Alessandra Ambrosio 'did a lot of cardio' for steamy bikini body in GQ

Victoria's Secret model and mother of one Alessandra Ambrosio gets steamy in her recent photo shoot for UK's GQ magazine.

Alongside co-angel Ana Beatriz Barro, Alessandra donned a cut-out black swimsuit for the sultry spread.

Reportedly working out at least four days, the 28-year-old model has been busy preparing for the Fall season of photoshoots for the new holiday catalog and pre-promotions for the annual Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.

At 5-foot-10, Alessandra has cleaned up her diet and cranked up the workout moves to get her body back after giving birth to her first child in August of last year.

"Last year, because I had a baby and I had to lose pounds, I did a lot of cardio," she said in a past interview. Adding, "This year is all about weights, squats and lunges."

The two girls of this month's UK GQ will hit the runway on December 1st to smash out the latest fashions for the lingerie line. The show is set to debut on CBS on December 1 at 10PM.
