Supermodels make a living looking a very specific way, and they train for runways just like athletes train for sports competitions and games. But how do they keep up their wellness routines when they aren’t working? Just ask models such as Elle Macpherson, Vanessa Williams, Tyra Banks, and others who combined specific diets and workouts to get into the best shape of their lives. Here are the secrets behind their stunning physiques—no crazy diets required!


1. Alessandra Ambrosio

Alessandra Ambrosio, 42, is not a fan of restrictive diets. “Whenever I start to diet, everything goes downhill,” she says. “So if I want a little bite of dark chocolate on a plane or a cocktail with friends on the weekend, I’ll have it. In fact, I’ll drink a glass of red wine with dinner most nights, and two or three times a week I’ll have a cup of tea and a cupcake with [my daughter] Anja.” Ambrosio swears by Pilates for her stunning physique. “It's important to break a sweat every day, and I love the way Pilates makes me feel long and lean," she says.

2. Iman

Iman, 67, gained a few pounds during the pandemic lockdowns and intends to keep them. “People keep wanting to be extremely skinny with no body fat,” she says. “As you get older that shows in your face and hands. You lose the collagen. People run to get fillers and stuff like that. I'm intending to keep the 8 lbs… Just because you are over 50 and you put on five pounds, dear Lord, let's not stress over that!” The supermodel stays active for both health and wellness. “I started really started working out around 30,” she says. “I stay in shape by boxing and hiking.”

3. Cindy Crawford

Cindy Crawford, 57, works out with a trainer and eats plenty of vegetables. “Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays are my usual workout days,” she says. “I have a trainer come in and we do stairs and weights. I’m kind of old-school with the workouts because that's what works for my body. Monday is my sacred day when I use the infrared sauna down in my gym. When I get out of the sauna and I take a shower I always feel like it's as clean as I'll get. You sweat out all of the toxins and then you do a cold blast in the shower. Then I really feel like I’m ready to go.”

4. Elle Macpherson

Elle Macpherson, 59, is happiest when she’s working out in the fresh air. “I believe in maintenance, I’m not a big binge and purge person,” she says. “I think it’s really important to maintain wellness year-round. Not because it looks good but it actually feels good – which is really important when you’re running a business and you’ve got kids and a full life. It’s easy – I just make good choices and I enjoy the choices that I make. I really enjoy a plant-based diet, I love vegetables… I do sports like water skiing, running, cycling, swimming laps, snow skiing if it’s winter, walking the dogs – I just love to be outdoors.”

5. Vanessa Williams

Vanessa Williams, 60, says her best advice for fitness is to stay active. "Just eating as clean as you possibly can when you have a goal to attain," she says. "If I wanted to drop a few pounds for any kind of event or red carpet, you cut out alcohol, you cut out sugar, you cut out carbs. Juicing, hot water and lemon -- those are all great cleansers to keep you hydrated ... nowadays it's so easy to get organic products, whether they are seaweed snacks or anything. I try to do something everyday, whether it's taking a class or jumping on the treadmill. Also, yoga, just trying to keep moving for sure."

6. Tyra Banks

Tyra Banks, 49, uses food journals to keep herself accountable without having to count calories. “I used to feel like my body was not mine,” Banks says. “I’ve been too thin or too big. And I used to feel like I was betraying people if I lost weight. I do not believe in diets. I have been on diets in the past. They are a bunch of bologna. This is a lifestyle change. It’s not about being skinny. It’s about being in the best shape you can be.”

7. Claudia Schiffer

Claudia Schiffer, 52, loves taking walks with her family. “We eat seasonal, locally grown fruit and vegetables that are pesticide-free, and organically produced meat and dairy from local farms,” she says. “I start my day with quinoa, pineapple, almond slithers and fresh almond milk with dates in it. Lunch usually consists of vegetables and a small amount of turkey, chicken or fish, and it’s the same for dinner. Snacks are sheep’s or goat’s yogurt with banana, chia seeds and flax seeds, and treats are always chocolate, a great red wine or my favorite Leoube rosé. I also love the traditional old-fashioned German stews that my mother used to cook for me, which I now have when I’m with my siblings in Hamburg.”

8. Irina Shayk

Irina Shayk, 37, is not a fan of what she calls traditional cardio. “Running is my worst nightmare, so I’ve had to find something I enjoy that gets me all the calorie-burning benefits of cardio without boring me to death,” she says. “I started jiu-jitsu with my personal trainer and it’s great. It’s a Japanese self-defense discipline, but because there’s so many possible move combinations, it’s brilliant for constantly challenging my body and pushing it to exhaustion every time. I do it four times a week when I’m at home in New York, then if I’m traveling I try to work out in my hotel room or at work during breaks, focusing on simple barre moves that don’t need any equipment and really work my arms and bum.”

