Remarkably, Marcus Schenkenberg has found the fountain of youth! The 43-year-old model and entrepreneur looks pretty much exactly like he did when he was modeling with Cindy Crawford for Richard Avedon in 1994. What's his secret? "I believe that there are four main ingredients to staying youthful and good looking," he told us. "Number one, try to sleep 8 hours a night. That's very important. Number two, exercise regularly. I go to the gym approximately three times a week, which doesn't sound like that much. I'm fortunate, with good genes from mom and dad, so that's enough for me. When I work out, I work out hard. I go for two hours at a strong tempo. Number three, I eat healthy. You are what you eat! Number four, I try to eliminate stress in my life. People with stress in their life age faster than people that don't have a lot." Just a little reminder as we enter the holiday season!
