Lisa Michelle Dixon: Exceptionally Talented and Highly Accomplished Model reveals her Workout, Diet and Beauty Secrets   

Ms. Namita Nayyar: You move from United States to Europe 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 you can give to fellow models in a similar situation?

Ms. Lisa Michelle Dixon: I went to France not knowing anything but "bonjour" and "merci" and I was actually very sick when I went. I lived there for three months, then Brighton, UK then Ireland and back to France. Which I repeated for two years. In France I worked on music videos. There was always someone who spoke English and if not my husband at that time could translate for me. I loved experiencing different cultures and seeing such beautiful history we don't have in the U.S.

If I were to give anyone advice it is most people speak English so it's not as scary as I thought it would be. Make friends and enjoy it. Learning to be a part of someone else's culture is a privilege and can open your mind to a whole new world.
 

Ms. Namita Nayyar: You are world leading media personality, model, photographer, actress and a brand ambassador. How you manage such a remarkable multi-dimensional lifestyle?

Ms. Lisa Michelle Dixon: Now that I'm older I am definitely moving more into the photography world. Being on set is my passion so I guess managing everything just came naturally. Over the years I've signed with agents to take some stress off of my self management. Yet I still seem to find myself making all of my plans and just seeing if their job or audition can fit in my schedule.

Ms. Namita Nayyar: What exercises comprise your fitness regime or workout routine you may wish to share?

Ms. Lisa Michelle Dixon: Mom started me out at the gym when I was twelve and I grew up riding dirt bikes. So I'm lucky to have a lot of muscle memory. At the gym I do cardio for twenty minutes. I hear you only need ten but I like to read when I'm on a machine. So I take the time to do it and make my gym experience enjoyable. I'm honestly not a runner but I will do the elliptical or stair master to get my blood pumping.

Then I'm all about light weights at higher repetitions. My shoulders build up very quickly so I try to stay away from those at the gym. As I do an hour or two of yoga in my evenings to unwind before bed which gives my arms and shoulders more of a workout.
