The Diet & Exercise Secrets Of Victoria's Secret Models Before The Big Show

Elsa Hosk, who this year snagged the coveted role of wearing the $1 million Fantasy Bra on the catwalk, has learned that the best way to approach food is balance. But, as she recently told Elle, "I try to stay away from processed food and eat organic with lots of vegetables and really nourishing foods to keep me strong. You have to eat properly to do the show because it's a lot of energy—and the runway is long!"

Unlike some of her fellow Victoria's Secret stars, Hosk hates lifting weights, preferring a fun cardio routine instead. In the weeks leading up to the big day, she pushes herself to sweat six to seven times a week, and has been working with NYC trainer Megan Roup, who is known for her dance cardio approach. "It's lots of toning moves for the glutes, legs, and arms," Hosk said.
