Doutzen Kroes does ballet and eats mostly organic food

Doutzen Kroes is focusing on her health – in her swimsuit. The supermodel shows off her beautiful body in a black bathing suit, enjoying a health retreat with friends. "A week of healthy eating, cold dipping in the incredible lake Altaussee, enjoying the stunning landscape, laughing with friends and reconnecting with my body thanks to @mayrlife_official and the incredible team for a holistic approach to get to know my body better and rejuvenate," she captioned the post.

Doutzen's favorite exercise class is Ballet Beautiful with Mary Helen Bowers, which she does three times a week. "It keeps everything tight. I've worked out with her for two years and I really like the results," she told Vogue. "I used to always box and run, and with boxing, I would build a lot of muscle. After I had my son [Phyllon, age 3½], I started doing ballet. It makes you long and lean—it's like the Pilates look."

"One thing that I've always done since I was younger is suck in my stomach," Doutzen told Vogue about a fitness trick. "I think that gave me [ab] muscles. I don't even think about it—like when you sit in a car, use your core to sit up straight. You can work out sitting in a car! I did leg and butt exercises during my pregnancy, but I haven't done anything since I had my baby because I don't want to damage my stomach muscles. It's better to wait a while."

"Every morning I mix an orange, grapefruit, and lemon with wheatgrass or green powder in the blender," Doutzen revealed to Vogue. ""It's very sour. It doesn't taste good at all, but I do it because it's healthy." She added that healthy eating was instilled in her as a child. "Growing up, my mom gave me really healthy food. Everything was fresh from the garden and organic before the organic hype. I still eat mostly organic food."

Doutzen also juices. "I love Juice Press because they have some juices that actually taste good. I like to order at night and get it in the morning, then I don't have to press anything myself," she said.

Doutzen starts the morning with green juice, eggs, and avocado, and ends her day with fish and greens. For lunch she usually has a salad, or a salad and fries to "mix it up a little bit," she told Byrdie. She always brings healthy snacks with her. "I always like to have mixed raw nuts with me for when I get hungry—especially when I was pregnant I was scared I wasn't getting enough—or a banana."
