Paola KudackiThe Energizer Bunny has nothing on Karlie Kloss. The supermodel has been landing gigs nonstop this year.
Her latest? The 22-year-old is covering the August issue of Self magazine, showcasing her long, lean and ultra-toned physique in and angular Proenza Schouler body suit. She strikes a series of acrobatic poses for the glossy's spread, leaping over hurdles (while showcasing her seriously stunning gams) and going head first in a stunning high jump.
Sorry—is this a photo shoot or a track and field event? We can hardly tell the difference!
"I feel like I'm perpetually in motion, which I love," Kloss dished to Self in her cover story. "The reason why I've had a career is because I can move."
And move she can—whether it's on the runway, showing off her rock-hard abs for Express Denim or posing alongside pal Joan Smalls for Joe Fresh's fall campaign, Kloss is on a model role as of later. It's a no brainer as to why, though, considering her flawless bone structure, athletic poise and her contagious charisma (she is best friends with Taylor Swift, after all).
Along with Kloss' striking display, Self mag features six top-tier athletes as part of the best bodies issue, giving each lady a shout out for the best part of her body.
The breakdown goes…
Best butt: Olympic triathlete Helen Jenkins
Best abs: fencer Nathalie Moellhausen
Best back: Olympic swimmer Natalie Coughlin
Best legs: pole vaulter Tori Peña
Best arms: volleyball players Rachael Adams & Christa Harmotto Dietzen
According to her trainer, Justin Gelband, Kloss is in good company amongst these A-list athletes, telling Self of her hardcore fitness regimen: "She's one of the hardest-working clients I've ever had."
