She Works With A Trainer To Learn About Her Body
Swanepoel, like many people, works with a personal trainer to keep herself in shape. She and several other Victoria's Secret Angels work with trainer Justin Gelbrand. Swanepoel tells PopWorkouts that Gelbrand doesn't just help her work out, he also teaches her about health and her body. "With Justin, it's not only about getting you into shape by training, it's everything in between. He has taught me so much about nutrition, health, and generally understanding how my body functions inside and out. For me, it's become a total addiction."
She Boxes
Swanepoel is open about her love of certain workouts, and one of those is boxing. She tells PopWorkouts, "I box, I do a lot of resistance, three or four times a week. I like that, as well as keeping fit, I can protect myself."
She Practices Yoga
Another workout that Swanepoel is open about her love for is yoga. She tells PopWorkouts, "When I'm too tired to box, I do yoga. It's good to stay flexible and learn to keep your mind quiet." Swanepoel also tells The Cut, "I do it every time I feel overwhelmed and stressed—I try at least twice a week."
She Keeps Her Workouts Fun
Swanepoel broke down some of her fitness secrets in an interview with Shape Magazine. She says that her most important secret is doing exercises that she finds fun to do. That way, she looks forward to working out, and doesn't get bored. "My favorite exercise is something that doesn't feel like I'm exercising at all, such as swimming in the ocean or playing paddle ball," she says.
She Does Opposite Workouts
Another workout secret Swanepoel told Shape Magazine is that likes to mix up her workouts. Specifically, Swanepoel likes to do workouts that have opposite effects on her body. "For me, mixing workouts like boxing, jump rope, and basic ballet works best," she says as an example. "Boxing works my arms and core, ballet elongates my muscles, and jumping rope is a great way to warm up before any workout."
