We all know athletes have to keep in tip-top shape to perform their best. But what about models? Physical fitness and diet are a requirement for a profession in which looking good is your job.
With that in mind, here are five tips from Alexey Golikov, a 28-year-old Russian model who is currently working in Hong Kong. Golikov has made a name for himself with his picture-perfect physique. Here he spills how he does it.
