If you have ever watched the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, surely you know that the models are very beautiful and confident. Want to be like them?
Step
Part 1 of 3: Sports like Angel
Step 1. Exercise at least three to five times a week
It's clear that no one (even the genetically sexiest Angel) can look like a Victoria's Secret model without hard work and intense exercise. The girls weren't just skinny-they were healthy, fit and strong.
- For most of the year, Victoria's Secret models work out between three and five times per week, for one to two hours per session. Usually they try to vary the exercise session by alternating cardio, muscle toning, and strength training.
- However, ahead of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, the Angels add to their sports so that they can look their best at this special moment. During the two weeks prior to the demonstration, they would typically exercise six times a week, two hours per day, under the supervision of a personal trainer.
Step 2. Do cardio
Cardio is a must if you want to look like a Victoria's Secret model. Cardio workouts serve as a workout for the whole body, helping to get rid of a few extra pounds and improve fitness.
- Choose a cardio workout based on your own preferences-if you find a type of exercise you like, you'll be more likely to get into it.
- Some good cardio exercises to choose from include running (outside or on the treadmill), cycling (static bike classes are fantastic!) and swimming; the point is a sport that makes your heart beat fast!
Step 3. Do bodybuilding exercises
Remember that losing weight alone is not enough; You also need to get into shape toned and strong! The best way to achieve this is (as Angels know) through bodybuilding exercises.
- Angels love Ballet Beautiful; a ballet-inspired fitness class that helps build strong, smooth muscles, improve posture and increase flexibility. Lily Aldridge is a fan, she once said: "It's my go-to."
- High-intensity kickboxing is another favorite exercise, as it provides cardio benefits while also toning the legs and buttocks. Candice Swanepoel is a testament to its benefits.
- They are also fans of yoga and pilates, exercises that help lengthen and strengthen muscles. While strength is important to them, big muscles are not at all desirable. You want a body that looks as lean and feminine as possible.
Step 4. Focus on the abs, legs and buttocks
If your job is to walk briskly in sexy underwear, then slim legs, toned buttocks and a flat stomach are essential. So if you want to look like a Victoria's Secret model, you have to train those body parts.
- For the legs, lunges are an ideal exercise for working the inner and outer thighs. Try doing lunges with a weight of 2.5 to 5 kg in each hand to increase the intensity. For calves, try a calf pulse (tip on tiptoes from a standing position).
- For the buttocks, do squats and deadlifts - these exercises not only give your butt a toned and rounded shape, they also work your legs and torso. But keep in mind, to look like a Victoria's Secret model, you need to look lean, not muscular, so focus on doing lots of repetitions with lighter weights than the other way around.
- To get a flat stomach, be friendly with crunches. Also try reverse crunches and side crunches to work all your abdominal muscles. Planks are also a fantastic exercise for building torso strength. Check out other exercises for toning the abs here.
Step 5. Try to reach the ideal Angel size
It's a good idea to have specific goals when you exercise. And what better goal than achieving the ideal body size of a Victoria's Secret Angel?
- Most Angels have a body size of 86-61-86, meaning they have a chest size of 86 cm, waist 61 cm, and hips 86 cm. This means that Victoria's Secret models have a classic hourglass body shape (bust and hips are at least 25 inches larger than the waist).
- You can try to get as close to them as possible through exercise. But you also have to be realistic – most women won't be able to reach that exact size, as a lot depends on genetics and natural body shape.
- But don't let this dampen your spirits! You can still look as beautiful as Angel without being the same size - just do your best to achieve the best possible body shape for you.
Part 2 of 3: Eat like an Angel
Step 1. Have nutritious smoothies, juices and bars for breakfast
It is important to note that most Angels are not by nature “dietary”, but they eat in a very healthy way and try to eat fresh, organic and "clean" foods as often as possible. Therefore, sweet and fatty foods are not ogled when they have breakfast.
- Several Angels have expressed their love for healthy smoothies and juices for breakfast, as they are healthy, filling and provide plenty of energy to get through the day.
- To start your morning with a fruity breakfast, try blending 1 cup of ice with cup of berries (strawberries, raspberries or blueberries), cup of plain (low-fat) yogurt, 1 small banana, 1 tablespoon of honey and cup of oats.
- For a healthy green juice full of vitamins and nutrients, put 2 green apples, 4 celery stalks, 1 cucumber, 6 kale leaves, lemon and 2 cm of fresh ginger into the juicer.
