Victoria's Secret Supermodel Miranda Kerr Workout
The last post on VS supermodel workouts was so popular, I thought I should find another one for all you lovely ladies...and because I have been re-motivated to workout after watching the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show last week. I wonder why? Ha-ha. I found Miranda Kerr's weekly workout on Sharieitfitness. It's no cake-walk. She works hard and eats a healthy balanced diet to achieve her slender amazingnessssss. I've also heard that she is a big fan of Yoga!
Here it is:
Miranda usually spends about 90 minutes in the gym, 4 days a week.If you don’t have time for that, try spreading it out over 6 days. She begins with a 15 minute sprint/jog session to get her heart rate up. She'll jog for 2 minutes then sprint for 30 seconds and repeats the process until 15 minutes are up. After her warm-up she'll jump rope -- 5 minutes of regular jumping,followed by 5 minutes of advanced. Advanced jump roping includesdouble skips, one-legged jumps, and knee tucks.
Then it's onto the resistance componentto her routine. Miranda's trainer has her practice snatches,in ladder form. What this means is she’ll lay out 4 dumbbells in increasingweight. She’ll start with the lightest and do 1 rep, then move on to the nextheaviest and so on (weights do not exceed 15 lbs. remember the focus is toning the arms, not bulking-up). Once she’s done all four, she'll start back at the lightestweight and do 2 reps etc. She repeats this process until 10 reps for each weight. Tip: Move fast during the ladder snatch drill to keep your heart rate up and burn more calories.
From here she will spend 20 minutes focusing on lower body toning with a barbell and a few weights. She combines barbell squats, barbelllunges, barbell reverse lunges, and box jumps to make up her lower bodyroutine. She'll do 3 sets of 12 for each kind.
Miranda repeats her jump rope drills foranother 10 minutes at this point. The goal of a circuit training routine is to keep theheart rate high. This burns a massive amount of calories and vastly improvescardiovascular capabilities.
From here it’s back onto the treadmill. Although thistime it will be with a steeper incline. Miranda will spend 3minutes sprinting, 6 minutes walking, and 6 minutes walking backwards.
To recap:
10 minutes: Jump rope – 5 minutes regularjumping, 5 minutes advanced jumping technique
20 minutes: Ladder snatches – see above fordescription
20 minutes: Lower body work – BB squats, BBlunges, BB reverse lunges, box jumps
10 minutes: Jump rope – 5 minutes regularjumping, 5 minutes advanced jumping technique
15 minutes: Inclined treadmill (at LEAST 15degrees) - 3 minutes sprinting, 6 minutes walking, 6 minutes walking backwards

My Favorite Foundation!
I was in need of a new foundation for quite some time. Last weekend I went to South Coast Plaza and had the Bare Escentuals Boutique find a mineral foundation for my hard-to-match skin color. They found one and I love it! I would even dare to say that it's the best foundation I've ever used. Great coverage and it's better for your skin than an oil based liquid foundation.
My skin is on the lighter side...
I got Golden Fair Original SPF 15 Foundation for $26.
Pick your shade and give it a try!