9. Lauren Hutton

Lauren Hutton, 79, loves diving, trekking, and other outdoors activities. “For breakfast, I have oatmeal and fruit salad with yogurt and honey and nuts, or huevos rancheros,” she says. “In L.A., there's a place that has a great seeded bialy with harissa, a soft fried egg, and arugula. That's a weakness. I take off the thicker slice of bread. I don't want to eat too much bread. I check my weight every day, so if I find that it's going north, I try to just eat either protein and vegetables or carbohydrates and vegetables. You don't want to mix protein and carbohydrates because that's when it sticks to you. I do that for three or four days, and it changes my weight very quickly.”

10. Heidi Klum

amfAR Gala Cannes 2023 - ArrivalsMike Marsland/WireImage

Heidi Klum, 50, tries to maintain a balanced lifestyle, and spends as much time as possible being active rather than hitting the gym. “The myth that models don’t eat is totally not true,” she says. “I just think that because we’re in this business, we have to choose more wisely... It’s not just about doing the cardio so that you’re nice and fit, and slim and trim, but your heart needs to pump, too. I love my shape because it’s mine. At the end of the day, it’s not what anyone else thinks about my body but how I feel about myself. I’m working it and owning it!”

Victoria’s Secret has evolved into a body-inclusive brand in recent years. However, for decades the runway of the annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show earned the reputation of showcasing only the fittest bodies in the world – stringent even by supermodel standards. For weeks and even months leading up to the big show, models busted their behinds to get in tip-top shape, some going to extreme measures in hopes of slipping into the coveted Fantasy Bra. Here are 7 women who got super fit for Victoria’s Secret, and what they did to get ready for the big event.


1. Kendall Jenner

At the age of 17, Kendall Jenner had Victoria’s Secret aspirations, so she hired trainer Autumn Calabrese to get her ready for the show. “She was 17, so she had about six months until she could legally sign the Victoria’s Secret contract, and she is very naturally lean, she is very tall, obviously beautiful,” the trainer told Life & Style. “So, for her, it was more about just staying lean and toned. We focused on a lot of toning exercises for her legs, for her hips, for her abdominals, we did everything. We weight trained, but we didn’t go super heavy on the weights — we kept it in higher reps, so it was a little bit lighter weights going for that definition even though girls can’t really bulk up.”

2. Martha Hunt

London,,Uk.,December,10,,2018:,Martha,Hunt,At,The,FashionShutterstock

Martha Hunt has hit Victoria’s Secret’s catwalk multiple times, maintaining that she does various workouts to prep for it. "I do a mix of things, like Pilates and barre, high impact and low impact," she told E! News of training with Sculpt Society creator Megan Roup. "This year, I set a goal for myself to improve my squat form, which I've been able to accomplish and I'm really proud of that. I've been doing a lot of squats and overall stretching and strength conditioning with my trainer."

3. Elsa Hosk

Los,Angeles,-,Apr,23:,Elsa,Hosk,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Elsa Hosk also does Sculpt Society. "I did something different this year," she told E! News. "I try to mix up every year, because I get bored with the same workouts. Last year, I did a lot of boxing. This year, I'm doing a lot of dance cardio with this girl Megan. She's really great with toning, keeping it fun and coming up with new moves every time we work out, so I think it's good to balance it and do it as much as you can, but just like mix it up."

4. Sara Sampaio

Sara Sampaio is all about five-day-a-week workouts. However, before the show, she tries to avoid carbs like pizza, bread, and pasta, but ahead of the lingerie fest, "I cut down on that," she dished to Us Weekly, "and eat a lot of chicken, fish, fruit and veggies."

5. Adriana Lima

Adriana Lima works out all year long. "But I kick it up a little bit leading up to the show," she told British Vogue. Her pre-show workout involves a mix of boxing and cardio and workouts at The Dogpound/ "People say that we train like Olympic athletes," she added, "and I think although obviously it's a much different goal, we do work very hard to achieve how we want to look and feel as we walk down the runway for millions of people."

6. Georgia Fowler

Georgia Fowler dished to Women's Health that she amps up her produce intake. In fact, fruits and veggies make up 80 percent of her pre-show diet along with 10 percent fat and 10 percent protein. "I [have] an avo a day, lots of nuts, lots of fish," she said, "and then just fruit and veg. I limit dairy and excess carbs, basically. No processed food."

