Victoria Silvstedt in Bathing Suit Hits the Beach

Victoria Silvstedt is soaking up the sunshine at the Côte d'Azur, on the beautiful French Riviera (where else would a Swedish supermodel vacation?). Silvstedt, 48, shared pictures of herself posing in a powder-blue ruffled bikini, against a gorgeous background of blue skies, pool, and ocean. “Summer Vibes 🦋, she captioned the shot. “Perfect in this swimsuit! Enjoy summer vibes,” a fan commented. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Silvstedt stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. Pilates and Power Walks

Silvstedt has a set routine when she’s at home, but stays active wherever she is. “I only keep my training routine when I'm in Monaco,” she says. “When I'm in New York I walk a lot and in Cannes I run around in high heels, so that becomes my exercise. When I'm at home in Monaco, I do Pilates two to three times a week, both mat Pilates and with Reformer. I supplement it with power walks and hikes by the sea or in the mountains around Monaco.”

2. She Enjoys the Good Things

Silvstedt eats whatever she wants, but—of course—in moderation. “I'm in the best shape of my life,” she says. “But I like the good things in life. Every day I eat a huge breakfast, then pasta for lunch, but I stay away from carbs in the evening. And then I drink a glass of red wine almost every night. And I have to have my daily dose of chocolate! I like to drink champagne and have a glass of wine. And I love Tequila shots, the Patrón brand is my favorite.”

3. Yoga and Skiing

Silvstedt says living in the warm climate of Monaco encourages her to stay in shape year-round. “I feel best by being active,” she says. “It ranges from Pilates, gym, yoga, to walking or skiing,” she says. “Then it's the case that I'm in warm climates most of the year and wear a bikini, then you can't eat too much because the stomach gets so swollen. I think it's easier to keep the weight off if you have to wear a bikini often. If I were to live in Sweden in the winter, I would eat all the time and probably put on a lot of weight. When I'm at home, we have coffee and cozy up all the time!”

4. Not Competing With 20-Year-Olds

Silvstedt is content with her incredible career so far. “I'm completely satisfied with what I've already managed to achieve career-wise and I'm happy with who I am,” she says. “It's not like I'm trying to be 20 and compete with the young hot girls, not at all. Should I not get any more assignments - so what? I can retire tomorrow, no problem. That I care about my appearance is not a requirement from the industry or anyone else, I have always liked to keep myself fresh.”

5. Summer Wellness

Silvstedt loves swimming and other summer activities, but makes sure not to let her hair or skin be damaged by pool chemicals or too much sun exposure. “I avoid dipping my hair in pool water,” she says. “I wear a hat when I sunbathe, or I lie under a parasol. - I protect my face as much as possible. SPF 30, then makeup concealer with SPF 30 and a light bronzing powder that protects. Of course I will come to Sweden this summer!”

Supermodel and actress Victoria Silvstedt has her health and wellness routine down to a fine art at this point—and it shows. Silvstedt, 48, shared pictures of herself posing in a white bathing suit at the beach, complete with sunglasses and a white coverup. How does she stay so fit?

1. Sensible About Diet

Silvstedt refuses to be too restrictive about her food, instead enjoying a balanced diet. “First of all I love to eat,” she says. “I am not your green juices 24/7 kind of girl. I must have a dessert everyday and especially chocolate. And what is a night like without a glass of wine? However, I try to avoid eating carbs and especially before a photo-shoot. I also try to limit my amount of red meat intake. I guess you can describe my diet as a Mediterranean, wholesome and vegetable-based diet.”

2. Outdoor Workouts

Silvstedt enjoys outdoor workouts over gym sessions. “As for my physique, I try to take a lot of vitamins for my hair and skin,” she says. “And I love working out outdoors like doing some yoga and Pilates every now and then. I prefer to go running outside rather than to workout at the gym.”

3. Celery Juice

Silvstedt is a big fan of celery juice. “Every morning I have celery juice and hot water and lemon,” she says. “I have oatmeal for breakfast and I don’t eat much meat. I try not to eat processed food, fried foods or milk products. And for me that works. We are all trying to find the fountain of youth so I keep looking for it every day. But I swear by the celery juice.”

4. Skiing and Horseback Riding

Silvstedt’s hobbies are skiing, horseback riding, and traveling. “Skiing is good for both experienced skiers and beginners because it works the major muscle groups,” says Betony Garner of the Ski Club of Great Britain. “Also, beginners tend to walk up the slope, rather than using a ski lift - which really works the heart and lungs, making it a good overall workout!”

5. Her Health Mantra

Silvstedt says happiness is key to health and wellness. “Eat clean, sleep well, and exercise moderately every day,” she says. “Enjoying life is another good beauty tip. You'll look better on the outside if you're happy on the inside. Have fun socializing and doing whatever else you enjoy.”

Model Victoria Silvstedt is excited for the weekend. She just posted a stunning new photo on Instagram to celebrate. In it, Silvstedt posed on a boat. She wore a strapless black bathing suit with beads and cut-outs. She captioned the photo, “Have a nice weekend everyone.” How does she stay so fit?
