Miranda Kerr body confidence

Pretty Miranda Kerr's long awaited motivational book for young women, Treasure Yourself, is now in stores. Miranda says, "I wrote the book for young women in their teens, but I feel that women of all ages will appreciate the message. Experts such as Louise Hay and Deepak Chopra have also contributed." In it the gorgeous Australian model, seen above in Shape magazine wearing a Shimmer Push-up triangle top and scoop bottoms by Victoria's Secret, talks of the importance of being confident about your body: "Nobody is perfect. I have my good parts but I also have those parts I need to work on but that's between me and my personal trainer. I think the important thing is that all women are happy and confident with what they have got and don't feel pushed to being a certain way."

27-year old Miranda Kerr recently married boyfriend Orlando Bloom in Los Angeles, after a one month engagement. For their honeymoon Orlando and Miranda flew off to a luxurious $4,500-per-night beachfront villa at Viceroy Anguilla in the Caribbean.



Growing up in her farm at Gunnedah, Australia, Miranda liked riding horses and motor bikes, and she was into sports like basketball and gymnastics. Kerr told Teen Vogue: "Your teen years are when you create a foundation for the rest of your life, from habits to ideas of who you think you are and what you believe you are able to accomplish. A confident teen is more likely to set out to achieve what she dreams of simply because she thinks she can." Miranda is 5'9" tall and her body measurements are 34-24-34.



In the March 2010 issue of Good Health magazine Miranda Kerr revealed how she cares for her body's nutrition while enjoying food: "Eighty per cent of the time I eat food that is highly nutritious and basically what I term 'medicine' for my body. The remaining 20 per cent of the time I grant myself the opportunity to indulge in things I truly enjoy like dark chocolate or even my grandmother's fried chicken! As a result I never feel like I am missing out on anything."

Around twice a year Miranda does a two or three week detox for cleansing her body of toxins; for that time she cuts out all gluten, dairy, coffee, alcohol, sugar, and red meat from her diet. And her nutritionist Sally Joseph says: "I advise Miranda to swap coffee for green tea with a few slices of fresh ginger to soothe the nervous system." She also enjoys blending spinach, carrots, beets, and ginger, into smoothies. Miranda Kerr loves to shop for her organic produce: "There's a fun energy in Union Square. There's so much going on. The market has fresh flowers and organic produce, lots of fresh vegetables, and there are so many great local organic farmers there. I get goat's yogurt there. I eat goat's yogurt, goat's milk and goat cheese."



Miranda Kerr in the June 2010 issue of GQ magazine, on a stability ball which is a great way improve posture, do strength training, and stretching exercises like Yoga. Miranda Kerr is in fact a Yoga veteran! "I work out with my trainer a few times a week doing cardio, strength and toning exercises. Also, I've been practising yoga at least three times a week for the past 10 years and have really noticed the benefits. Yoga centers my thoughts, allowing me to move forward in the direction I choose. It massages my internal organs and cleanses my mind, body and spirit."
