How does the supermodel approach fitness? Here is everything we know about her workout routine.
1. Pilates
“I have to really work on my stomach,” she told BAZAAR UK, via Elle. “I’ve found Pilates great because it’s slow and controlled and you really have to think about the muscles you’re working.” Why is pilates a good workout? According to the Mayo Clinic there are lots of benefits to the workout, as it “strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility resulting in improved overall health. It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, relief from stress and back pain, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

“Skipping is a really good way to get the heart rate up immediately, I’m always out of breath within two minutes,” Rosie told the publication. “Everything’s on YouTube now, too! You can go on there and type in ‘exercise for 10 minutes’ and see what comes up.”
3. Three Gym Workouts Per Week
“I make it a priority to get to the gym around three times a week. Exercise is a huge stress relief for me, and I always feel good when I leave a workout. Getting there, however, is another story!” Rosie told Poosh. Once she gets there, “I do a lot of weight training, circuit training,” she added Marie Claire.
4. Active, No Matter What
“Working out has been part of my life since I can remember. My mom was a fitness instructor in the nineties—very much like an aerobics instructor with the Princess Diana outfit, the whole thing. I grew up sitting at the back of her workout classes. It always makes me laugh because she used to have an “L”l and “R” written on the top of her trainers so she could tell her left from right. Fitness has played a part in my life ever since I can remember, so once I left home, I started going to the gym every day. Now that I have children, I unfortunately don't get to go every day like I would like to, but I definitely go at least four times a week,” Rosie told Marie Claire.
5. Tracy Anderson Method
Rosie is also a fan of dance-inspired workouts. “When I want something upbeat, I’ll head to Tracy Anderson’s studio and Simone De La Rue at Body By Simone. I love their mix of aerobics and dance – their classes are really intense and challenging.
