First lady Melania Trump turns 50 years old in 2020. Yet, she looks as fit and youthful as ever before. What is her secret?
As it turns out, it takes a lot of hard work each day to look this good. Here are the top tips we learned about Melania’s fitness, skincare, and diet routines.
Daily Exercise
You know how most of us have a handful of exercise days a week? Well, that doesn’t work for Melania Trump. In fact, she has a daily fitness routine to keep healthy and trim.
The actual exercises vary, but she tends to favor regular athletic activity. And despite her busy schedule, she manages to find time to squeeze a workout in each day.
We’ve got more details on her favorite exercises below. But if you want to start living (and looking) more like Melania, the first step is finding workout time seven days a week!
Pilates Queen
Everybody eventually finds their favorite form of exercise. For example, some people enjoy a morning run while others will only run if they are being chased by something. What, then, is the first lady’s favorite form of exercise?
It’s actually Pilates. And while this kind of exercise is awesome and effective all on its own, one of the reasons that Melania favors it is because it fits in with her busy lifestyle.
Pilates does not require a large space, and Melania has plenty of equipment in the White House, on the road, and in her various homes. That means that she can rock her favorite exercise wherever she goes.
Despite the love for Pilates, she also enjoys getting a little more “sporty” with her exercises every now and then, as we see with her next fitness tip below.
Serving It Up
Melania Trump enjoys playing tennis whenever she can. In fact, she enjoys tennis so much, she recently launched a new tennis pavilion project at the White House. She tweeted, “This structure will be a testament to American craftsmanship and skill.”

The tennis pavilion will include a 1,200 square foot limestone edifice 18 feet tall, with a copper roof. It will be erected west of the tennis court that was converted into a tennis/basketball court by President Obama. The idea behind the tennis pavilion is that it will provide a unifying element for the tennis court, the Children’s Garden started by Lady Bird Johnson, and the Kitchen Garden started by Michelle Obama.
But it’s not just tennis and Pilates that keeps Melania in such great shape at almost 50.
Ankle Weights
It’s tough to imagine ankle weights as part of anyone’s regular fitness routine. In fact, weights around feet conjure up more images of prisoners than they do of presidents and first ladies.
Nonetheless, Melania often wears ankle weights around the house. The reason for this is simple: it turns the very act of walking from one place to another into exercise.
Obviously, this particular exercise has paid off. Melania has the kind of toned legs that most of us would kill for!
Special Makeup Routine
Of course, looking as great as Melania isn’t all about exercise. She also has a pretty intensive makeup regimen that would scare many people away.
As you might expect, she has her own makeup artist, Nicole Bryl. And one of the things Nicole figured out a long time ago is that some extra time in the morning can go a long way towards leaving an awesome impression.
That’s why Melania has a makeup routine that usually takes an hour and fifteen minutes. While most of us would balk at such a regimen, Melania understands that she will be under intense scrutiny each day. She wants to look as good as possible from the morning until she turns in for the night.
All the Vitamins
You’ve probably noticed that Melania’s skin seemingly glows on all occasions. This is not a trick of her makeup. Instead, it all comes down to her special skincare regimen.
She uses a variety of skin creams to help her maintain her youthful glow. And these creams are filled with helpful vitamins.
For the most part, the creams she uses are high in Vitamin A, C, and E. If you start rocking similar skin creams, you’ll be amazed at the effect it has on your skin.
Fruit Fanatic
We’ve focused a lot on Melania’s health, skin, and makeup routines. This leaves a pretty obvious question: just what is she eating?
Her primary diet is very fruit-centric. In fact, she aims to eat about seven pieces of fruit each day. This may be why she likes to get the morning started with a smoothie.
But Melania is not above treating herself to things like chicken and even chocolate. However, consuming healthy fruits helps to boost her energy and the healthy appearance of her skin.
Dressing the Part
Any Food Network fan can tell you that plating and presentation are just as important as what’s being served. Melania embodies that advice by rocking beautiful designer fashions wherever she goes.
Her workouts and diet help to keep her naturally fit. But rocking brands like Michael Kors and Burberry help to wrap her fit body in unmistakable and unforgettable fashions.
These iconic looks help to bring Melania’s entire appearance together wherever she appears. We should all look so good at 50!