- If you want a more filling breakfast, combine juice with a nutritional bar, or whip up a small omelet or oatmeal.
Step 2. Eat lean meat and steamed vegetables for dinner
In general, lunch and dinner are more or less the same; lean meat with steamed vegetables or a salad dish.
- Make sure you don't over-steam the vegetables; it actually gets better if it's still a bit raw. Some of the Angels' favorite vegetables are arthicokes, asparagus, broccoli and kale, which they love to sprinkle with salt, herbs and a little olive oil (according to their nutrition adviser, Dr. Charles Passler).
- For protein, choose meats such as chicken, turkey and fish, which are seasoned with herbs, herbs or lemon juice before steaming or grilling.
- Try to stay away from fatty red meat and carbohydrate-laden foods like pasta and bread. Angels love to “eat clean” which means avoiding any processed food and choosing only natural, chemical-free foods.
- It also means staying away from greasy foods like French fries and sweets and desserts. But of course you need to occasionally reward yourself with salty cake or chocolate. It's better than forgetting to eat a lot of cakes at once.
Step 3. Eat a snack every 2 to 3 hours
As previously mentioned, Victoria's Secret models aren't really “dieting”, they're just being careful what kind of food they put in their bodies.
- So you don't have to be hungry to get an Angel-like appearance; in fact, the nutrients they consume encourage them to eat every 2 to 3 hours!
- Eating a snack every 2 to 3 hours helps keep your metabolism running and avoids a drop in blood sugar levels.
- Snacks also help fight cravings for foods that are on the “tempting food list!”
- The recommended snack is half a nutritious bar, a piece of fruit or a handful of almonds.
Step 4. Take supplements for healthy hair, skin and nails
While a diet rich in healthy juices and lots of fresh fruit and vegetables will provide plenty of nutrients and vitamins, it would be best if you take additional dietary supplements so that your hair, skin and nails are not inferior to Angel.
- Consider a versatile vitamin supplement like PHYTO Phytophanere, which helps hair and nails grow faster and stronger, and works to reduce blemishes and minimize pores.
- As an alternative, you can use a water booster, such as the Anti-Oxident Water Booster from Dr. Brandt. This is a kind of vitamin-rich syrup that you can add to your drinking water. This water booster keeps skin clear and healthy, and also provides an additional boost of energy!
- Angel's nutritional advisors also recommend supplements to help the gastrointestinal system work (to prevent bloating and aid weight loss) and supplements that promote muscle function. However, you should talk to your doctor before starting to take this supplement.
- Follow the advice of Angel herself! Miranda Kerr drinks four teaspoons of coconut oil daily to keep her skin and hair healthy and glowing.
Step 5. Drink 2 liters of water daily
You may already know that drinking water is very important, but if you want to look like a Victoria's Secret model, you really need to take this advice seriously!
- Angels drink about 2 liters of water per day; the same as eight glasses. To keep up with them, you may have to carry a water bottle with you all day long!
- Water is very important because it can flush toxins from the body system, increase blood flow and make your skin fresh and glowing!
- You can also increase your water intake by drinking green tea and other herbs (which are full of antioxidants) and eating fruits and vegetables with a high water content, such as cucumbers, tomatoes, watermelon, beets and lettuce.
Part 3 of 3: Dress up like an Angel
Step 1. Make up your face like the Angels
To look like a Victoria's Secret Angel, you have to learn how to apply makeup like them. Angels tend not to go overboard with makeup, they prefer a more radiant and healthy look by using some extra shine and shimmer!
- Try choosing a mineral foundation or powder that matches your skin tone-you don't want your face to look like a mask! Use concealer under your eyes or to cover blemishes on your skin if necessary. Then use a pink blush with a bronze tinge to add a healthy glow to your cheeks.
- Use eye shadow (eyeshadow) with neutral colors such as cream and brown. Then, use an eye pencil or a black or brown liquid (eyeliner), depending on your skin tone, to outline only the upper eyelid. Use mascara of the same color to add volume and firmness to your lashes.
- Angels usually don't wear bold lipsticks, they prefer pink lips and skin tones. Try using a moisturizing lipstick that is only a shade or two lighter or darker than your natural lip color. Stay away from glossy lipstick or anything that is too shiny or shimmery.
Step 2. Have amazing hair
Stunning hair is essential to every Victoria's Secret Angel. Make sure your hair is in good condition by trimming the ends regularly, using a deep conditioner weekly and avoiding overuse of styling tools, such as straight irons, curlers and hair dryers. The better you take care of your hair, the faster it will grow-and you know, long, healthy hair is the hallmark of a Victoria's Secret model.
