The Beautiful Brooklyn Decker Shares Her Beauty & Fitness Faves

You have such a fantastic figure. Were you born with it, or do you have to constantly work at it?
I have to constantly work at it just like anyone else, but it’s worth it. I go to the gym four to five days a week—I do a good mix of cardio, yoga and weight training for sculpting, all of which are on my Elle Make Better DVD ($19.95 at ElleMakeBetter.com). Planks are a favorite move of mine because they tone allover—they work your core as well as your arms and leg muscles! I also find that nothing is better for my legs then doing squats and lunges—you can do them anywhere and they give you great definition.
Dish on your diet! And what are your go-to “cheat” foods?
I follow the “everything in moderation” rule. When I want some candy, I’ll have it! If you try to fight the craving, inevitably you end up caving and having more than you would have in the first place.
What is the hardest part of being a full-time model?
I think the hardest part of my job is spending time away from my family and friends while I’m on location. I’ve been filming a lot lately which keeps me nice and settled in one place. But I do look forward to the day where I’m not always traveling alone!
Does your self-confidence ever waver?
When I was first starting out, I was intimidated and would try so hard to fit an unrealistic standard. I finally embraced the fact that I’m a woman with a body! Once I adopted a healthy living attitude, I actually started to get a lot more work—it just goes to show that being comfortable with who you are is so important.
What are your beauty must-haves?
My Venus Embrace Razor ($12.99 at Drugstore.com) because its perfect for when I’m in a short dress or on a bikini shoot—I always have to keep my legs silky and smooth, and it’s also good for exfoliation; Lip balm because it has so many uses; An eyelash curler and COVERGIRL Lashblast mascara ($8.50 atDrugstore.com)—if all else fails you can use these two products with lip balm and be good to go!
What is your signature scent?
Marc Jacobs Rain (no longer available)—I’m not a perfume person but they make these splashes that aren’t quite perfume and are really light—it smells clean!
What do you consider to be your best physical asset? What body part(s) are you insecure about?
I love my eyes because I have my dad’s eyes and their blue, and the thing I could most improve—oh goodness, just always trying to keep everything tight!
