In a recent Instagram post<\/a>, the 61-year-old supermodel shared her gym routine with her many followers and said working out has helped her in more ways than one.<\/p>\n “I really used to hate to work out. And, so, I didn\u2019t do it until I was in my 40s, and I realized that it really helped with my pretty severe anxiety,” she said in voice-over footage of her lifting weights. “And also it made me look better.”<\/p>\n PAULINA PORIZKOVA WOWS IN STRIKING BIKINI WHILE CELEBRATING HER 61ST BIRTHDAY<\/a><\/p>\n She explained that while she still doesn’t like working out and would “much rather be reclining on the couch and reading novels,” that would help “feed my brain, but it doesn\u2019t really do it for my body.”<\/p>\n So, she chooses to go to the gym.<\/p>\n Porizkova shared her workout routine on Instagram, letting fans know why she works out.
