Elyse Knowles: Instagram moments

Elyse Knowles has left her followers in a spin yet again.

Almost every time the 27-year-old model posts a bikini snap it causes a frenzy among her nearly 1 million Instagram followers – and this image is no different.

Laying on a wooden board with her hands over her head, the former Block alumni sported a tiny pink bikini with her washboard abs on full display.

“Her body...I die,” one fan wrote.

“How are you so gorgeous wow,” a second said.

“Omg your rig,” a third commented, with another saying, “How are you even real?

While many were in awe of her super toned physique, others were interested in why the WaterAid ambassador was dipping her blonde locks into the murky river behind her.

“When you feel 100% comfortable washing your hair in the river because the shampoo and conditioner you use has NO NASTIES,” Elyse captioned her five images, tagging Aveda Australia.

When it comes to the environment, Elyse is very passionate.

In March last year, she joined thousands of Aussies who made water their only beverage for a month to raise money for WaterAid as part of its Water Challenge.

Prior to that she had visited WaterAid’s work in Delhi, India where she met families living in slums with limited access to water, toilets and hygiene facilities.

“I saw first hand the MASSIVE impact of not having it (water). Everyday we turn the tap on for a glass of water, wash ourselves in the shower, flush a toilet, wash our food, feel safe and secure when going to the bathroom,” Elyse said in a post at the time

”These are all things we take for granted in Australia that so many around the world still live without.”

To really push for a more environmentally-conscious lifestyle, Knowles and her boyfriend Josh Barker, who won the 2017 season of The Block, made the decision to move to Byron Bay, New South Wales.

They settled into a $1.5 million sustainable bohemian-style rented property with three double bedrooms, wide verandas and a self-contained studio apartment attached.

“It’s very different (from Melbourne). Everyone always smiles and always says hello. That was one of the first things I noticed,” Elyse told Daily Mail at the time.

“The community is more environmentally conscious. (You see it in the) conversations that people have every single day … talking about the ocean and the marine life.”

FITNESS ROUTINE

Last year, Elyse revealed some of the intense workouts behind her super toned figure.

She posted a video and series of snaps doing a bunch of ab, leg, booty and arm exercises with her most prized possession — a trusty skateboard.

“Summer favourite toy, for a summer bod,” Elyse had captioned the post.

Even though the model tagged the post “summer body”, she explained that leading a healthy lifestyle required the same commitment levels all year round “because your physical and mental wellness is everything”.

In her blog, the Myer ambassador said she liked to keep her workouts varied during the week to keep her body guessing and to activate different muscles.

You will find her doing high intensity sessions, stair runs, surfing and boxing to pilates, weights and going on long walks.
