“It’s a fallacy that models are just

“It’s a fallacy that models are
just genetically blessed. Nothing
comes for free and as you
get older, your body’s not going
to stay how you want it to
if you don’t work at it.
“I need to work out as soon
as I get out of bed in the morning
- I get it out of the way. If I
schedule a workout later in the
day I’ll probably end up
cancelling it! Pre-paying sessions
also works for me. I don’t like
spending the money then
cancelling. If you buy a pack of,
say, 10 yoga sessions that you
need to complete within three
months, you’ll go. You need
to find what motivates you
beyond your own willpower.
“I don’t feel ‘pressure’ to
maintain my body. I like working
out and being healthy and feeling
great – it’s not something I do for
my job. It’s just something that
I enjoy. When something like
[this photo shoot] comes up, I
love it because I can use it to
drive me even more. But I think
health and fitness is something
everyone should be focusing on.”
and sit-ups, including bicycle
sit-ups lunges and push-ups.
That’s something I can do without
any help or equipment.
“Before the shoot [pictured
above], I was in New York and had
two weeks to prepare. I said to my
girlfriends, ‘I’m going to be training
every morning, I’ll do it super early,
so you can all go to work after.’
Edmond had four of us training in a
room in the bottom of my building
doing full-circuit training. Generally,
it’s something I’d prefer to bang out
by myself, but it was so much fun.”
“Things you’ll always find in my
fridge: coconut water, Natural
Confectionery Co lollies and
Babybel cheese; my go-to snack
is hummus and crudités.
“I don’t have a food
philosophy – I just love eating.
If I spend a few days dining
on whatever the hell I want
- whether it’s pasta, burgers –
then my body will go, ‘OK, it’s
time for salads and protein.’
“Don’t get me wrong. I’ve
been through it all. I tried the
no-wheat diet, due to my
digestion ... I don’t have the
greatest system ‘down there’. If
I have too much wheat, it slows
everything down. For a long
time, I was wheat-free, but didn’t
want to live like that forever, so
I reintroduced it and now I am
able to process it a lot better.
“I just did a seven-day
liquid fast with my sister, Ash,
as part of the Henri Chenot
program at Palace Merano,
Italy, which was amazing. We
weren’t even hungry, and had
the most incredible time. On the
menu was detox drinks
containing things like psyllium
husks and prune powder, carrot
juices and soup. I had daily
colonics. Mentally, we felt
on top of the world.”
