(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Elle Mcpherson has stopped "ploughing away" on the treadmill to keep her figure.

The supermodel, who was nicknamed The Body' because of her amazing shape, says that nearing the age of fifty, she enjoys an active lifestyle instead of hitting the gym.

Elle is realistic about how her body looks now that she is older.

"I'm not 20. I'm not under any illusion that I am. I don't want to be ploughing away for hours on the treadmill. I'm not working on keeping this body any more," she told British newspaper The Mirror. "I'm much more interested in wellness and wellbeing. I go to see James Duigan at Bodyism for a workout, or train with my tennis coach Tanya Bennett who's amazing I enjoy the active lifestyle and being outdoors."

Looking much younger than her 48 years, Elle is the mother of two sons and is regularly pictured looking fabulous on the school run.

Thanks to her clean-living and active lifestyle, the glamorous star has maintained a youthful look and is no doubt the envy of women worldwide. (C) Cover Media
