Once a model, always a model definitely rings true for Paulina Porizkova

She showed off her sculpted abs and entire toned bod while relaxing poolside and exploring the beach. In the snap, the model poses at her "friend’s incredible villas," in the Hermosa Hills.

"I have come here to heal repeatedly," Paulina wrote. "I don’t know what it is about being here, but my anxiety drops to nearly undetectable, and I feel like I get to pause all the stress of life. The minute I leave, it all comes rushing in again, but aaah, I can live for those moments of peace. I’m so incredibly grateful for the opportunity to come here. And for good friends who give me a hand when I need it."

Paulina has long been vocal about the way society discusses aging and her own fitness evolution one bikini photo and nearly-naked pic at a time. Even though staying active is a big part of Paulina’s life now, she told that she used to rely on “cigarettes and poor nutrition” when she was younger and working as a supermodel.

After appearing on Dancing with the Stars and developing a strong dance practice, she realized that she was happier and healthier with regular exercise. "I started exercising to help with my panic attacks and to get off antidepressants," she told "I found out if I worked out every day my anxiety was kept a lot at bay. And I felt better. So how great is that?”.

Now, Paulina works out almost every day, and thanks to Dance videos, she's become a bona fide dancing queen. "It's become something that's like brushing my teeth. It's something I have to do," she told In addition to her killer aerobics moves, she does Pillates in between photo shoots.
