super complicated or require a lot of expensive equipment. “If you have a few key pieces of gear, you can do all of these moves at home,” Kardashian wrote. She says that she loves to do leg lifts, kick backs, and squats with a weight.

8. Joy Corrigan

Model Joy Corrigan is ready for bathing suit weather, and she posted a series of stunning swimwear photos from Cabo to Instagram this week.
