We Invented Online Portfolios for Models and Actors in 1995 - Enough Dreaming. It's Time to Be a Star!

Genetic makeup is, of course, one factor for the über gorgeous bodies that supermodels possessed. But supermodels are still human and through time, their body gradually changes as affected by different roles they play outside the fashion world, especially motherhood.

Good thing these supermodels are coming out clean about their diets and workout regimens. Gone are the times when these gorgeous women brush off their shoulders and say “Oh, it’s just genetics!” Now, they are more open to the efforts they give for staying fit and maintaining their postures with the help of expensive trainers.

Should they be blamed for trying to fit into the ridiculous industry standards? Or are they just inspiring us ordinary people by living up to that old saying that goes “If you want it, work for it”?

Gisele Bündchen
Her present workout regimen includes Kung Fu, pilates, and yoga. She has admitted to treating her body poorly in 2009 – eating cheeseburgers all day, smoking packs of cigarettes, and drinking a lot of red wine. Then she has come to a realization that she’s treating her body as an enemy that has to be punished. She has had a change of lifestyle and engaged herself into sports. She has done very athletic regimen of running, jumping and water-resistance training. She has admitted to taking fitness seriously during her pregnancy. “I did Kung Fu up until two weeks before Benjamin was born, and yoga three days a week. I think a lot of people get pregnant and decide they can turn into garbage disposals.”

Doutzen Kroes
A voluptuous supermodel of Victoria’s Secret, her secret to staying fit is weight training and eating in moderation. Being a lingerie model, she is not pressured by the slim standard of the high-fashion runways. She indulges herself in chocolates but still maintains her ripped physique by weight training. “Many personal trainers say that the most effective way to lose the last few inches of fat off the body is to tone and strengthen the muscles. Not only will you be burning off more calories every day with this extra muscle but also you will be standing more confidently and you will feel stronger. In any case you can always stop doing weight workouts if you think you are becoming too muscular.”

Anja Rubik
This yoga practitioner also eats regularly, but in smaller portions. She avoids dairy on her diet and drinks a lot of water and green tea. A rising catwalk diva with lots of appointments that require traveling by plane, she finds yoga helpful to her runway shows. “I’ve been practicing yoga for three years. It helps me relax mentally and focuses my mind. It can also do amazing things physically; it keeps me fit and helps my balance and focus. My job involves a lot of sitting on airplanes and a lot of walking in high heels! I find yoga helps with both.”

Eniko Mihalik
This Hungarian supermodel with natural slim figure avoids working out too much so as not to slim down more. To maintain her physique, she just walks on treadmill regularly and does boxing with light weights. “I can’t work out too much because after two weeks I look like I’ve been training for a year. My new thing is to walk on the treadmill while boxing with light weights, listening to fast music. It looks funny but it works.”

Daniella Sarahyba
At a young age of 22, this Brazilian Sports Illustrated model does not take her workout too seriously. She says she just wants to have fun while doing flexible workouts, like walking and yoga. “With all the traveling I do, it’s very hard to have a regular workout routine, so I try to do activities like walking and yoga that I can do almost anywhere when I have the time.” Her diet, on the other hand, includes coconut water and avoiding carbo at night. “When I’m in Brazil, I drink coconut water, because people say it’s good for the skin. I generally try to eat a healthy diet, and one thing I’m really careful about is not eating carbohydrates at dinner. It’s too late, and I never feel good the next day if I do that.”
