Victoria's Secret Angel Lily Aldridge Spills Her Sexy-Figure Secret

If there's anything a Victoria's Secret Angel knows, it's how to look amazing -- while wearing minimal clothes, natch. And there's no hotter Angel right now than Lily Aldridge, new mom to daughter Dixie -- but still in seriously fit form. Lily, who first walked the VS runway in 2009 and was annointed with her Angel wings in 2010, knows how to keep her bod wing worthy and runway ready -- even after the birth of her child! We checked in with the super-chic model to find out how she gets her sweat on (yoga!), her must-have beauty product (sunscreen!) and what makes her fall asleep.

The man behind this incredible figure? Celebrity trainer Justin Gelband, who has been working with Lily for almost five years now. When the duo works out together, they "focus on strengthening and lengthening her core zone, which includes the butt, hips, lower back, and stomach."

Lily and Gelband credit yoga for her long, lithe figure. "I've always loved yoga," Lily tells SELF exclusively, "but I got really into it while I was pregnant. It's a great way to stay flexible -- and a great way to meditate." Lily especially enjoys Tree Pose, because she "justs feels grounded and focused while in the pose." And when she wants to unwind, she swears by Child's Pose. "I could fall asleep in that position!" Lily jokes. (Oh, and unrelated side note? How much do we want the VSX gear she's rocking in this photo?!)

And even though we talked to Lily in the studio, she loves to bring her workout outdoors with Gelband. (Kinda like SELF's Workout in the Park this past weekend in NYC!) "Working out outside is good for the body and soul," says Lily. "Nothing makes me feel more blessed than being outside on a beautiful day."

Gelband is inspired by Lily's attitude, he says, as "she's been a huge role model for young women all over the world with her integrity, work ethic and continued dedication to her craft." And we love Lily's commitment to her health, too: The Angel swears by Aveeno's sunblock for face and body. "I won't leave home without it!" she says. Whatever Lily's doing, it's working, so we'll gladly follow suit any day.
