I box a lot, I spin and I surf. I try to mix it up. I obviously have to be in shape 24 hours and the gym can be super monotonous, so I just get outside and try to make it fun so my body doesn't get bored.
I always felt, even before I got pregnant, that it's better to accentuate your curves. A lot of women try to tuck their butt in or kind of slouch because they're trying to hide. Obviously, you can't suck it in, but it's important to really show off the belly.
Eighty percent of the things I do are not natural for my personality. I believe you have to fake it till you make it. Act like you're confident and you'll get there.
Eating smart is all about having an awareness of your body. The most obvious way to do that is by seeing it. So when you're trying to lose weight, spend more time wearing less. I don't think I could eat a plate of nachos naked - could you?
Working your obliques pulls everything together and gives you a slim waist.
I don't know why, but it means a lot to get a compliment from a woman.
I always wanted to represent the natural, healthy girl, and I didn't care if it was cool or trendy to look like you hadn't eaten in two weeks.
For acting, if there's a strong female role and there is that action element, for me that just feels really natural.
Enjoy the moment and appreciate what you have.
I have to have music playing constantly. It creates the tone and mood for anything you are doing. I specifically love rock, and Jimi Hendrix is one of my favorite artists. My favorite song is 'Red House,' because it's heavy on the blues.
I'd heard that swimming feels so good when you're pregnant, and I love being in the ocean. I was even paddle boarding up until 17 weeks, but then my center of gravity and balance were completely off.
I can pick up any sport pretty quickly - believe me, I know how to throw a football.
I like to have curves and feel like a woman. I hope that people see that in my photos and know that healthy is better than skinny.
I'd love to design my own swim collection for them (VS)...Heidi (Klum) does the lipsticks, I would love to one day do the bikinis.