7. Stella Maxwell

I’ll do planks, I’ll do different types of sit-ups, anything that’s for my core because I have scoliosis. I do a lot of glute work: kickbacks, squats, fire hydrants. Cardio, I’ll do maybe three times a week. When I was in Puerto Rico, I’d run outside because it gave me a nice view to be outdoors and running in between palm trees. I haven’t done Muay Thai in over a year now, and I’m starting to miss it. I believe a girl should always be able to throw a good punch. It’s a good self-defense.”

What you feed your spirit is what guides you. Staying positive and on top of the regimens that keep you shining is what will keep you confident that your self-care is working. If you wake up with a blah attitude, your day will be blah. But if you energize your day looking forward to what the world has to offer, your day will make you smile.”

We do a combination of booty kicks and leg raises mixed with some ballet movements like plies. I have never felt a burn like that in my life!”

12. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

After having her second child, Doutzen Kroes talked about how she lost the baby weight in a 2015 interview with Grazia. “It was hard to find the time to work out, but for my job I have to. I would work out, but I would also have my teacher come to my place so I could do pilates at home. I gave birth end of July and then I had the Victoria’s Secret show in November, four months later, so I started around the beginning of October because you can’t start too early because of your abs and you have to be careful. I was doing exercises from October, and did a lot with LA Beautiful in New York and mixed in pilates and biking.”

17. Lily Aldridge

Los,Angeles,-,Mar,12:,Lily,Aldridge,At,The,2023Shutterstock

Winnie Harlow shared her approach to fitness with British Vogue. “If I meet a new trainer, I always let them know that I love to stretch, and if they just make me put my arms up above my head and hold them for a few seconds I have to switch trainers.

Lais Ribeiro shared some of her skincare and beauty secrets with Byrdie. “I don’t really try to use too much stuff. I use honey, which is good for everything. It gets rid of dark spots when you have pimples, and makes your face really fresh. So, literally the honey that you eat, I apply to that to my skin and it balances bacteria and accelerates the healing of skin cells. I use it as a mask [twice a week], so after cleaning my face I put it on and leave it for 20 minutes and then wash off."

2. Lais Ribeiro

Los,Angeles,-,Nov,15:,Lais,Ribeiro,At,The,#revolveawardsShutterstock

Lais Ribeiro talked about her wellness journey with Byrdie. “I’m a lucky girl that I used to eat everything and nothing would happen and now because I’m getting older, I see the changes. Not because of my body but because of my health, especially with the coronavirus, your immune system...you need to boost it up. I’ve been doing sauna and ice because my fiancé is an athlete and he has such good habits. I also found this new underwater workout, XPT Life, where you put the weights under the water and you do squats, lunges, and jumps—it’s really good for your respiratory system.”

3. Sara Sampaio

Los,Angeles,-,Feb,9:,Josephine,Skriver,At,The,28thShutterstock

Josephine Skriver shared some of her workout secrets with Vogue. In it, she said that she got some advice from her fellow Victoria’s Secret Angel. “Jasmine Tookes got me into lifting weights. I had never seen my body change so quickly. I like to train and lift weights three to five days a week as I find it the best stress release or go for a boxing session. I used to go to an authentic boxing gym but I just want to sweat and get boxing fitness so now I see a friend if I’m in Nashville or I go to Dogpound in New York. When I travel I always ask if I can stay in a hotel with a gym but if they don’t have one I just train in my room and do chair dips and do exercise with my body weight. I travel with my ankle cables and resistance bands so that I can do something.”

5. Elsa Hosk

Los,Angeles,-,Nov,15:,Candice,Swanepoel,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

8. Heidi Klum

Los,Angeles,,Ca,-,Mar,4,,2023:,Heidi,Klum,AtShutterstock

Heidi Klum tells Glamour that her wellness is a year-round thing. “I pretend it's bikini season all year and regularly make healthy decisions. My favorite workout is a long run along the Westside Highway, which stretches along the Hudson River in New York City...it's a beautiful path, and you always feel surrounded by such an amazing community. You see the same people running every morning, and they inspire me to keep going. That and knowing there is a Starbucks coffee at the end of the route!”

9. Martha Hunt

London,,Uk.,December,10,,2018:,Martha,Hunt,At,The,FashionShutterstock

I do different things—Pilates, barre, Physique 57 yoga, outside sports, all kinds of things. The last week, I do eat differently, yes. I cut the carbs and the sugar, and I eat protein, but I don't know whether cheese is considered a carb. I could never survive without cheese.”

