Anais Zanotti is an exceptionally talented and accomplished supermodel, professional sky diver and an actress. She has been winner of the Bikini Models search calendar contest 2012 and also being voted “Top Sexiest Model 2012”. She is in conversation with Namita Nayyar President Women Fitness.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You were born at Saint-Tropez, France and started modeling at the age of 16 years when a photographer for a local magazine spotted you and asked for a shoot. Later you went to Paris and Italy on modeling assignments. You career excelled as you moved to US nine years ago. This propelled your modeling career to the height where you have been at the top of the world of fashion and glamour modeling and have also been featured as the leading model for Playboy and various other magazines. Tell us something about this fairy tale journey?
Ms. Anais Zanotti:
It has been one of my biggest dreams to live in Miami ever since I was a little girl. So when I started modeling I always had Miami as a goal. But before that I had to achieve smaller goals. Like moving from St Tropez to Monaco to be closer to Italy. I really enjoyed living there. I have always loved to challenge myself, nothing is impossible, if you believe in it and this is what I did. Everything I did with my career was in a progressive way.
Always dream big and believe in your dreams. So many people told me that it was crazy for me to move to the U.S. without speaking English, well I did not let that bother me. I actually believed in myself and knew that I would be able to learn the language if I hung around with American friends. And this is what I did. It took me a few months to be fluent. So the language barrier should not be an excuse.
When I left I was alone, I did not know anyone and that was the best, to be put on the spot, you have no choice except to meet people and learn. I used that strategy for modeling too, I wanted big things for myself and I aimed for the stars.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You moved from France to United States and other European countries for your professional career. For a model adjusting to new countries with their own cultures it must be difficult and then to adjust with modeling career in the new foreign land, what advice can you give to fellow models in a similar situation?
Ms. Anais Zanotti:
Lot’s of people would have a tendency to find other people from their country once they moved. My advice is to make friends with people from where you are, learning their culture. When I moved to the U.S. I was lucky to meet so many amazing people who have helped me. It’s a great adventure and experience to live in a different Country away from your comfort zone.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You are a world leading media personality, supermodel, actress, skydiver, stunt women, martial artist, kick boxer and a brand ambassador. How you manage such a remarkable multi-dimensional lifestyle?
Ms. Anais Zanotti:
I have always loved extreme sports, as a kid I was into Martial Arts, I used to have a motorcycle when I was in France, and when I moved to the U.S. I started Skydiving. Being a Skydiver and being into all those extreme sports separates me from other models. Being able to do what I love for a living is truly amazing.

Ms. Namita Nayyar:
What exercises comprise your fitness regime or workout routine you may wish to share?
Ms. Anais Zanotti:
I love exercising. I do the split routine. I train one muscle part each day and once or twice per week I do a full body workout. I start with a 30 min cardio in the morning. I eat a small breakfast before so I have some fuel to burn, I do intervals training. For cardio I like the Stairmaster and the treadmill. Those are the best for legs since I am quad dominant.
It helps me to have my legs more proportionate with nice hamstrings. In the afternoon I focus on one muscle or two max, since my goal is to have more defined muscles. I do different exercises, I change my routine every other week, I keep in track of everything I do, I use a workout App call MT, stand for My Training where I report all my exercises including reps, weights and rest time.
My favorite is the full body workout, I usually do legs, core and shoulders. That’s the best if you are looking to tone up your body and for weight loss, you won’t need any cardio after that. For the full body workout I do the HIIT training, with very little to no rest in between sets. That will give you a great burn and will make your metabolism faster for the next few hours, so you will still loose calories. I also use the Full body workout as my cardio for shoulders day, legs day and back day. Only for 10 to 20 min to warm-up. Those days I don’t do cardio since my warm-up is intense.
I find myself burning many more calories doing the HIIT training for only 10 min than a whole hour of cardio at a steady pace. I recently got my NASM Personal Trainer Certification, my wish is to help other Women from all over the world to reach their goals. I will soon be offering Online Fitness training. I have my own channel on YouTube with some workout exercises. I just posted two HIIT training videos on my channel. I am shooting everyday right now my workout templates.

Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Do you take some special diet or have a strict menu that you follow to remain healthy and physically fit?
Ms. Anais Zanotti:
In my case it has always been a challenge. I have a Thyroid issue. Hypothyroid. It took me a while to find the perfect diet. I do not follow any dieting program and do not measure my food. But I find that eating small meals every three hours was effective. It speeds up my metabolism, I feel less tired, I have more energy, and I am more productive during the day.
Right now I am trying to gain muscle so each of my meals contain protein, vitamins and carbs. When I am trying to downsize and loose volume I do a low-carbs diet, but not for long. Carbs are the fuel, to be able to burn you need fuel, If it’s a day where I am not going to train as hard, then I eat less carbs. Everything is a balance. I cook all my meals and rarely eat out. My food is pretty clean, I love posting SnapChat about my recipes.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Do you take some kind of skin treatment to keep it young and glowing and secondly what you do to your hair to make them look so stunning?
Ms. Anais Zanotti:
For my Skin I love doing the Hydrofacial, since I discover this treatment my skin became more healthy. I am trying to do it every month. I love going to the Doctor Acra clinic in Miami, they are the ones who take care of my skin. I also use a basic cream that he recommended to me and I found it the best for me since Miami weather is sunny, hot and humid, I use La Roche-Posay 60 UV protection and Clarins Baume “Special” Eye Contour Balm. For my hair I have tried so many brands but the best that works for me is Ogxbeauty, argan oil of Morocco.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Tell us about your experience of working as an actress in the role of Maria in the movie “Exposure” by Corey Feldman?
Ms. Anais Zanotti:
It was a great experience, from that I was able to be on IMDB.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You are the only women the world who is a stunt woman & certified skydiver with over 1350 jumps and an internationally acclaimed supermodel. Tell more about your skydiving passion?
Ms. Anais Zanotti:
What I love about Skydiving is once you are in the air, you don’t think about anything else. You truly are in the moment. It’s the best therapy for me. It’s not what people think, that we are bunch of people jumping and doing crazy things. Every jump is planned with a goal, we usually jump with a group of friends. It takes a lot of training and thousands of jumps to be a real master.
It’s a very challenging sport, where you never stop learning to fly. What I love the most is free flying and freestyle, It’s just so relaxing, to be able to move around, going from fast to slow speed, changing directions, and linking up with my friends in free fall. I am also a very conservative Skydiver. When it’s too windy or gusty I avoid jumping.

Ms. Namita Nayyar:
How did you feel on being winner of the Bikini Models search calendar contest 2012 and also being voted “Top Sexiest Model 2012” ?
Ms. Anais Zanotti:
It was an honor for me and a great achievement for my career.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Advice and motivational words to the inspiring and budding fashion model girls, who all are your fans and shall like to know from you for their climb to the ladder of success in the field of modeling?
Ms. Anais Zanotti:
What made me successful was to work consistently with a group of very good photographers. My first goal as a model was to get published, so every shoot I was doing was for a purpose. Like doing a Maxim or FHM style shoot. At first it’s ok for new models to do small publications, from feature to covers on small publications, then move on to bigger publications such as Maxim, FHM, etc. Once you move to bigger features, be consistent and upgrade to bigger features, but do not downgrade. Always shoot for bigger things.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You have done bold photo shoots with Playboy, FHM, Maxim, GQ, Esquire, Zoo, Fighters Only, Fight Italy, and Celebrity magazine like, Entrevue France, People magazine, Vogue Spain, Cosmopolitan US and more. How you are so body confident and advice to your compatriots?
Ms. Anais Zanotti:
That was also one of the reasons I had to stay in shape the whole year round, you never know when you are going to be shooting some exclusive work and most of the time they want your work in the next few days. Staying in shape should be a lifestyle. And it makes me feel good and more confident about myself.
