What Did We Learn This Month?
Fitness magazine: May 2012
Fitness Cover Model for May:
It is Fitness magazine’s 20th Anniversary so, of course, we get a supermodel on the cover and this one is pretty damn super—Elle Macpherson. Elle is 48 years-old (!) and she looks totally amaze-balls! The single mother of two keeps in shape with near constant activity including skiing, surfing and biking. She is also the creative director of two companies (Elle Macpherson Intimates lingerie and Elle Macpherson The Body) which means she has learned to make time for exercise in spite of her busy schedule.
Elle is photographed by Naomi Kaltman and here is a photo of our cover gal in a Graham and Spencer top and Melissa Osabash bikini.
