‘EXTREME FITNESS TRAINING’ WITH VOGUE
She’s always been in shape, but in an episode of her new TV show Vogue Williams Investigates (airing Weds 22 Mar at 10pm on Quest Red), Vogue – who is 5ft 11 and a size 8-10 – looks at the extreme measures models go to to compete in the “Bikini Athletics” category at one of Europe’s top fitness competitions.
This involves reducing body fat to just eight per cent (for women, a healthy range is between 23-34 per cent). But Vogue refused to go to that extreme.
She says: “I didn’t want to put my body through that. I work 12-15 hour days and my mind wouldn’t function if I was starving myself before the competitions the way the models do. I like to portray a healthy body image – and I like balance in my life.”
