MODEL ROSIE HUNTINGTON-WHITLEY WORKS OFF HER THANKSGIVING FEAST AT PILATES





It's nice to know that even genetically blessed supermodels need to work hard to stay in shape! Model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, one of the top models in the world, was spotted leaving a Pilates class in LA on Monday. We reckon she was trying to work off the Thanksgiving feast she would have eaten over the weekend! 

The 28-year-old looked very long and lean as she left the Pilates studio, wearing all black which showed her off her amazing figure and very toned and tight derriere. The Victoria Secret model 's trainer, James Duigan, reveals that when Rosie is not attending Pilates classes, she is working on her core by doing core-strengthening exercises instead of the traditional setup or ab crunch, which sounds just like more Pilates to us! 

 “It’s not sit-ups that get you a flat stomach, it’s planks and twists, where you actively practise pulling your stomach in – this is a habit that needs to be learned,” Duigan says.  He adds it is also important to manage your stress, as the stress hormone cortisol stores fat around your stomach and makes you crave sugar because your body thinks you need it. 
In addition to Pilates, Rosie works on her cardio with hiking and running. She also likes to go to Yoga classes when she has time. Her trainer advises her to take a fish oil tablet, which burns fat around the mid-section and reduces inflammation in the body.  “Rosie makes a mean guacamole, which is a filling and nutrient-dense snack,” Duigan says. “About half an avocado a day is the perfect way to include fat-fighting food in your diet.”
The famous Brit model has learnt over the years how important being fit is for her health. Rosie says: “It’s so simple to get into shape, have more energy and glowing skin by eating the right food. James has taught me that looking your best comes from having good health. Health reflects in your skin, body and hair and gives you a natural glow.”

VICTORIA SECRET MODEL BEHATI PRINSLOO GETS RUNWAY READY WITH PILATES




Behati Prinsloo is getting runway ready for the Victoria Secret 2014 fashion show with lots of Pilates, Yoga and no bread! The 25-year-old stunner has upped her exercise routine, which means more of her favourite exercise, Pilates, and less of one of her favourite foods, bread. 

"When it's (the annual Victoria Secret fashion show) a month away, I try to do something active every day and focus on nutrition. Right now, I'm trying to eliminate bread - that's always my big problem," Behati laughed to the American edition of OK! magazine.

Prinsloo's toned and taut physique has ensured her a major spot in the world famous fashion show for the past five years. The Namibian model works hard to maintain her enviable figure and is committed to her diverse exercise regime. 

"Some girls do boxing, others do Zumba; it's really about what works for your body. I love Pilates and yoga, which are great for long, lean muscles, plus a little running and light weights." Behati also likes to swim, paddle board and surf when she gets the chance. 

Trim Behati admits that Pilates is her staple form of exercise. "I try to do Pilates all year round," she recently told a source. She also goes to the gym, where "a trainer kicks my butt when its needed". 

Prinsloo reveals that her husband, Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine, helps to keep her dedicated when it comes to exercise, as the couple frequently work out together. "He (Adam) motivates me a lot, and it's great to have him around before the show. We're both pretty active, so it makes our relationship a lot of fun." Behati says that she loves having a husband who understands the need for exercise and living a healthy lifestyle.
