What’s the secret to looking like Maxim’s hottest woman of 2014? It’s all about getting down.

Also, it doesn’t hurt that the 25-year-old South African beauty is always strutting the catwalk in skimpy lingerie. And, we’re sure her Instagram post featuring a cat resting on her crotch also helps, too. Seriously though, how does Swanepoel always look so bikini-ready? Sure, she’s obviously genetically blessed, but the blonde bombshell also tells Vogue UK that she follows a strict regimen to keep looking so flawless. For starters, she’s all about “a really strong sunscreen” to avoid aging sun rays from damaging her face, and constantly conditioning her hair for the beach. (You know, while she's frolicking in barely-there swimsuits.) But let’s be real here. Most of us are more curious on how she maintains a super trim figure. And according to Swanepoel it’s all about squats … lots of them. PHOTOS: Victoria's Secret Supermodels Through the Years “Squats are the key! It’s definitely squats!” she tells the fashion magazine. “They work for me if I’ve been on holiday and I feel like I haven’t done enough exercise. Even 10 makes me feel better.” “You know what’s good — if you squat when you come back up, you squeeze really hard,” adds Swanepoel. “That works.” We doubt squats alone will get us to earn our wings, but clearly it works for this angel.
