This weekend, Bethenny Frankel stunned fans around the world as she strutted her stuff on the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit runway in a barely-there bikini.
She left little to the imagination at the event, leaving many wondering how exactly the 54-year-old achieves her enviable physique.
During the show, the Skinnygirl founder wore multiple looks, showing off her toned legs and stomach in a sultry pink polka dot bikini and black cover-up, which she later ripped off to reveal a thong bikini bottom underneath.
When she reached the end of the runway, Frankel turned around to show her backside to the audience, as she jokingly covered her mouth in surprise.
Later on during the runway show, she emerged in a denim bikini top and black bottoms, which she paired with a cowboy hat; she also flashed some side boob in tiny leopard-print one-piece swimsuit.
As clips of the former Real Housewives of New York star circulated around the internet this weekend, many viewers couldn't help but wonder what the star has been doing both diet and fitness-wise to look that good.
'Show us the fitness routine now. Goals,' one person wrote in a comment on TikTok.
Another agreed, 'We need a workout routine asap please.'
So how does Frankel stay in shape?
'Tell us how you did this please?! I'm buying that book immediately!' someone else typed.
It even caught the attention of her pal Lauren Sanchez, who reposted a clip of Frankel on the catwalk and gushed, 'We all need this energy. And this body. Wow.'
So how does Frankel stay in shape?
Well, on Monday morning, after the big response to her walk, Frankel took to TikTok to share more about the buzz around her looks.
She explained that although the internet was 'fascinated' by her age, weight, and appearance, it took a lot of contouring makeup and spray tanning to look like that.
And though people may be begging her for her workout routine, it actually turns out that the 54-year-old doesn't exercise - at all.
'I did not crash diet, I don't go to a gym, I don't have a workout, I walk on the beach,' she admitted.
'Everything I do has balance, I self-regulate, so I have a good relationship with food and exercise.'
'It wasn't always that way, this is not that I have a good metabolism or just good genes, because I used to be 25 pounds heavier in my early thirties,' Frankel continued.
'Why? Because I was fixated and obsessed, and I would binge and then starve.'
Now, Frankel said that she approaches everything with balance.
In the past, she's explained that the only form of activity she does is walking, sharing that she primarily enjoys long strolls on the beach.
'I walk now everyday, for the past several years I didn't really do much of anything, unless I was in a beach place, I'd walk on the beach, or if I was away snowboarding, I'd do that, but that's not something regular,' Frankel admitted in a video posted to her TikTok account last summer.
'For me, walking on the beach everyday is working out, I really think I'm working out,' she continued to share.
Frankel added that she sometimes goes through 'yoga phases,' a practice she's been working on for over 30 years.
The BStrong founder said that she feels like when you take workout classes, it can start to become 'obsessive,' so she steers clear.
'It's all these people, and talking about it, and then you're starving all day... like chasing the workout you did, obsessing about getting to the place for the workout the next day, it's just not me,' the mom-of-one admitted at the time.
Since then, Frankel appears to have continued her walking routine.
She revealed in April that she had hired a personal trainer to help her 'glow up' - presumably for the SI show - but didn't seem to mention it again since then.
Luckily for fans, Frankel has documented her journey to get runway-ready over the past month, showing exactly what she ate to get extra-toned before the big day.
She posted a series about the ' supermodel snacks' that she was eating ahead of the event, which included cottage cheese, sliced turkey breast, vegetables, and even caviar.
Frankel also added in things like hard boiled eggs and pickled vegetables to her diet.
Last week, she shared how she made a healthy turkey wrap, as she took sliced turkey breast and put it in a sheet of nori.
The star added in lettuce, avocado, hot sauce, everything bagel seasoning, and roasted red pepper to complete the wrap.
In another video, she shared a second snack recipe, which was a cucumber salad with a drizzle of her Skinnygirl Caesar Salad and Tajin seasoning on it.
She even gave some healthy dessert ideas to her followers, showing herself eating a combination of chocolate-flavored yogurt and sour tart cherries by the brand Fruit Riot.
'This is one for the books,' Frankel said in the clip. 'Run.'
In the past, the star has also shared her love of chicken and tuna salad with her social media followers, as well as gummy candy.
