"  Though it might still be gloomy outside, it&amp;#039;s officially spring, which means summer\u2014and bathing suit season\u2014is right around the corner. In honor of Victoria&amp;#039;s Secret&amp;#039;s new swim collection, we shared a green juice and a chat with Victoria&amp;#039;s Secret Angel Behati Prinsloo, who gave us the lowdown on last-minute body beautifying tips, the most flattering bikinis, and how to look good in a bathing-suit selfie. What are some of your go-to workout tips for summer? For summer, I definitely love doing stuff outside. I love beach volleyball if you&amp;#039;re close to something like that. It&amp;#039;s really fun, you can do it with a lot of friends. I do love stand-up paddle boarding, that&amp;#039;s a really great workout. Yoga, Pilates\u2014In the summer I really love to be outdoors, so I try to keep it like, hiking, and going to the beach and doing fun things.

I mean, same thing, maybe just try to work out a little bit more, go to the gym, do some kickboxing, take a lesson that you haven&amp;#039;t done. Dancing lessons\u2026I&amp;#039;ve been wanting to do this dance class\u2014Candace [Swanepoel] was telling me about it\u2014Zumba. It seems awesome, so I want to try that. I think trying something fun that challenges you and that&amp;#039;s not just you on an elliptical is always fun. I can&amp;#039;t deal with the gym too much if I don&amp;#039;t have somebody telling me what to do. So before we have to do a shoot or anything like that, we usually try to do some kickboxing, eat a little healthier, try to cut out salt.

Do you have any tips for taking a picture in your bathing suit? Is there an ideal body angle? I think side is always nice, hand on the hip, knowing your best angle obviously. Everybody&amp;#039;s different so it&amp;#039;s hard to tell somebody what to do, but I think the side one is always nice.

Lo-Fi and Valencia are pretty good. But I think the one called X-Pro is my favorite. Do you add anything to your beauty routine in preparation for summer? I think for summer it&amp;#039;s always fun to feel a little tanned. I don&amp;#039;t believe in going to a tanning bed, but I do think that putting a little bronzer on. Not a lot, don&amp;#039;t go and get yourself spray tanned, but I mean a nice glow always makes me feel better, especially after winter when you go to the beach and you feel pasty. Someone next to you is all &amp;quot;summer-ready.&amp;quot; Usually I&amp;#039;m like, blue, which I feel like I am right now. I think a nice glow is a good tip for the summer. Putting some surf spray in your hair, just getting into that summer, surf vibe.  Which of the new Victoria&amp;#039;s Secret bathing suits is your favorite? I love the rash guard. Do you surf? I do! And you never find anything cute in a store, they always have something on them that I don&amp;#039;t want like a logo. Or they&amp;#039;re long. I do love a crop top, because you can kind of just wear it with a high-waisted skirt in Miami and go out. You don&amp;#039;t have to change.  I got my first high-waisted bathing suit for this summer. It&amp;#039;s flattering, I think it&amp;#039;s very flattering on people. Like, anybody. I feel like guys are going to think it&amp;#039;s granny. Yeah, guys are so not into high-waisted things. I love high-waisted jeans. We all think that high-waisted things are flattering and awesome and beautiful and we&amp;#039;re rocking it, and guys are always like &amp;#039;Ugh, she&amp;#039;s wearing those high-waisted pants.&amp;#039; Please enable Javascript to watch this video Photos: Courtesy of Victoria&amp;#039;s Secret "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