- When it comes to dressing up, Angels prefer loose curls that look random. To achieve such a hairstyle, make sure your hair is freshly washed and conditioning, and use a serum or hair nourishing oil (such as argan oil) to add shine. Blow dry and blow dry your hair using a round-toothed brush to add extra volume.
- When the hair is dry, spray on a heat protectant and start using a straight iron or curling iron to create large, loose curls (for more specific instructions see here and here. When you're done, spray a little hairspray to make the curls stay longer and you're now ready to go. your own stage!
Step 3. Get a beautiful golden body skin
As you may have noticed, all Angels have beautiful skin that glows as if they had just been out in the sun. Therefore, if you want to look like a Victoria's Secret model, you have to tan your pale skin!
- However, as Angels know, healthy skin is far more important than tan. Therefore, wearing sunscreen is absolutely necessary if you plan to sunbathe by the pool. Otherwise, your skin is at risk of sunburn and dark spots from the sun; not to mention its contribution to wrinkles, premature aging and skin cancer!
- If a natural tan seems like a lot of work, if you have very pale skin, or you just want to avoid sun exposure – don't fret! You can get a natural looking tan from the bottle. Just make sure you've exfoliated well before using a darkening product.
Step 4. Have perfect white teeth
White teeth, perfectly straight is another attribute that must be owned by an Angel. Practice good oral health care by brushing your teeth 2 to 3 times a day, flossing regularly and avoiding sugary foods and drinks.
- You should also try to visit the dentist twice a year. Dentists can clean your teeth well, removing stains or plaque that are impossible to remove at home. It also makes your teeth appear whiter!
- If necessary, you can also request a teeth whitening treatment such as laser or bleaching. The price may be quite expensive, but if you really want a sparkling white smile, the results will be worth it. The same goes for braces-if your teeth are crooked, ask your dentist for options for straightening them.
Step 5. Choose clothes that make an impression
Victoria's Secret models are classy women, and even though they spend a lot of time in only their underwear, they still look glamorous and elegant; not cheap at all.
- Try to emulate their way of everyday life by wearing neat and well-fitting clothes to highlight your feminine side. Think wide-pipe jeans, shirts, or short A-cut dresses and skirts that hug the waist. Wear simple jewelry and opt for short heels or pretty flat shoes.
- The most important thing is to wear clothes that fit you. Don't wear clothes that are too small thinking they'll make you look thinner-in fact, it has the opposite effect. Always try on the clothes you want to buy first and ask a trusted friend who can give you an honest opinion.
- The appearance of the Angels is always perfect even when they are relaxing. Wear sportswear (such as comfortable and stylish Victoria's Secret tracksuits), keeping your hair neat even if it's in a ponytail.
- Of course, an Angel wouldn't be complete without Victoria's Secret underwear! Don't be afraid of sexy underwear; The sexy underwear is designed to make you feel beautiful, even with jeans and a t-shirt! Again, wear the right size, this is important because undergarments that are too small can bulge and crease in the wrong places, while a size that is too large will not provide the support you need.
Step 6. Be a beautiful woman inside and out
Victoria's Secret Angels are not only some of the most beautiful women in the world, they are also known for their friendliness, kindness and overall amazing personality! These are attributes that you can easily apply in your daily life. Smiles and kindness are able to radiate beauty-like an Angel!
Tips
- You can use body butter every day to keep your skin hydrated and glowing.
- If exercise is tiring for you, start with a few minutes for the minimum amount needed, and slowly increase the intensity.
- Eat lots of small meals throughout the day to keep your metabolism running. This method helps you burn fat and lose weight.
- You don't have to be golden brown to be beautiful! There are a lot of pale skinned and black women out there who are still amazing!
- You don't have to have big breasts to be beautiful. But if you really want an extra size, wear a bra with wire and/or extra foam.
- Take dance classes like ballet, tap, jazz, hip-hop, and so on. Dancing can keep you active and fit.
Warning
- Don't torture yourself to starve! It's not worth it. The healthiest way to get in better shape is to eat small portions a day and exercise frequently.
- Avoid implants as they can cause complications and will look fake. Love your natural body, it's better than artificial.
- Don't tan your skin in a dangerous way! You could get skin cancer (worst risk) years later. Today many Victoria's Secret models are pale or black. Natural skin tones are still the best.
