How to Get a Body Like an Underwear Model

Heidi Klum, a 36-year-old Victoria Secret model and mother of four, has a body most would covet, but creating and maintaining a body worthy of underwear and swimsuit endorsements doesn't come easily, even for someone nicknamed "The Body." Getting a body like an underwear model, for both men and women, requires the right amount of discipline, hard work and self-awareness.

      Eat regularly and nutritionally. According to celebrity trainer Valerie Waters, a balanced and healthy diet should consist of obeying a 90/10 rule -- 90 percent of the time you focus on eating healthy foods, such as low-fat diary products, lean proteins, and fruits and vegetables, while 10 percent of the time you treat yourself with indulgences such as chocolate or pizza. Keeping a regular eating schedule is also important, and eating breakfast is essential. Otherwise, night snacking is too tempting.

      Alternate your workouts and stay active. In order to give your body time to change, you have to alternate your workouts to change your routine. For example, focus on strength training workouts three days a week and intense cardio three days a week. On the seventh day you should rest or complete a low-stress workout such as yoga, walking or leisurely swimming.

      Keep working. Getting a body like an underwear model is the easy part, but maintaining it will require constant work. Making your full-body plan a routine and way of life, as opposed to just a temporary goal, is the way to keep your underwear model body permanently.
