Brittany Mahomes knows the key to looking incredible in a pinch. 

The former soccer player—who shares kids Sterling,Johnathan Walker 3, and Patrick "Bronze," 17 months, with husband Patrick Mahomes—revealed how she managed to show up for her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit photo shoot feeling her best after being given "literally a week's notice" to prepare for the modeling gig. 

"I always preach that staying consistent in the gym and fueling my body well is what helps me be the best version of myself year-round," Brittany shared in a May 30 Instagram post, "not just during swimsuit season!"

For Brittany, it can be as easy as doing a "simple but effective leg day" workout. Her go-to exercises? Single leg deadlifts, pause squats, curtsey lunges and banded hip thrusts. 

And Brittany understands that staying consistent goes hand-in-hand with personal wellness. After all, her fitness-focused mindset allowed her to recover quickly from a fractured back—an injury caused by pelvic floor complications that arose after childbirth. revealed she was healing from in March. 

"I'm finally fully recovered," Brittany told E! News earlier this month, "and back to doing the things that I've always been able to do."

She continued, "I'm staying on top of my health."

As for another remedy for the fracture? A nice, relaxing trip with her husband and their two little ones.
