This is the fitness regime behind Paulina Porizkova's healthy, toned and glowing look

There's no two ways about it, supermodel Paulina Porizkova looks incredible. And yet, despite being healthy, toned and glowing, there is something altogether more relatable about her fitness journey than Nicole Kidman's uber-sculpted abs on a recent cover of Love magazine.

In fact, Porizkova posted a video on Instagram, candidly detailing what exercise looks like for her post menopause, while working on her arms and back.

"Staying in shape after menopause takes a lot of frickin' work. Especially when you have wonky hips," Porizkova wrote in the caption. "I've had to cut down on my Pilates since I came back for the jungle shooting #beyondtheedge because my hips won't cooperate. What I'm doing instead, for now, is some serious PT. I found an amazing personal trainer at my local Crunch, Shelly, who alternates hip PT with strength training."

Better still, Porizkova's love affair with strength training is backed by solid science. "Preserving lean muscle mass is the key to fighting ageing," says celebrity personal trainer, Dalton Wong. "When you come out of the menopause, your hormone levels may have been affected," he continues. "This shift can lead to an increase in weight gain or feeling uncomfortable in your body. Strength training is great as it increases your lean muscle mass, improves your joint stability and can help reduce your body fat."

Other workouts Wong recommends after the menopause all involve resistance training but should be matched to your fitness level. "For example, if you're starting exercise again or trying a new plan during your menopause, then anything that uses weights is great," he says. "These can include body-weight, mini bands, resistance tubes or lighter dumbbells," he notes, adding that calisthenics, barre or Trx are good classes to sign up to at the gym as they all involve lower weight exercises.

If you're already exercising, then you might want to consider incorporating different aspects of strength training. Wong is an advocate of circuit training and using various repetition ranges (15-20, 12-15,8-10+6-8) as they work different parts of your muscles.

However, high intensity cardio or lifting heavy weights should be avoided if your body isn't used to it. "As we get older, we need to work within our body and not push it too much," Wong says, noting that we need to protect our joints and spine in particular.

How refreshing that the '90s obsession with getting a 'supermodel body' is now viewed through a different lens. Instead of extreme exercise and diet fads, listening to your body is key and Porizkova couldn't be a more inspirational example of that healthy mantra.
