1. She Wrote a Book About Her Diet

Kelly is the author of a book: I Can Make You Hot!: The Supermodel Diet. In it, she reveals that she lost 50 pounds twice. “When I got pregnant with each daughter, I gained 50 pounds. Most people in my position would really watch their diet and eat crazy foods and exercise like a maniac. For me, having children and being able to bear children was such an incredible luxury. I wanted to be a vessel for them and not exercise and diet while pregnant,” she explained to The Washingtonian. “As a result, I gained 50 pounds. Believe me, it wasn’t easy [losing weight] and having an ex-husband photographing models all the time. But for me, wanting to take care of myself is a really big part of who I am. I like to say I lost the weight gracefully—when my one daughter was five months old people were asking me, 'Are you still pregnant?' But you know what? I have great, healthy kids, and I’m healthy at 44. I treat my body well, and as a result it looks good.”

2. She Likes These Trendy Workout Classes

Kelly is a big fan of group fitness. She told Page Six that two of her favorites are SoulCycle and Y7 yoga. Yoga is considered one of many types of complementary and integrative medicine approaches. Yoga brings together physical and mental disciplines that may help you achieve peacefulness of body and mind. This can help you relax and manage stress and anxiety," says the Mayo Clinic.

3. She Runs

Kelly is a big outdoor runner. She often shares photos of social media rocking running gear. “Running alone,” she captioned an image over the pandemic, flaunting her flat abs in a sports bra and matching leggings.

4. She Promotes Mental Health

Kelly is a big advocate of self-care and prioritizing mental health. On Mental Health Day, she shared a photo of herself in an upside down yoga pose reminding people to take care of themselves. “Today is one of those days that people brush off because they think, ‘I’m good. I’m fun. I’m doing great. Why do I need to stop and reflect? Im in a great time in my life!’” she said.

5. These Moves Are Responsible for Her Great Legs

Kelly revealed the two exercises responsible for her toned legs to The Washingtonian. “My favorite leg exercises are squats and lunges. They just really tone up the inner and outer thighs and lift the buttocks, as well. When your butt muscles are toned, your legs look leaner,” she explained.

6. Kelly Recommends Avoiding These Diet Mistakes

Kelly dished to The Washingtonian about which dietary trends are the biggest mistakes. “One is skipping meals and the other is fasting,” she said. “Both of those do the same thing—every time you skip a meal or fast, you’re jarring your metabolism, which causes you to gain weight.”

7. Sunday Is Her Cheat Day

In her book, Kelly reveals that Sunday is her one cheat day. “I love my mom’s Irish soda bread, which she used to make on Sundays after I did well in swim meets. I love the pizza I make with the girls, and guacamole and homemade chips. I love doing anything with my kids, and cooking is a good way for them to learn responsibility and how to take care of themselves, and for us to share and make memories,” she told The Washingtonian about what she usually eats on cheat days.

8. Hydrate...with Miso Soup

Kelly prioritizes hydration, but has an interesting method. “When you’re hydrated, you’re less hungry,” she told The Washingtonian. “Miso soup has a lot of sodium, but it’s hydrating, and it helps with digestion and fills you up quicker. But do you need to have a bowl of soup with every meal? No. Instead, you could have a glass of water without ice in it before you start a meal.”

1. She Has Learned to Love Herself

“HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMENS DAY ✨ Today is a day where we can celebrate us. I have so many women in my life who inspire me every day and I wanted to give a little something today that can hopefully inspire one of you. Loving our imperfections can be difficult, but when you learn to embrace them and realise that our imperfections don’t define us, they are just a part of us alongside everything else that creates you as a person. None of us are the same, and that’s a special thing. We are one of a kind 🤍 This picture shows me at my most vulnerable… but I’m learning to love myself, imperfections and all. And so should you,” she wrote once.

2. She Was Once “Unhealthily Skinny”

"I went from a size 10 to a six, and it’s the smallest I’ve ever been as a young adult. Because of my height, this made me look unhealthily skinny, of which I was (not eating barely anything, feeling ill all the time, tired, dizzy) and I remember looking at myself, I’d lost my boobs and my bum and those curves I once had and I missed them,” she wrote on Instagram. "The point of this [is], since coming out of Love Island, I found my love for food again and yes I’m getting back to my usual size."

3. She Likes a Nice Bath

“Drowning my sorrows in the bath because my Met Gala invite got lost 💔…,” she captioned one recent photo. Consider adding Epsom salt. “Pour about 300 grams (1.25 cups) of Epsom salt into a clean bathtub as it fills with hot water. (Avoid using Epsom salt in a tub with jets, a hot tub or a whirlpool bath unless the manufacturer says it’s OK.),” says the Cleveland Clinic.

4. This is Her Skin Icon

"At the moment the make-up I use does change fairly often, not necessarily my staples like concealer and foundation, but I do switch up the bronzers, blushers and mascara that I use,” she has said. Her icon? "Meghan Markle, her skin is absolutely flawless – her make-up always looks lovely as her make-up always looks lovely and natural."

5. She Has Had Acne

“I suffered from acne about a year and a half ago and then I started to work with a skin aesthetician, who helped me to find my skincare routine and helped me to start dealing with the breakouts. Now that my acne has gone, we are on more of a journey to find the right products; doing treatments like microneedling once a month to deal with the scarring. I am so happy with the outcome because the difference from what it was to now is just incredible. I genuinely used to think there was never going to be a time when I could get rid of the acne and I think when you are suffering you think it’s going to be with you forever. Don’t get me wrong, it isn’t an overnight process – it took me a year and a half to be acne free, but through a good skincare routine and using the right products it can be combated. My skin aesthetician advised me that the products you use to treat acne don’t start working for 4-6 months, so it took six months before I started to see a difference. The secret to good skin is also about good lifestyle, it’s all about looking after the inside to make your skin glow,” she told Hello.
