From Gym to Glamour: How I Stay Fit as a Model

Written by Josephine Skriver on Thu May 30 2024

Hey loves, Josephine here! Today I wanted to chat with you about something that's been on my mind a lot lately - how I manage to stay fit and fabulous as a model. It's not always easy balancing the demands of the runway with staying healthy and strong, but it's all part of the job when you're in this industry.

I start my day bright and early with a trip to the gym. Whether it's lifting weights, doing cardio, or taking a yoga class, getting in some exercise first thing helps me feel energized and ready to take on whatever challenges come my way. Plus, there's nothing like breaking a sweat to get those endorphins flowing!

Of course, working out is just one piece of the puzzle when it comes to staying in shape as a model. Eating right is also super important. I try to fuel my body with lots of fruits and veggies, lean proteins, whole grains, and plenty of water throughout the day. And let me tell you - there's nothing quite like indulging in some dark chocolate every now and then for that little extra treat.

When it comes time for shoots or fashion shows, having toned muscles is key. That means making sure I'm hitting all areas during my workouts - from legs and abs to arms and back. Squats are definitely one of my go-to exercises for keeping everything looking tight and toned.

But let me be real for a second - being a model isn't always sunshine and roses when it comes to fitness goals. There are times when I struggle just like anyone else does: maybe I didn't have enough time for an intense workout that week or perhaps stress got the best of me leading up to an event.

In those moments though,

I remind myself that perfection isn't what matters most – what truly counts is feeling happy & healthy inside your own skin.

So if you ever find yourself struggling too,

just know that we're all human at heart

and remember:

You’re beautiful exactly as YOU ARE!

Until next time lovelies xoxoJosephine
