Melania Trump may not have as much time for herself as the first lady of the United States as she did as a model. But it doesn't seem like the first lady has dropped beauty and fitness from her priorities list; she constantly looks camera-ready and reportedly takes great pride in her self-presentation.
On top of a diligent skincare regimen and 75-minute makeup routine, Trump reportedly exercises each morning and follows a fruit-focused diet. Here's everything we know about how she stays in shape.

According to E! News, Trump enjoys Pilates — particularly because she can do it at home, which is helpful considering her jet-setting schedule.
Pilates is an excellent workout for injury prevention and recovery, as it was originally intended it to be a rehabilitative exercise, according to the offical Pilates website. It has become more or less ubiquitous for wellness enthusiasts, especially celebrities, including Jennifer Lawrence, Miley Cyrus, Pippa Middleton, and Selena Gomez.
She plays tennis.
According to E! News, Trump is a big fan of tennis. And while there are no tennis courts in the White House, the Trumps spend a lot of the winter at Mar-a-Lago — the mansion in Palm Beach, Florida that President Trump converted into a private club — which has five tennis courts. There are also four courts at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, where the first family has also spent numerous summer weekends.

E! News also reports that Trump enjoys walking around the house wearing ankle weights. And while this may seem like it would have little impact, making small efforts to be more active on a daily basis can certainly lead to an overall healthier lifestyle.
She makes time to focus on herself.
In a 2011 interview with Allure, Trump revealed that the best advice her mom ever gave her was to simply relax.
"When you take care of yourself, you can take care of others," she said. "Also, regarding the skin and the body, to have some relaxation time. It's good for your mind and your skin as well."

Of course, no workout routine is effective without a consistently healthy diet. Trump leads a balanced lifestyle and is open to indulgences — like Diet Coke and chicken parmigianino, according to a 2010 interview with New York magazine — but mainly fuels her body with fruits and vegetables.
"It's not a diet, I just like to eat healthy because I feel better and have more energy," Trump told Refinery29 in 2012. "If I would snack, I would snack on maybe fruit or a little bit of chocolate, because I think your body needs that, too."
Trump added that she drinks a smoothie for breakfast nearly every morning, "with a few ingredients and lots of vitamins in it." According to her 2016 profile in GQ, Trump eats seven pieces of fruit every day.
