Tyra Banks' bikini-bod secrets revealed

Telling supermodel Tyra Banks that she has become fat may see her flattening you out with that mean right hook, for the former Victoria’s Secret Angel has joined a boxing gym to keep in shape.

Banks’ trainer, Martin Snow, the owner of Trinity Boxing Club revealed how he is helping the model to stay fit.

The trainer insisted that they don’t follow routine and high-tech stuff but working out the hard way.

“No, I really stay away from doing anything you would find in a health club routine. We're very low frills. If you can plug it in, we probably don’t use it. And if it was invented after 1950, we don’t use it. It’s very effective. You don’t need expensive equipment or high tech stuff. Just hard work,” US Weekly quoted Charles, as saying.

“She comes in around three times a week now. And each time it’s different. We will take these old tractor tires and she will swing sledgehammers. We do bags filled with sand. And of course the boxing,” he said.

“I have a boxing gym so I basically do the moves with her that a fighter would do. She tends to get bored just doing conventional stuff. She has an athletic body, so I just try to bring it out. She responds very well to exercise. I do old-man Charles Atlas workouts. Stuff that old-time fighters used to do to get in shape,” he added.

Snow revealed that he makes Banks do all the sweaty drills in the park and the model never hesitates about getting her image spoiled in public and he is really happy with the efforts the model makes.

“Around an hour to an hour and half. She is not afraid to get dirty. She is not afraid to go to the park and have people look at her like she's crazy. She is not worried about image,” he said.

“She is fantastic. She is very driven and works hard and is super nice. If someone is really enthusiastic, that charges up the trainer. I have to motivate someone, but then I get motivated again,” he added.

Earlier, the unattractive snaps of the stunning model during an Australian winter holiday caused ripples in the media, and some reports made fun of Banks and claimed that she had gained weight.
