Tyra Banks;America's Next Top Model host looks exhausted as she struggles through a work-out

As the host of America’s Next Top Model, she instructs her protégées on how to take the perfect picture.
But Tyra Banks was certainly not ready for her close-up as she went for a jog in New York this morning.
The 38-year-old, long regarded as one of the world's most beautiful women, was almost unrecognizable as she emerged without a scrap of make-up for the exercise session.

Showing the strain: Model Tyra Banks was spotted running along the Hudson river in New York City this morning

She looked a world away from the professionally coiffed version of herself as she exercised in a dressed in a zip-up top and three-quarter length trousers.

 

She also wrapped her hair in a patterned bandana which could be seen underneath her cap.
As she worked out along the Hudson River, she was clearly out of breath pounding the pavements and struggled to endure her session.

Fighting a battle: Banks has struggled to maintain her slender figure in the past

But Tyra, whose weight has fluctuated over the years, powered through and it was obvious she was determined to complete the run.
It was a rather different look to her recent public appearances in New York last week.
And she arrived at the Live! With Kelly and Michael studios with a big and bouncy bouffant.

Staying trim: But the America's Next Top Model host and judge stuck at it

She tossed her hair around as she smouldered for the camera and posed while glancing back over her shoulder.
She also sat in the front row at the Marchesa and Jeremy Scott shows at New York Fashion Week.
Tyra’s show ANTM kicked off its astonishing 19th cycle at the end of last month.
