Model Brooks Nader has revealed the workouts she swears by in order to stay in top shape

Sports Illustrated Swimsuit star Brooks Nader has revealed the workouts she swears by in order to stay in top shape while opening up about how she prepared for her debut shoot for the iconic magazine.

The stunning 22-year-old, who is originally from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, told DailyMail.com that her typical workout routine sees her boxing, a hobby she credits with helping her stay 'toned' as well as keeping her 'endorphins going'.

Brooks admitted that she initially thought she had to slim down in order to make it in the industry, but said working with the magazine has empowered her to want to become the 'best version' of herself, which is what she now strives to do when she works out rather than attempting to get down to a certain size.

She said: 'I feel like when I first started, I had this idea that I had to workout to lose weight but now I do it to relieve stress, strengthen my body and help clear my head.'

The Louisiana native said her typical workout sees her boxing at a gym in New York City, where she moved from Louisiana to in 2017.

'I love boxing! I've been training with Rob Piela at Gotham Gym since I moved to NYC and I've found it really helps strengthen, tone me and help keep my endorphins going which is my main goal!' she said.

Brooks said she also attends 'the occasional' hip hop class at a dance studio in the city.

But despite her efforts to work out regularly, Brooks said heading to the gym to work up a sweat is often the last thing she wants to do after a busy day of shooting.

When it comes to her diet, the model said she isn't too hard on herself in terms of what she eats, admitting that she once had a 'strange relationship' with food.

'I try and stay away from sugar and dairy but if I have a craving, I'll definitely satisfy it,' she said.
