Blonde bombshell Brooklyn Decker revealed her workout secrets in Shape magazine that keeps her fit and model-ready for her photo shoots like the cover of Sports Illustrated.

Brooklyn admits that she focuses on how strong her body is, not how thin.  Smart!

“I’m not a fan of diets, so I encourage people to practice eating habits that can be maintained,” she says. “In an effort to lose weight, one might consider eating vegetarian or a vegan-based diet. Portion control is key. To maintain weight, it’s important to be consistent and don’t overeat.”

For her fitness, Brooklyn does a combination of cardio and strength training.

“Cardio will keep you lean, strength training will keep you strong and toned.”