11. Lily Aldridge

Los,Angeles,-,Mar,12:,Lily,Aldridge,At,The,2023Shutterstock

Lily Aldridge also shared her fashion show prep with Allure. “About two months in advance, I'll start amping up my workouts and changing my diet slightly,” she says. “And I'll go to two workouts a day. I'll do Ballet Beautiful and Pilates—it just depends on which city I'm in. In Nashville, I'll do Pilates, and here, I do Ballet Beautiful. I eat a lot of protein and vegetables. I love to make myself roast chicken. And I feel good now. I feel confident and ready for the runway."

12. Taylor Hill

Los,Angeles,-,Dec,15:,Taylor,Hill,Arrives,For,TheShutyterstock

Taylor Hill tells Harper’s Bazaar that she works with trainer Lauren Duhamel to keep herself in shape. “We do a lot of muscle-isolation exercises where you do slow, controlled movements for certain areas of your body that you're trying to target," she said. "It's hard because you have a lot more little muscles than you think you do. When you activate them, it's one of the hardest things I've ever done in my life. My whole body was quivering. I can't control my shaking; it's crazy."

13. Stella Maxwell

Los,Angeles,-,Mar,12:,Stella,Maxwell,At,The,2023Shutterstock

Stella Maxwell shared her wellness tips in an interview with HollywoodLife. “For me, the mind and body are the keys,” she says. “A healthy mind equals a healthy body.

14. Erin Heatherton

New,York-feb,5:,Model,Erin,Heatherton,Attends,The,2014,AmfarShutterstock

Erin Heatherton opened up about her diet in an interview with People. “I always eat healthy because you don’t want to dig yourself in a hole,” says Heatherton. “The best diet is to focus on what you should be eating, and knowing how the foods you’re eating are helping you be healthier and look more beautiful.

15. Chanel Iman

Los,Angeles,-,Mar,17:,Chanel,Iman,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Chanel Iman is all about self-care. She shared her favorite things to do in an interview with W Magazine. “Taking some time for yourself is always necessary. I like to write, so I always write down my thoughts and everything that’s going on in my life in my journal. That really helps me mentally. And talking to someone as well—I always think everybody needs someone to talk to.”

16. Barbara Palvin

Antibes,,France.,May,17,,2018:,Barbara,Palvin,At,The,25thShutterstock

Barbara Palvin shared some of her favorite workouts with Us Weekly. She says that she loves doing reverse lunges with a stability ball, as it comes in handy for photoshoots. “You have the ball, you put one leg on it and one behind you. So you bend down straight and put your leg back straight, stand up and then go down. You do that eight times, both legs, and actually if you do it before a shoot, for example, it really lifts your butt.”

17. Jac Jagaciak

Paris,,France,-,October,03:,Jac,Jagaciak,Walks,The,RunwayShutterstock

In the same Allure interview, Jac Jagaciak revealed that she doesn’t have a specific routine for getting ready for the Victoria’s Secret Show. “It's more that I work out almost every day, and normally I only do it three times a week,” she explained. “I do a little bit of boxing, a little bit of Pilates. It's a mix of things. And I just eat healthy, three proper meals a day and then some snacks in between. What would I avoid? Uh, probably dairy. I don't really eat dairy so much anymore. I think dairy makes you a little bloated. And I think people really just found out lately, it's not really good for your body, so I trust that."

18. Behati Prinsloo

Los,Angeles,-,Nov,04:,Behati,Prinsloo,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Behati Prinsloo makes sure to take care of her skin. She shared her secrets with The Cut. “For my morning skin-care routine, I’ll start by washing my face. I use a nice eye cream, and then the essence. If it’s daytime, I’ll do an oil-free SPF. Sometimes I’ll add a BB cream to get a little color. I like to curl my lashes because I don’t always put on mascara.”

19. Romee Strijd

Cannes,,France.,May,08,,2018:,Romee,Strijd,At,The,GalaShutterstock

Romee Strijd shared her workout secrets in an interview with ELLE. “What I always fit in my workout schedule is running, incline walks and stairs. So I would say going on a treadmill, run 15 minutes, 15 minutes incline walk, run 15 minutes, 15 minutes incline walk. That will make you sweat, but you will feel energised.”

