Cindy Crawford may be 44 years old, but she still has a supermodel bod. How does she do it?
"Smoke and mirrors!" she jokes to UsMagazine.com.
The former model does admit that she has a few tricks up her sleeve to stay in tip-top shape.

"It's a combination of a lot of things," she told Us while hosting the DIFFA Dining by Design Gala in NYC Monday. "I don't smoke, I don't take too much sun on my face -- all those things. If you keep doing them enough over the years, they add up."
Plus, she says "the biggest part" of her success has been staying fit for more than 20 years.
Look back at some of the most talked-about bodies of 2009
"It's not that I work out every day, [and] I'm not ever on a diet -- I just eat healthy," she says. "I'm never off the wagon, so I never have to get back on the wagon. I think it's about maintaining a healthy body weight."
The mother of two children -- Presley, 10, and Kaia, 8 -- tells Us that it's not just about an exercise regimen.

"Just being happy and doing work that you love -- self-confidence is really what's attractive in people, and I think that that comes out," she says. "If you're happy and you're doing work that you enjoy -- for me it's about being a mother -- that comes out in how I look."
Tell Us What You Think
15Quit hatin' I doubt any of you haters ever modeled like her or even appear "good" in photos. Obviously you love to hate her.
She looks like Joan Rivers with her stretched face and wrinkled neck. In addition, her dress should be longer since her legs are not attractive. They looked all sun damaged and ugly knees. Her Model Days are Over Beauty Fades on the OUTSIDE AND STAYS ON THE INSIDE. I HOPE SHE HAS SOMETHING ON THE INSIDE BECAUSE I HAVE NOT SEEN IT YET.
If you look at her her neck is all wrinkley compared to her plastic looking face.
Beauty leaves us and inner beauty stays around a life time. She is showing her age now. I consider her a middle age has been.
She has ugly legs.
She is very insecure. Her husband cheated on her with young girls in their 20's. She is very insecure and keeps looking for ways to keep him a round. Her face is beginning to look like Joan Rivers (fake) and not pretty.
Her face is beginning to look like a Martian. She is beginning to look like Pricilla presley or Jane Rivers. She lost her looks a long time ago. Take away the fancy clothes and make up artist and you have nothing. Beauty fade on the outside but stays on the inside. I don't think she has it on the inside. I wish she would just go away and take care of her kids. She is a has been.
Sorry, but Cindy was looking old and haggard in her late 20s already. She can credit about 80% of her looks to plastic surgery, and even then she doesn't look that hot. Much like Courtney Cox now, Cindy Crawford looks very plastic. The cheek implants are too much, the eye job too lifted, and her body so liposuctioned she doesn't even look like she did in her modeling days. I guess when you marry a guy who cheats on you with everything in site, it is hard not to be obsessed with your looks. Divorce him and get some self esteem. It will do wonders for your looks, Cindy!
Good to hear, you look great, Cindy! I'm glad I don't have to wait 2 minutes before posting another comment!
Great advice, great girl power speech - it's easy to say all that (all true btw) when you look like that to begin with. She forgot one crucial piece of the puzzle - DNA & luck of the genetic draw!
I credit it to her exclusive diet of underachievers' come.
Forgot to mention lipo suction, tummy tuck etc.
Right. And BOTOX, Restylane and other FILLERS has NOTHING to do with the way she looks!
She looks FINE!!!! and her skirt is just fine too miss prude!
She doesn't look bad but that dress needs to be about 3-4" longer.
