Nikki Leigh "5 Year Anniversary Cover Model" NIKKI’S WORLD

Military Appreciation, Cartwheels & Sunflower Seeds

First off Nikki, congratulations on landing the cover of our 5-Year Anniversary issue. It seems as if we have been talking about shooting a cover for 5 years.

I can’t believe it has been 5 years. I know I was in the 2013 Swimsuit Issue but I am excited to finally shoot a cover for Kandy. One thing I learned in life was patience is a virtue and I am honored to be on the 5 Year Anniversary cover.

CARTWHEELS AND HAPPINESS

As we were reviewing the photos we noticed you’ve got some serious biceps. What’s your fitness regimen? 

One thing I know about fitness is to always keep your body guessing. Don’t do the same workout regimen all the time which is why I like to do sports and try new things. I was a gymnast when I was a little girl and I was always doing handstands and cartwheels. I have had these arms since I was like 5.

Do you still do handstands and cartwheels?

I’ll do a cartwheel every now and then. When I feel extra happy.

Have you been able to get your workouts in while on location in Turkey?

I travel with resistance bands and occasionally I get into the hotel gym. It has been tough due to the early call times.
