The beauty has become known for her statuesque physique, having strutted down the catwalk several times as a Victoria’s Secret Angel.

The former catwalk star previously revealed that she maintains her fitness with 45-minute workouts a day.

‘It’s mainly resistance training with my own body. I’ll do planks, I’ll do different types of sit-ups, anything that’s for my core, because I have scoliosis,” Joan told WSJ. Magazine in 2021.

“I do a lot of glute work: kickbacks, squats, fire hydrants. Cardio, I do it maybe three times a week. When I was in Puerto Rico, I ran outside because it gave me a nice view to be outside and run among the palm trees.

‘I haven’t done Muay Thai for over a year now and I’m starting to miss it. I think a girl should always be able to throw a good punch. It’s good self-defense.’

“I do oatmeal [for breakfast]Joan told WSJ about her diet.

“Other times I’ll do scrambled eggs, turkey bacon and a piece of toast, a slice of avocado. Other days it’s fruit. Before I eat, I usually drink water.’

Joan regularly takes supplements such as zinc, probiotics, vitamin D, a complex of vitamin Bs, a powder called MSM [methylsulfonylmethane]and vitamin C.

The 6ft 4in catwalk queen was also asked by Emirates Women if she wanted to make a change in the modeling industry.

Joan admitted: ‘To have a social responsibility in determining the message they want to convey to their consumers, and not just do it because they are riding the wave of trends.

‘Also to have transparency in jobs/contracts – it has become much more than just showing up.

“There are so many variables that I think agencies should be more direct and honest in some cases.”

In 2013, the stunner first entered Forbes magazine’s list of highest-paid models, where he ranked at number eight with more than $3 million in earnings.
