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.”

Victoria Silvstedt, the supermodel, stays fit for work, even when it’s fall. “Vitamine D reloading 🌞 Yesterday felt like Summer again 🤸🏼,” she captioned a new swimsuit photo. She’s often posing having some fun in the sun—”Bon Week-end à tous 🦋,” she captioned another photo—and the vitamin D is working for her. How does she stay so fit?

“I didn't love myself until recently, because I started accepting myself. I accepted, Okay, I'm, I'm this because in the beginning of your career, your life, you just still figuring out and you just don't feel, Is this me? I'm not sure. Like, what did they think of me? Oh my God. There's always like, insecurity issues. I've had so much insecurity when I was younger, so much the career I chose was to kind of, in that world, I got to play the role and be this person. Like in the movies or modeling or acting or TV show, whatever I was doing, I was always playing up to this, like the sexy bimbo, whatever, you know, you wanna call it little about like a Marilyn Monroe role and, and it's like cause of my insecurity that helped me to kind of boost myself. I learned to love myself,” she told Monaco Wisdom.

“Well, since I set my bar very high, I'm, I'm successful. But you always wanna be more successful. You know, when you, you push yourself to a certain level. You want to, you want to do more, but successful. Yeah. I consider myself successful that I was able to make my own, make my own money and, and, you know, can feel financially insecure if I want to. That's in business. But success in life could be something completely different, you know, to be fulfilled with yourself, self-acceptance and, and treat other people with respect. They say also beauty fades by intelligence and inner beauty never dies. So we have to think about that. Think it's very important,” she told Monaco Wisdom.

“First of all I love to eat. I am not your green juices 24/7 kind of girl. I must have a desert everyday and especially chocolate. And what is a night like without a glass of wine? However, I try to avoid eating carbs and especially before a photo-shoot. I also try to limit my amount of red meat intake. I guess you can describe my diet as a Mediterranean, wholesome and vegetable-based diet,” she told Victor De Monaco. “As for my physique, I try to take a lot of vitamins for my hair and skin. And I love working out outdoors like doing some yoga and pilates every now and then. I prefer to go running outside rather than to workout at the gym.”

5. She Appreciates the Little Things

“I started my career, I was 17, 18, and I didn't even even have a credit card. I didn't even have a bank account, didn't have a cell phone until I was like 25. You know what I mean? So I had to do step by step and, and I think that's why I appreciate so much also every step of the way. I think if I was born into a lot of wealth, obviously you don't have the same strive drive, maybe, you know? So I, I really appreciate even, every little thing, you know, the happiness is the journey going, going there. The happiness is just bringing positivity into the world, being close to my family, seeing my family happy, seeing my partner happy. You know, like the little things, you know, having my mom's home cooked meal or whatever, like simple little things,” she told Monaco Wisdom.
