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.

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.

4. She Is “Consistent”

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.

Gigi Hadid, the renowned supermodel, is turning heads in France with her stunning swimsuit photos. In her latest social media post, she flaunts her incredible physique, leaving her fans in awe. Accompanying the series of Instagram snaps, she captions, ".. a lil-bit of a-lot that got done in Paris this week ✔️❣️ .. Merci à tous." But how does she maintain her enviable fitness? Join us as we delve into the five ways Gigi Hadid stays in shape.

1. She Recently Admit That Her Eating Was “Very Routined”

Gigi recently opened up about going to extremes with dieting. “When I started out, I was a heavily trained volleyball player, and I had a certain body type from that,” Hadid told the outlet. “At that time, fashion hadn’t started to get into a more inclusive body-image conversation,” she told The Sunday Times. “I was probably harder on my body than I should have been. I wasn’t starving myself, but I was very routined. Since then, I’ve got into this idea of body neutrality. I love my body for what it has done, but I’m not obsessed with it.”

2. She Loves Sausage and Pancakes

Gigi loves eating breakfast. “I eat whatever Khai’s having. I make her pancakes and sausages every day. For Christmas, she asked me what I was going to ask Santa for and so I said I wanted a new pancake pan. I ordered myself, via Santa, this cool pancake pan—each little circle pancake is a different animal, so she can have lion pancakes or llama pancakes. It’s really fun,” she told The Wall Street Journal.

3. She Walks

Gigi gets her steps in with her daughter. “We walk a lot,” she told The WSJ. “With lifting her and running around all day and going to the park, I get moving.” Physical activity is anything that gets your body moving. Each week adults need 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity and 2 days of muscle-strengthening activity, according to the current Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans.

4. She Prioritizes Self-Care

Gigi also prioritizes self-care. “I try when I have time to go to the chiropractor and get recalibrated. Doing the job that I do, it can be very physical. Oh, I guess a New Year’s resolution is I’ll try to treat myself to a massage a little more,” she told the WSJ.

5. She Does Yoga

Another way Gigi stays in shape with the help of her daughter? “We do yoga together,” she told the WSJ. There is a laundry list of reasons to do yoga, explains Harvard Health. “Researchers found that people who practiced yoga for at least 30 minutes once a week for at least four years, gained less weight during middle adulthood,” they said. “People who were overweight actually lost weight. Overall, those who practiced yoga had lower body mass indexes (BMIs) compared with those who did not practice yoga. Researchers attributed this to mindfulness. Mindful eating can lead to a more positive relationship with food and eating.”
