Hadid has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it. She tells Harper’s Bazaar that she likes to keep things simple. “My mom never really gave me advice on, like, what to do with my skincare or makeup, but I definitely watched her enough to learn. She had a very simple, natural take on skincare. She didn’t overdo it with product, and I feel like I’ve taken that on, where I think less is more. Doing too much for my skin or beauty routine can make it more complicated, and sometimes my skin can’t handle it.”

2. She Makes Time For Herself

Hadid has a busy schedule, but she always makes time for herself. She tells Vogue that this is extremely important for her, and advises others to do the same. “I would just say that we should all try to focus on taking time for ourselves,” says Hadid. “So just remind yourself that you’re doing the best you can, you’re doing amazing, and to just give yourself grace. And if you brushed your hair this week, I’m really proud of you.”

3. She Works Hard

Hadid works with trainer, Rob Piela, to help her stay in shape. He tells Vogue that Hadid is a hard worker. “It’s all about how hard you work and how much you put in,” Piela says. “Gigi is a hard worker. Staying fit is all about consistency. Don’t miss workout days. Don’t get lazy in the winter.”

4. She Boxes

In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Hadid opened up about her daily schedule. She says that she likes to box on a regular basis. “I rode horses and played volleyball back home, so when I came to New York it was hard for me to just go to the gym. I need to have a sport that wakes me up and that I can get better at, and boxing does that for me. I usually go to Gotham Gym in the West Village.

5. She Works With A Trainer

Having someone to help motivate her is very important to Hadid. She tells Harper’s Bazaar that she was looking for a trainer to help her stay in shape. “My boxing trainer has become my coach,” she says. “The coach-player thing has been really important my whole life.”

1. She Grew Up Athletic

"Being an athlete was such a big part of me being proud of myself and my skin," Hadid told ELLE. "My coaches didn't care about how I looked, they cared about me because I was a good teammate, a good friend, and those were the things that helped me feel strong." Indeed she wasn’t always a model. “I stopped because I was a really competitive horseback rider and a club volleyball player,” she said. “I went to Junior Olympic qualifiers for volleyball. So, I kind of stopped modeling. I just wanted to have a normal childhood and go to high school,” she said, according to Vanity Fair.

2. This is Her Easy Go-Go

“At home I love scrambled eggs and toast; it's just an easy go-to,” Hadid told Harper’s Bazaar. "Eggs are a complete protein meaning they contain all the amino acids the body needs to build and repair body tissues," Jamie Feit, MS, RD and expert at Testing.com, tells our sister site Eat This, Not That!. "Eggs contain fat-soluble vitamins, B vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants." ETNT! adds: “Protein feeds the muscles you are trying to build from your workout routine, which in return creates a faster metabolism and helps you lose weight, according to a study published by the International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism. The amino acids in the egg can help provide your body with the protein it needs to build that muscle you desire!”

3. She’s Been Really Into Boxing

“When I walk in [to Gotham Gym], it’s like my big brothers. They don’t care about me as a model or what my body looks like. They care that I give a good punch, and that’s how I want to be judged in my athletic space, because that’s what I find pride in,” Hadid said to Vogue. “I need to have a sport that wakes me up and that I can get better at, and boxing does that for me,” Hadid said.

4. She Takes a Holistic Approach to Wellness

"For me, I celebrate strength, not only the physical but mental and social," Hadid said at a Reebok event once. "You have to nourish all parts of yourself." Consider integrative care for yourself. “Integrative medicine can help people with cancer, persistent pain, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia and many other conditions better manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life by reducing fatigue, pain and anxiety,” says the Mayo Clinic. “Examples of common practices include:

• Acupuncture
• Animal-assisted therapy
• Aromatherapy
• Dietary supplements
• Massage therapy
• Music therapy
• Meditation”

5. This is Her Biggest Thing

"My biggest thing is just eat healthy and work out," Hadid has said, according to Popsugar. "Yeah, I think the biggest thing I always say is eat clean to stay fit, and then have a cheat day to stay sane."

Gigi has a trick to get herself motivated at the gym. “I’m really competitive—I’m an athlete and played volleyball all through high school—so working out is fun for me. My trainer will tell me the women’s records for different things at the gym, and I'll have to beat one by the end of the day or I won’t leave,” she told Into the Gloss.

2. She Eats a Hearty Breakfast

Gigi fuels up with food. She detailed her morning routine to Harper’s Bazaar. “I work almost every day, so I usually wake up around 7 A.M. On my days off I try to sleep in, which is my guilty pleasure. I will sleep past noon on some days but then wish that I had gotten up earlier. But I also love waking up early when the city is still quiet. I usually eat breakfast or have coffee before I do anything. I live near the Smile, and I love their scrambled eggs, bacon, and toast. I drink orange juice and coffee always. At home I love scrambled eggs and toast; it's just an easy go-to,” she said.

3. She Boxes

Gigi has one workout she loves. “I rode horses and played volleyball back home, so when I came to New York it was hard for me to just go to the gym. I need to have a sport that wakes me up and that I can get better at, and boxing does that for me. I usually go to Gotham Gym in the West Village. My boxing trainer has become my coach. The coach-player thing has been really important my whole life,” she told Harper’s Bazaar.

Gigi is very consistent in her approach to exercise. “It’s all about how hard you work and how much you put in—Gigi is a hard worker,” her trainer Rob Piela, owner of New York’s Gotham Gym and Gotham G-Box, told Vogue. “Staying fit is all about consistency,” he says. “Don’t miss workout days; don’t get lazy in the winter.”

5. She Indulges

Gigi allows herself to indulge. "I've always said, 'Eat clean to stay fit, have a burger to stay sane,'" she told E! And yes, in multiple interviews she has confessed that burgers are her favorite cheat meal. Just eat them in moderation: "Diets high in red meat are associated with many health problems, such as chronic inflammation, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, dementia, and premature death. While those risks may be enough to keep you from digging into a juicy burger or steak, they may not stop your craving for meaty textures on the plate," says Harvard Health.

Piela tells Women’s Health that he likes to keep Hadid’s workouts interesting.

Consistency is key – schedule in regular workouts.”