20. Adriana Lima

Los,Angeles,-,Mar,27:,Adriana,Lima,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

The longest-running Angel, Adriana Lima, shared her workout secrets with Life & Style. “I do like three times a week of functional training and three times a week of boxing. Soon I will be implementing Pilates and possibly yoga. I love working out.”

I worked out for an hour every consecutive day for a couple of weeks and it was enough that I really started to see the benefits, which I’d never really done before.

I'm doing it, it's not as high-level, but I like where I'm at with it now. It's fun, it's medicinal, and I'm not being hard on myself.

"The buddy system is definitely up there at the top of how I stay motivated."

Sharvari isn’t just making waves in the film industry—she’s dominating the fitness game too. Known for her roles in Munjya, Maharaj, and Vedaa, the rising star proves that strength and discipline extend far beyond the big screen.
In her latest Instagram post, Sharvari showcased her grit with a hardcore beach workout, flipping a massive tire in the sand. Dressed in a sleek black workout set, she didn’t just make the workout look effortless—she made it look empowering. Adding a playful pun to her caption, she wrote, “Never tyre’d of a good beach workout.”
So, how does she stay in such incredible shape? From strength training to boxing, here’s a look at her go-to fitness moves.

She Strength Trains

In her Instagram post, Sharvari is seen doing a strength training exercise. The Mayo Clinic says that strength training has a lot of benefits. “Strength training can help you manage or lose weight, and it can increase your metabolism to help you burn more calories. Strength training may enhance your quality of life and improve your ability to do everyday activities. Strength training can also protect your joints from injury. Building muscle also can contribute to better balance and may reduce your risk of falls. This can help you maintain independence as you age.”

She Does Yoga

Sharvari shares a lot of her favorite workouts on Instagram. One thing she likes to do is yoga. Sharvari posted this video of herself doing poses on her page. John Hopkins Medicine states that yoga is very beneficial. “Regular yoga practice may reduce levels of stress and body-wide inflammation, contributing to healthier hearts. Several of the factors contributing to heart disease, including high blood pressure and excess weight, can also be addressed through yoga.”

She Plays Padel

Sharvari likes to play padel to keep herself in shape. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself on the court. Playing padel has a lot of health benefits. Everybody Health & Leisure says, “It improves cardiovascular fitness, helps to build strength and endurance, enhances coordination and promotes overall physical and mental well-being. Not to mention, it’s a fantastic way to burn calories.”

She Boxes

Another thing that Sharvari does to keep herself in shape is box. She first picked this up when training for the film, Vedaa. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself punching a bag. Sharvari captioned the post, “BEAST MODE on for Vedaa! ⚠️☠️🥊 Took up boxing to become Vedaa... Now I am ready to pack a punch or be strong enough to take a brutal beating 💪#Vedaa coming to a theatre near you on August 15th.”

She Runs

Sharvari likes to run to keep herself in shape. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself running on the beach. She captioned the post, “Decided to seas the day!” Better Health says that running is very beneficial. “Regular running or jogging offers many health benefits. Running can: help to build strong bones, as it is a weight bearing exercise, strengthen muscles, improve cardiovascular fitness, burn plenty of kilojoules, help maintain a healthy weight.”

Natasa Stankovic in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shares "Wednesday Challenge"

Stankovic shares her go-to workout moves, from squats to lunges, cardio, Pilates, and strength training.

Entertainment India - March 2023
Prodip Guha/Getty Images

Natasa Stankovic isn’t just a content creator—she’s a fitness inspiration. Known for sharing intense workout sessions on Instagram, she keeps her followers motivated with creative exercise challenges and dynamic routines.

In her latest post, Stankovic teamed up with Aleksandar Illic for a lower body blast, pushing through variations of squats and lunges. Dressed in a sleek two-piece workout set, she captioned the session, “Wednesday challenge,” proving that fitness is all about consistency and fun.

So, how does she maintain her lean, strong physique? From strength training to Pilates, here’s a look at Stankovic’s go-to workout moves.

She Does Squats

Stankovic does squats to keep herself in shape, as you can see in her Instagram video. Piedmont says that this exercise has a lot of health benefits. “Whether you’re hoping to tone your muscles, strengthen your core or just improve overall health, squats are one of the best exercises you can do. Although the movements appear relatively simple, squats can take time to master. Joel Hardwick, ACSM EP-C, EIM2, an exercise physiologist at Piedmont Atlanta Fitness Center, says practice will pay off…Hardwick explains that squats are a compound, multi-joint movement, which means they exercise several muscle groups. When you perform a squat, you work your calves, quads, hamstrings, glutes, core and part of your back.”

