Elle Macpherson Claims She's Not A Fan Of The Gym

Despite being dubbed "The Body", Elle Macpherson has revealed that she doesn't like the gym.

Speaking to Vogue, the 52-year-old said she only started taking care of her body properly when she hit 40, after her two boys Aurelius Cy, 12, and Arpad Flynn, 17, were all grown up.

"I paddle board, swim, surf, ski, hike - anything outdoors. [I’m] not a fan of the gym," Elle said in the interview.

I’m not sure I did take care of myself [very well back then] but I do now.

"In my late 40’s, despite my best efforts, I started feeling run-down. I tried an array of supplements, but nothing seemed to do the trick."

Now Elle credits the Alkaline diet for getting her body back in shape after a doctor told her her pH levels of acid to alkaline weren't balanced.



"I didn't realise that stress, worry, jet lag, not getting enough sleep and eating too much red meat, dairy or not enough greens can make your body acidic," she said.

Elle revealed that if she leaves her house without her Alkalising Green drink - which is called The Super Elixir and is made by Elle’s company WelleCo - in the morning, she turns straight back as she can't survive her day without it.

"Parenting is still my priority. [But my] different focus today - it's not all about teething, diet etc… The phases include teaching them manners, determination, grace, education, intuition, being self dependent and responsible," she said.
