Marisa Miller
Its no secret that this swim suit model has to work hard day in and day out to stay fit for her photo shoots with Sports Illustrated and Victoria’s Secret. She likes to switch it up with boxing, spinning, paddleboarding, and resistance bands. Marisa says most of her workouts last for about 1.5 hours.
Ms Miller loves her intense total body boxing routine. She says she is not into things like yoga or Pilates but prefers a “high-intensity” workout.
BECAUSE I’M CURVY AND BLONDE, PEOPLE THINK I’VE HAD A BOOB JOB OR OTHER PLASTIC SURGERY, WHICH ISN’T TRUE. I’M 100% NATURAL. BUT, I HAVE TO WORK TO STAY IN SHAPE. THERE’S NO MAGIC PILL. BELIEVE ME, IF THERE WAS, I’D KNOW ABOUT IT.