She Does Lunges

Stankovic is also seen doing lunges in her Instagram video. The Mayo Clinic reports that lunges are very beneficial to do. “The lunge is a body resistance exercise that works the leg muscles. Specifically, the lunge targets the quadriceps and the hamstring muscles in the thigh, the gluteal muscles in the buttock, and to a lesser extent, the lower leg muscles. The lunge is a great conditioning exercise for many sports, especially those that involve lunging movements, such as tennis, basketball or soccer.”

She Does Cardio

Stankovic likes to do cardio workouts to keep herself in shape. She shared this video of herself doing fast box jumps in different directions on Instagram. Stankovic captioned it, “Morning cardio challenge.” Cardio exercises have a lot of benefits. The Cleveland Clinic says, “When you work your heart and other muscles of your body during cardio exercise, this increases oxygen supply to your whole body, allowing all muscles to work harder and more efficiently. Over time, regular cardio exercise allows your muscles to adapt to an increased workload, making regular activities seem easier.”

She Does Pilates

Stankovic shares a lot of her favorite workouts in an Instagram story highlight. In some of the stories, she is seen doing Pilates exercises on a reformer. Pilates is very beneficial. The Cleveland Clinic says, “One of the reasons Pilates is such a good workout is that it specifically focuses on building core strength.”

She Strength Trains

Stankovic likes to strength train to keep herself in shape. She shared this Instagram story of herself using dumbbells. ACE Fitness says that strength training and using weights has a lot of health benefits. “Strength training with heavy weights improves muscle definition. Muscle definition occurs as the result of muscles remaining in a state of semi-contraction and heavy strength training recruits the larger type II muscle fibers responsible for a muscle’s appearance.”

Kim French in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shares "Real Results" Workout

Learn how she sculpts her powerhouse physique with deadlifts, lunges, squats, and more.

Kim French is more than just a personal trainer—she’s a fitness coach who empowers thousands through her Believe App and Instagram workouts. Known for her structured, effective home training plans, she proves that you don’t need a gym full of heavy weights to build serious strength.

In a recent Instagram post, French shared a glimpse of her at-home training, reminding followers that smart training delivers "REAL results." Rocking a sleek two-piece workout set, she showcased some of her go-to exercises, emphasizing that with the right strategy, anyone can see progress.

So what’s in her routine? From deadlifts to hip thrusts, here’s how French sculpts her powerhouse physique.

She Does Deadlifts

French is seen doing deadlifts in her Instagram post. This exercise has a lot of benefits. NASM says, “A Romanian deadlift is a hip-hinge pattern that works the hamstrings and glutes. It is a form of deadlift with noticeably less bend in the knee, leading to greater hamstring engagement than traditional deadlifts. The move was introduced to the masses in the 90s by Romanian weightlifter Nicu Vlad (an Olympic and World Weightlifting champion) and his coach Dragomir Cioroslan. The two invented the move to help Nicu strengthen his back for the clean and jerk. Today, RDLs are commonly used to strengthen the posterior chain, using the core muscles to stabilize and the hamstrings and glutes to drive the movement.”

She Does Lunges

Another exercise that French is seen doing in her Instagram post is lunges. NASM says that they are very beneficial. “The lunge is a versatile, simple and effective movement for lower body training. Various positions, planes of motion and speeds can all yield different training adaptations for the exerciser. Lunges are the gift that keeps on giving!”

She Does Squats

French is seen doing squats in her Instagram video. According to The Cleveland Clinic, squats are very beneficial. “Here’s a quick look at the many benefits of squats, also known as bodyweight squats or air squats: Works major muscle groups. Burns calories. Strengthens your core. Improves lower body strength. Enhances stability and balance. Betters your posture.”

She Does Hamstring Curls

French is seen doing hamstring curls in her Instagram post. According to The Mayo Clinic, hamstring curls are very beneficial. “The seated hamstring curl is an exercise you can do with a weight machine to work the muscles in the back of the thigh. As the name implies, the seated hamstring curl targets the hamstring muscles here in the back of the thigh. Strong hamstring muscles help to protect your ligaments in the knee.”

She Does Hip Thrusts

French shared this video on Instagram of herself doing hip thrusts. She captioned it, “Hip Thrusts are no doubt one of the best exercises for building your Glutes but of course with any exercise, the form has to be correct for you to see the maximum benefits…✖️ Feet too far forwards will engage your hamstrings more ✖️ Feet too close to you will engage your quads more ✔️ Feet placed so your calves are vertical will engage your glutes more.”
