As Fitness Magazine celebrates its 20^th anniversary, Fashion star Elle Macpherson makes it to the cover of this month's issue flaunting her flawless and fit body. 

The 48 year old model told the magazine that she worked out daily to keep herself fit and well toned. "I do an hour every day of some kind of physical activity. I mix it up. If I'm in the mountains I ski, if I'm near water I'll swim. I might do a yoga or Spin class. I also take my running shoes and iPod with me wherever I go. Running is not only a really effective way to stay fit; it's a sort of moving meditation and a great way to explore new towns when I'm travelling," said the model as she revealed her fitness regime.

Talking about her age and how it has affected her body, the mother of two added, "I'm almost 50, so I obviously don't have the same body that I had when I was 20. But I also don't have the same mindset either, when I was wracked with self-consciousness and insecurity. My motivation is feeling joyful, inspired, passionate, patient, strong and healthy.  That's more important to me than hitting X number of pounds on the scale, and it's what drives what I eat and how I work out. I ask myself, "Will I feel better or worse after a run or doing a sport?" I can't ever remember doing something physical and feeling worse.'

Macpherson currently hosts the American reality television show "Fashion Star". Celebrities Jessica Simpson, Nicole Richie and John Varvatos act as mentors for the contestants on the show.
