She Eats Different Vegetarian Diets
Brinkley is well-known for being a vegetarian and animal lover. She has been a vegetarian since she was young, and she's also made subtle adaptations to her diet over the years. Brinkley tells The Cut, "Over the years I've been a vegan, I've been a macro-biotic, I've been a lacto-ovo. The one constant since the day I stopped eating meat was that I haven't eaten any red meat or fowl."
She Eats Colorful Foods
When it comes to her diet, Brinkley tells Shape Magazine that she loves colorful foods. "I've always said go for as many colours as possible in a day. That's my main concept for making sure my kids get all the nutrients—making sure the deep greens, yellows and reds and purples, all of that."
She Works Out At Home
For Brinkley, any time of the day can be a workout. She says to The Cut that she doesn't let her busy schedule stop her from being active. She also says that she doesn't always have to go to the gym to work out, let alone leave her house. "While I'm brushing my teeth, I'm doing leg lifts. When I'm drying my hair, I do all kinds of squats."
She Takes Care Of Her Skin
Brinkley has flawless skin, and has looked relatively the same since the beginning of her career. In order to do this, she has to take care of her skin, which includes some treatments. She tells The Cut, "My choice for ageing gracefully is to dabble in treatments. To ignore science would be ridiculous. It's my pleasure to let people know about these things."
She Works Out Her Arms
For Brinkley, one of her biggest workout secrets is focusing on moving her arms. It's clear that this has paid off, as she has incredible toned arms. Brinkley tells The Cut, "When I was doing [the musical] Chicago I noticed that the second you do any activity and you add your arms as though you're dancing, it revs you up."
