At Reebok’s #PerfectNever event that was held in New York City, Gigi said, “My metabolism actually changed like crazy this year. I have Hashimoto’s disease. It’s a thyroid disease.  It’s now been two years since taking the medication for it, so for the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, I didn’t want to lose any more weight; I just want to have muscles in the right place, and if my butt can get a little perkier, then that’s good.”

Gigi, who won British Fashion Council’s Model of the Year Award says that boxing has helped her ‘toned body’ and she adds spontaneous exercises in her workout routines.

During the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, Gigi stated that, “I put a sticky note in my kitchen that just said ‘squats’ and every time I walked passed the squat sticky note I had to do 15 squats.  It’s a good trick because you have to have integrity with yourself. No one else is watching but you’re like, ‘Okay, I have to do this for myself,’ which is important.”
