The Victoria's Secret Angels are, well, angels. They're totally gorgeous -- and they definitely work hard for it (wearing super-cute VSX workout gear, no less!). Two of our favorite girls, Lindsay Ellingson and Candice Swanepoel fill in our blanks and spill their secrets to SELF. But expect more from the ladies this week: Each day, we'll be rolling out a new workout video from the team at Victoria's Secret Sport exclusively on SELF. So you know what to do: Learn about the Angels today, spend rest of the week copying their fitness moves. Done.

LINDSAY SAYS...
1. If I could only do one workout, I'd dance! It's fun and tones your body beautifully.

2. When I need extra motivation, I tell myself [I'm not competing in an] Iron Man!

3. I can't stop moving when "Turn the Night Up" by Enrique Inglesias comes on my iPod.

4. After a great workout, I feel so healthy and happy!

5. When hunger strikes at 3 PM, I grab a Greek yogurt with honey and berries.

6. You're at Victoria's Secret and have only $20 to spend. You're buying...The Victoria Parfum rollerball, $18, for my purse!

7. Sunday mornings at 11 AM, you'll find me at brunch with my puppy Carly.

8. No one knows that I am nauseated by velvet fabric.

CANDICE SAYS...
1. If I could only do one workout, I'd box or do yoga.

2. When I need extra motivation, I tell myself I'll feel better after [a workout].

3. I can't stop moving when Dancehall-style music comes on my iPod.

4. After a great workout, I feel rejuvenated and sexy.

5. When hunger strikes at 3 PM, I grab anything I'm craving. [Ed. note: Lucky! - RJ]

6. You're at Victoria's Secret and have only $20 to spend. You're buying...lipstick. (At SELF, we're big fans of the Sheer Drama Hydrating Lipstick, $14, which provides just the right amount of color with a hefty dose of moisturizing agents, too.)

7. Sunday mornings at 11 AM, you'll find me in bed, or having a big breakfast.

8. No one knows that I speak Portuguese.
