1. She Works With A Trainer

Porizkova opened up about the changes she made to her fitness on Instagram. She says that she decided to work with a trainer after dealing with some injuries. "Staying in shape after menopause takes a lot of frickin' work. Especially when you have wonky hips. I've had to cut down on my Pilates since I came back for the jungle shooting #beyondtheedge because my hips won't cooperate. What I'm doing instead, for now, is some serious PT. I found an amazing personal trainer at my local Crunch, Shelly, who alternates hip PT with strength training."

2. She’s Comfortable With Herself

As you can see from her recent post, Porizkova is all about being comfortable with herself. She talked about this in the caption of the previous Instagram post, "I may not be as strong or as supple or as smooth as in my youth, but I am comfortable with my vulnerabilities, conscious of my weaknesses, proud of my strengths - and best of all, have the wisdom to put it all together and delight in the results. #betweenjloandbettywhite #workingout #unstoppable #strength #agingaintforsissies."

3. She Works Hard

Another of Porizkova’s fitness secrets? Hard work. She talked about this in the previous Instagram post’s caption, "So, yes, there are drawbacks to aging," Porizkova said. "One has to work a lot harder on things that were taken for granted. On the outside. On the inside, however, all the hard work already done is finally paying off."

4. She Intermittent Fasts

Porizkova opened up about her diet tips in the caption of this Instagram post. “Monday tip. 1: Intermittent fast,” she started. “This is how I eat. I have no breakfast except tea or coffee and try to go as long as I can without eating. Generally, I last until about two or three pm, sometimes even all day - if I don’t exercise! If I do, then I eat after my workout.”

5. She Avoids Certain Beverages

Porizkova makes sure that she eats a healthy diet, and that means avoiding certain things. In the previous Instagram post, Porizkova writes that she is particular about what beverages she drinks. “I also drink up to three cups of coffee and two or more cups of herbal teas. No soft drinks, ever. No juices. If your fruit and veggies do not contain fiber ( as in juices) it’s basically sugar water.”

Paulina Porizkova is one of the most successful and influential supermodels of all time. And she is still posting revealing photos on Instagram. Porizkova just posted a new swimsuit photo this week. She posed in a multicolored pattern bikini, showing off her figure. Porizkova captioned the post, “Some more food for thought. Athletes versus models. Both start their careers very young. Both make large amounts of money based on their physicality - in direct proportion to the demand - for their service. Both need to keep themselves in prime physical shape. Both jobs are physically and sometimes emotionally painful. Both careers end when most others just come into their best. Both are a celebration (or objectification) of the human body. Both demand sacrifices in personal lives. Both are used for your entertainment and to sell you products. One highlights mostly men, the other mostly women. And as they start aging out of their careers, if they refuse to give up quite yet - one gets applauded and is seen as heroic, and the other shamed as pathetic.

1. She Uses SPF

Porizkova makes sure to take care of her skin. She revealed some of her favorite products on Instagram. One thing she makes sure to use is an SPF. “One of the most important things you can do [for] yourself in the summertime—for sure in the summertime, but really all year ’round—is your SPF,” she said.

2. She Posts Natural Photos

Porizkova is a supermodel, however, she doesn’t always want to be the ideal beauty standards. Porizkova posts a lot of natural, unedited photos on social media. She explained why in this Instagram post. “When I post no Botox no fillers hashtags, I get a fair amount of criticism from women assuming I’m somehow being superior. And I always have a knee jerk reaction to this - wanting to defend myself. ‘No, no,’ I want to say, ‘I’m merely going for representation.’”

3. She Enriches Her Good Bacteria

Porizkova spilled some of her skincare secrets on Instagram. She says that she wants to protect the good bacteria on her face, and uses products that will do that. "I am very fond of the good bacteria on my skin," she says. "[The cream] is very matte in texture, and it's also nice and rich."

4. She Focuses On Aging Well

In the same Instagram post, Porizkova talked about her approach to aging. "I have a little bit of an issue with the name anti-aging, because I don't actually mind aging,” she says. “I just want to age well. It's preferable to being dead, right?"

5. She Ignores Critics

Porizkova has had a lot of people comment on her appearance. However, she ignores them. The model wrote on Instagram, “I’m told my face needs ‘fixing.’ It has somehow gone ‘wrong’ by aging. Is it any wonder that most of us who have the means will resort to some forms of fixing what we’re told is broken?”

Paulina Porizkova is sharing another message of self-love in her swimsuit. The 57-year-old old shows off her famous figure in one of her latest Instagram posts, taken while on the beach. “Four years ago, I was on a vacation with friends in St Maarten. We were lounging on the beach, and I brought up the topic of superpowers. What were our real life superpowers? What did we think of our own and those of each other?” she captioned the post. How does she manage to look half her age and what is her superpower?

