The former Victoria's Secret Angel hasn't given up the company's recommended routines to keep in shape and does Pilates three times a week, because she doesn't want to get caught out by the paparazzi not looking her best.

When asked if she still does the same exercises she did when she modelled VS underwear, she said: "Yes because what I thought the other day was, if you have a Victoria's Secret picture it's retouched, but paparazzi don't retouch so it makes it even more pressure when there are photographers on the beach. Basically nothing has changed and I have to be in the same shape!"

The Dutch model also said running around after her children - four-year-old son Phyllon Joy and one-year-old Myllena Mae, her kids with her DJ husband Sunnery James - along with riding her bike around Amsterdam provide her with a great cardio exercise.

Asked how she stays in shape, Doutzen told Grazia magazine: "I am in Amsterdam at the moment and as I was biking I thought maybe this is why, because we have the canal and the bridges and I bike everywhere. It's a lot of cardio when you go fast. I do that and Pilates and I run around with the kids all day so I'm on my feet all day long. I go to Pilates three times a week."

The blonde beauty also said she has grown to appreciate modelling more now she has children.

She added: "I've started to appreciate it more, because I grew up. When you're young you think you know everything and I was a little more arrogant back then. Now when a job comes in I appreciate the fact I have this job and enjoy it a lot more than before. I know I'm doing it for them."
