Cindy Crawford works hard to maintain her supermodel body -- but not too hard.
"I try to be 80 percent good, 80 percent of the time," she told UsMagazine.com at a JCPenney Spring Style event in NYC on Tuesday. "We all know when we're blowing it, but as long as you don't do that all the time..."

So, when she's not being 20 percent bad, the former model, 44, goes hiking to burn calories.
"We live in Malibu, so there's a lot of great hiking there," she tells Us. "I work out with a trainer three times a week."
She also uses the Power Plate, workout equipment that incorporates vibration training to reduce cellulite.
Look back at some of the most talked-about bodies of 2009
"I was hoping you could just stand on it but it doesn't work that way," she says. "But it's all about breaking up your routine because if you get bored, then you stop doing it."
The mother of two -- she has son Presley, 10, and daughter Kaia, 8, with hubby Rande Gerber -- also makes sure she diets responsibly.
For breakfast, she'll eat oatmeal and blueberries with her son and enjoy a salad with chicken or shrimp for lunch. At dinner, she'll serve up fish and vegetables. Crawford also admits to having "a little chocolate mixed in" between meals from time to time.

"I have a daughter, so I east consciously because I want her to see me eat healthy and not think that she can't have dessert ever," she tells Us. "I think its a bad example for her."
Tell Us What You Think
16Hah! Sports Illustrated and Victoria Secret are airbrushed.Anyway she did all that stuff and more yrs before VS existed. She is older true but still beautiful and always will be. I can't believe men who write in saying she is not beautiful. She is my favourite supermodel and always will be.
She looks like an average middle age women with alot of make up on. Nothing I would turn my head back to
SHE IS A HAS BEEN. HER LOOK ARE FADING.
Her body isn't Hot. the bodies that are hot are the Sports Illustrated and Victoria Secret Models. she would never of qualified to be in the above mag.
I hope Randy doesn't continue to cheat on her. She will keep getting more and more plastic surgery until her face falls off. She is trying to keep up with the Hot Waitress her husband goes after at his bar.
I agree I love Kim Kardasian Young Beautiful Curvy Body and beautiful legs.
She looks like a plastic women now. Her looks are fading. In addition, she has very ugly legs. Bring out the pretty women like KIM kARDASIAH WHO HAS A REALLY BODY OF A WOMEN NOT A GUY LOOKING BODY.
I think she is an unfit mother. She has not gave her son a hair cut in four years. He looks like a bum. Her daughter poses for kiddie porn at 5. Her husband cheats on her with young beautiful women and she poses nude. Her poor kids
I think she is overrated. Its same to bring the young beautiful women with curvy bodies like Kim Kardasiah. Shes Hot
I can attest to what Cindy is saying. I was out of shape until I began an exercise routing along with a PROPER diet. I didn't deprive myself of anything, but I didn't binge. I didn't regurgitate either lol. And the routine I did? The Cindy Crawford tapes. They kicked my behind. Thanks Cindy and Radu!
It's nice to see someone rich and famous aging gracefully and not fighting it with all these nasty surgeries. She looks great.
Sandy - you don't have to have a personal trainer to stay in shape. I hate when out-of-shape people use that excuse. Get your butt out and walk and grab some free weights and a good exercise DVD - and for Gods' sake, skip the drive thru!
She looks great. She is a Natural Beauty Plastic Barbies should take notice. With all the emphasis on fake or unrealistic standards of beauty here is a woman in her 40's who puts them to shame.
i will tell you how she looks that good ONE ANSWER-- MONEY, eprsonal chef, personal trainer and delete all the normal stressors middle class people have to put up with. If I had all those things I would have a bangin body at 95!
SHE'S MY FAVOURITE SUPER MODEL!! STILL THINK SHE LOOKS FABULOUS!! GO CINDY!!
Genetics play a role as well...her mom and sisters are beautiful as well....not all of her (face, figure, etc) is from diet and exercise...obviously