1. She Encourages Self-Love

In her latest post, Paulina explains that she encourages women to love themselves by paying lots of compliments, which her friends call “her superpower.” “Everyone always thinks I get nothing but compliments all day long. So my friends and lovers, making the assumption I know and hear it all the time, very rarely give me one. I understand how it feels to be told by someone that you are beautiful to them. And the opposite. So I make a point of complimenting others,” she said in the post. Is it shallow? Is it superficial? Maybe. But who cares when the result is a heartfelt smile and a little extra bounce in the step. Every woman is beautiful in her own and unique way. Why not celebrate it?” She also refuses to listen to body shamers. “Body shaming is so last decade. Let’s celebrate who we are, wrinkles and imperfections and all,” she wrote in a recent Instagram caption after a troll tried to slam her for being too thin.

2. She Eats Clean

While Paulina isn’t a supporter of diet culture, she stays in shape by eating clean and healthy food – for the most part. “I live reasonably clean- don’t much enjoy processed foods, but love a variety and do love my cakes,” she wrote in a recent Instagram post.

3. She Moves – Moderately

Paulina enjoys exercise, but in moderation. “I started exercising when I was 40. I never did anything before that. Just cigarettes and poor nutrition. I could eat whatever I wanted because I smoked. Cindy [Crawford] would be there sweating and working out, and she had a fabulous body that she worked for and I was just like, 'Oh, that's stupid.' I had a good time being unhealthy for a while, but then you pay for it,” she told Elle. These days she works out “at least three times a week- sometimes less, sometimes more,” she revealed on Instagram. Her motivation to sweat is also different. I found out if I worked out every day my anxiety was kept a lot at bay. And I felt better. So how great is that?” she told Elle.

4. Dance Your Way to a Hot Body

Paulina enjoys a social form of cardio. “I still dance. I've done boxing. I've done rowing. You name it, I've done it. Except for running. I don't like running. It doesn't feel good to me. It feels bad on my knees,” she told Elle. “I'd rather do Zumba. And Bollywood dancing is a great way to get the aerobic part done. I do some really hard rowing classes. It's become something that's like brushing my teeth. It's something I have to do.”

5. She Also Does Pilates

Paulina is also a big fan of pilates, revealing in a recent Instagram post that the Nofar Method, a New York City based studio, is her favorite. According to research, Pilates exercises are designed to increase muscle strength, endurance, and flexibility, and to improve posture and balance. Experts maintain that it is a great workout for leaning out.

6. She Isn’t Ashamed to Be Aging

“I felt ashamed to be aging, and then on the other hand you go, 'But, I'm smarter, I'm better, I'm funnier, I'm more patient!' Overall as a person, I'm the best I've ever been. So I'm not ready to be dismissed,” she explained to PEOPLE about why she posts so much about aging. “You don't get to dismiss me because I have some wrinkles and sags and gray hair now, when I'm kind of fabulous, the most fabulous I've ever been. In fact, I'm going to just put it out there and go, you know what, this is me at my best. Deal with it!”

Paulina Porizkova is one of the most successful and gorgeous supermodels of all time. She is unafraid of showing off her body on social media, and a recent Instagram post proves it. In the photo, Porizkova posed on the beach in a pink bikini. She captioned it, “When you ask your son to do a bikini photo of you- and he’s 6’5 and too lazy to get down to get a better angle.” Read on to see 5 ways Paulina Porizkova stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!

1. She Intermittent Fasts

Porizkova spilled some of her diet secrets in this Instagram post. She says that she does a twist on intermittent fasting. “I do the 16/8 diet,” she says. “Which just means that you don’t eat for 16 hours and then you eat for eight.” "Between meals, as long as we don’t snack, our insulin levels will go down and our fat cells can then release their stored sugar, to be used as energy. We lose weight if we let our insulin levels go down. The entire idea of IF is to allow the insulin levels to go down far enough and for long enough that we burn off our fat," says Harvard Health.

2. She Isn’t Afraid To Indulge

In the same Instagram post, Porizkova revealed some of her favorite foods. She says in the eight hours she does eat, she isn’t afraid of indulging once in a while. “I generally take it as I eat whatever I want for eight hours because I like food. I tend to like healthier foods, but if I eat a fried chicken, I eat a fried chicken—it’s just the way it is.”

3. She Likes Vegan Food

Porizkova might not be a vegan, but she likes to eat vegan food on occasion. In her Instagram post, she says that she’s a fan of the company Splendid Spoon, particularly their smoothies. “They have all different flavors,” she says. “They also have these soups or noodles or rice, too—they have a whole bunch of stuff. It’s all vegan, it’s really good for you. It’s very healthy and I do this so I can go out to dinner and have whatever I want.”

4. She Doesn’t Get Work Done

Porizkova talked about her approach to aging in this Us Weekly interview. She says that she doesn’t like to have procedures done to her face. “I don’t like fillers or Botox because for me, I like the fact that my face is really expressive. People know how I feel and I don’t really have to talk.”

5. She Embraces Aging

Porizkova is not afraid of aging. She says in this Instagram post, “I don’t actually mind aging, I just want to age well. It’s preferable to being dead, right?” "Healthy aging is a hot topic. Whether you're concerned about weight gain, sex drive or chronic diseases, the key to healthy aging is a healthy lifestyle. Eating a variety of nutritious foods, practicing portion control and including physical activity in your daily routine can go a long way toward promoting healthy aging," says the Mayo Clinic.
