Israeli Supermodel, Bar Refaeli, is the cover model for the Sports Illustrated 2009 Swimsuit issue. And by looking at her gorgeous photo it’s evident she deserves the cover model title that so many women strive for in the modeling industry. Bar maintains her svelte body by performing a variety of cardio and martial arts based workouts, one such workout is Krav Maga, an Israeli fighting method. Bar Refaeli states,

“My trainer taught me all kinds of kicks and they work everywhere-your abs, your butt.”

Krav Maga workouts are very similar to cardio kickboxing in that you get a full body workout and it uses a lot of the same equipment such as jump ropes, kettle bells, gloves and boxing bags. Other perpetually fit stars that practice Krav Maga are Jennifer Garner, Anna Kournikova and Charlize Theron. From the looks of Bar Refaeli, it appears that doing some Krav Maga will definitely help get a sleek bikini body for the upcoming summer.
