Marisa Miller tells Fitness about workout routines, diet secrets, and confidence boosters she’s using to prepare for her Victoria’s Secret runway walk on December 4th in New York.
Marisa works with the Peace, Love, Cure campaign to benefit to raise funds for the Young Survival Coalition, a nonprofit built to assist young women suffering from breast cancer. She represents the American Cancer Society as an ambassador for their Making Strides Against Breast Cancer program.
Fitness is featuring her as their Mind, Body & Spirit Superstar this month.
Here are a few teasers from that article:
On being shy
"I used to be shy about [my body] because I was a tomboy, but I was also a size D by the time I was 16. I’d hide my body in big T-shirts and baggy pants. If I was with friends at the beach and I had to get up to throw a piece of garbage away, I would put on all my clothes just to walk to the trash can."
On why she exercises
"I’m comfortable with the curves I have. I like having a woman’s body. It’s not like I’m exercising to be skinny. I’m the girl who needs curves. I like my butt and boobs!"
Miller’s workout secrets
"I’ve tried everything. I love surfing: it’s spiritual and physical. I also
like Spinning. It’s good toning for your rear and legs. I’ll put in one of my favorite Guns N Roses music video DVDs and start pedaling. I find it’s so much easier to work out when I can distract myself with something
visual.
On her biggest dietary weakness
"Definitely ice cream."
On all that attention
"I didn’t like getting attention. Even now, I don’t like it."
On what she stays away from most of the time
"Processed stuff. Recently, I came back from a long trip and [my husband had] gone grocery shopping, which was nice, but it was all TV dinners and Cap’n Crunch. I said, ‘Honey, is there a fruit or vegetable anywhere in the house?’ And he’s like, ‘I got canned peaches!’ God bless him, but he doesn’t make it easy for me."
Papa knows best
"Recently, I was on a cover and my dad was so excited that he bought three copies of the magazine at the grocery store. The woman at the checkout looked at him like he was a total pervert. My dad was like, ‘No! That’s my daughter on the cover!" And she was like, ‘Uh-huh.’"
