Poppy Delevingne is prioritizing self-care in her swimsuit. The model shows off her amazing body in a bathing suit in one of her latest social media posts, enjoying a self-care retreat with pals Lily James and Gala Gordon. “I reached out to @shawellness a few weeks ago, after suddenly feeling the need to reset, recharge & rebalance. I spent 6 days at what I can only describe as paradise, learning everything there is to know about nutrition, fitness, well-being & how to de-stress ~ mixed in with all sorts of incredible treatments like reflexology & shirodhara. I couldn’t have done it without two of my besties (detoxing can make you feel quite raw at times) & without all the wonderful staff & therapists who looked after us SO beautifully. I also appreciate how lucky I am to do something as special & as rewarding as this,” she captioned the Instagram post. How does the 36-year-old maintain her fit physique? Here's how.
1. Eat Everything “In Moderation”
Poppy isn’t extreme when it comes to diet. "I eat meat, dairy, and tons of fruits and vegetables, but I could also have pasta for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Basically I'm a massive foodie who eats everything in moderation," she dished to Harper’s Bazaar. "Granola with almond milk or a homemade bacon butty—white bread, crispy bacon, and HP brown sauce,” is her breakfast. For lunch she might have a deli sandwich. And for dinner? "I go out about four nights a week. I'm really into Lebanese, Japanese, and Indian cuisines. At home I make spaghetti Bolognese or chili con carne. Dinner is my favorite meal because I have a cocktail—a vodka soda with lime or a Dark 'n' Stormy with whiskey. I drink a lot of beer too, which is so unladylike,” she said.
2. Exercise
Poppy exercises – a little. "I'm lucky to have a fast metabolism, so I haven't had to exercise much. I go to the gym at Grace Belgravia in London, where I work out with personal trainer Rob Jeffers. Right now we're focusing on my arms. I also love to dance—around my house, when I go out. I never stop moving,” she told Harper’s Bazaar.
3. Rest

Aside from “eating really well, a good skin routine and good hair routine” Poppy prioritizes rest. “Sleeping when you’re not working,” is how she balances out her busy career. “Having hibernation weekends where I just sleep for hours on end. Working out when you have those spare moments. All of that is very important,” she told Vogue Australia.
4. Cycle

“I have a lot of energy. Energy’s a very huge thing in our family; none of us need caffeine, we’re just high-energy people. Sometimes I need to work that out otherwise it’s like a bomb that’s going to explode,” she told Vogue. “If I’m in America…I will track down the nearest Soul Cycle wherever that is and I’ll just power through on a bike for 45 minutes. It just gets you going and it gets you hot. When I’m in the UK I have a personal trainer who is wonderful and she’s hard-core and makes sure I get up in the morning and go.
5. Work Out Alone
Poppy exercises by herself. "I like to work out alone. I’m not a group exercise person. I don’t mind if I’m with people I don’t know but my worst nightmare is bumping into people looking like a sweaty tomato and having to make polite conversation. I’d rather be a loner worker outer,” she told Get the Gloss.
