Fitness Secrets of Victoria’s Secret Models

I found some comments by Victoria’s Secrets models interesting concerning their fitness and diet. Not many models speak out on their diet and exercise habits. My guess is that there is no exercise regimen and very little eating going on for the typical model. Read what Doutzen Kroes has to say about what she did to prepare for the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show:

To prepare, Dutch 23-year-old beauty Kroes, who says she normally eats what she wants because she exercises often, goes on a strict sugar- and carb-free meal plan and spends many extra minutes a day jumping rope. “For other fashion shows you can be skinny, but for Victoria’s Secret, you need definition,” says Kroes, 23. - By SAMANTHA CRITCHELL, AP

I’m impressed. Like most lingerie models they recognize that they have to be fit. Note that she says that she “exercises often”. Even for models it takes effort to look healthy and fit. Like she says, other fashion models are skinny. They simply don’t eat and they don’t have a shape. I find that look unattractive. The VS models are popular because they are fit, shapely and sexy.

Listen to what Kroes says. She has a fabulous body because she exercises a lot, she goes on a strict healthy diet and she does extra fitness work. If you want to be fit and healthy, there you go.

The Use and Benefits of the Pilates Ring

The Pilates ring was mainly created to help those who cannot perform Pilates standing or are bed ridden. The Pilates ring works on desired body areas from a sitting, sleeping position. It can be used on the arms, legs, buttocks and back with ease.

The Pilates ring is a power tool, which is used even by those that are able to perform standing exercises. The results will not take long to appear when exercises are done three times a week for 30 minutes.

Pilates is very easy to learn and follow but I strongly advise not to practice Pilates without proper guidance. There are a number of choices available today which will bring the knowledge of Pilates in your home such as, online specialized sites, professional DVDs which feature lessons for beginners as well as advanced users and books. Thus, you can exercise and stay in shape in the comfort of your home.

Practice pilates at least three times a week, follow the exercise pattern, which targets the desired areas you wish to work on, and results will not take long to appear. Exercise practiced in the morning time will provide you with energy and a great mood for the entire day.
