If I wanna have a burger, I’ll do that.”

And I feel much better. It makes you realize there’s definitely something to it.”

At the end you have that moment of laying down and five minutes of like [does an exaggerated exhale]. Kind of like a meditation. I think that's really important for your brain and to come down. At the end of the yoga, it's just good for me to lay down and think about nothing… or try to [laughs]."

"Weight training with yoga really works with my body. I work out with weights, and the more and more I learn that, I'm not scared doing weights," she told Body+Soul. "I'm using more weight, and more weight, and more weight, and less repetitions to create that muscle. But stretching is such a important thing for the muscle—and in women, it's what makes you get the shape, the beautiful shape."

3. She Needs to Keep Going

"I can't be without training for more than two weeks—I just get really nervous and my energy starts to go down," she said in March 2019. "When you start working out and your body's changing and you're achieving your goals, that's such a great thing. So, I think that's the motivation [to exercise]—feeling better and just being happy with you and knowing that you're healthy. If you know you're taking care of your body and you're doing it for a reason, you can put aside the, 'I can't do it.'"

Filming at the waterfalls and with my horses in our hometown in Byron Bay with the Swisse team was an amazing experience and was also a great learning time for me to understand more about the brand and its products. I'm still getting to know all of the products, but I already have a few favorites that I use every day," Pataky said.

For Hosk, working out is all about variety. She tells Marie Claire that she likes to mix up her workouts to keep her interested, and to work on different things. "I love boxing, and I try to mix it up as much as I can. Boxing makes you kind of tight, so it's really good to mix that with barre, pilates, or something that'll stretch you out and make you longer. I'm not the person that loves to be in the gym so much. I like to mix it up as much as possible, otherwise I'll get bored."

2. She’s A Runner

Hosk is a model, but that doesn’t mean she’s on a super resitricitive diet. In fact, Hosk tells ELLE that she takes the opposite approach when it comes to food. "I am really bad at being on a diet. As soon as I tell myself, 'You have to eat this or that,' I am going to do the exact opposite,so I didn't tell myself anything.” Hosk says that she focuses on being healthy most of the time, and enjoying what she eats. “I just tried to stay away from processed food. I feel like I have been working out so much I can eat what I want. I like to do it that way.”

5. She Loves Dance Cardio Classes

When it comes to cardio, Hosk tells ELLE that she likes to keep it fun, and that she likes to do dance inspired exercises. "I've been training with Megan Roup, who does dance cardio. It's lots of toning moves for the glutes, legs, and arms. She's just really fun.”
