ess Hart’s iconic
gap-toothed smile has
been gracing magazine
covers for more than
15 years, while her body has
reigned as the quintessentially
Aussie mix of athleticism,
sexiness and “leggy blonde”.
Hart admits genes play a part
in how she looks, but mostly,
she says, it’s hard work. “I’m
more likely to spend seven days
in the gym than eliminate
anything from my diet!”
Hart recently returned to
one of her favourite spots, the
Whitsundays, to appear in
Seafolly’s new campaign – her
second time as ambassador

“I like to switch up my routines.
Not only do I get bored, but if
your body gets used to doing the
same thing over and over, you
don’t advance. You get more
effective results if your muscles
don’t know what’s coming next.
I’ll try all the fitness trends, but
I mostly work with my trainer,
Edmond Adams [of C75NYC,
New York]. Before a big job,
I’ll do a minimum of four days
per week of training.
“I also really believe in
Pilates, which engages those tinylittle muscles in your stomach.
I love that you can progress to
different levels, but more
significantly if your core isn’t
strong, there’s only so far you can
go with your fitness. When doing
a push-up for example, if your
core is not strong you won’t have
the right form and won’t reap
all the benefits of the push-up.
It took me years to learn that.

I have time (we shoot for up to
15 hours a day) I might do a little
circuit in the hotel room: planksFITNESS
