Hudson has a busy schedule, but she still manages to get a workout in. She says to SELF that she likes to do quick, easy workouts when she’s busy in the mornings. "I'm one of those people who, it'll be early in the morning and I'll be in a robe getting my hair done, and I'll use my Hot5 app—and do push-ups for five minutes!"

3. She Believes In Balance

Hudson eats pretty healthy, however, she doesn’t like to deprive herself. She tells SELF thats he believes in a balanced diet. "If I want to go out and eat at a restaurant with amazing food, I'll do that, like, once a week where I'm not thinking about it," she says. "I want to indulge! I want to do things that are not necessarily healthy sometimes."

4. She Loves To Dance

Hudson loves to dance as a way of staying in shape. She’s danced in projects like Glee and Nine. She tells SELF, "It just makes me feel so much better. You know how you see dancers always crying? It's like reconnecting with an old self."

5. She Does Simple Leg Workouts

Hudson’s trainer, Brian Nyguyen, broke down the actress’ lower body workouts to Shape. He says that he likes to keep it simple. "We live and die by the basics," he says.

1. She Prioritizes Her Health, Mind and Body

In her book Pretty Happy: Healthy Ways to Love Your Body, Kate promotes the importance of well-being. She understands life can get busy, especially seeing how her mother, Goldie Hawn, handled raising her, but it’s still so important to put your mental and physical health first. "I'm finally at a place in my life where if someone wants to know what I do to stay healthy, why not tell them?" she asks. "Why not put it out there?" She’s not gatekeeping her tricks and wants to promote a healthy lifestyle to other busy women

2. She Dances Her Way To A Slim Figure

"Dancing is the thing for me," she says. "It just makes me feel so much better." We got a little taste of her dancing skills on the show Glee when she guest starred as Cassandra, Rachel Berry's dance teacher in college. She loves to take classes in a more structured environment and sometimes just freestyle, being goofy on her own. Blasting music in the comfort of her own house. "Sometimes I'll lock myself in a room and dance. I'll turn music on as loud as possible and just get weird!" she says, laughing.

3. She’s Not Afraid To Switch It Up

She is constantly changing a lot in her life, and that includes her workouts. "Change is my constant,” she says. "I change my routine. I change my look. I change my mind," said Hudson. When it comes to her fitness routine, that’s the thing she likes to switch up the most. "I'll do Tracy Anderson, I'll do Body by Simone, I do everything," Hudson said. "Nothing, literally nothing, makes me feel like I'm back to my body more than pilates," she says. "I'll travel, and I'll go for a run or I'll spin, but when I go home and get on the reformer or the Cadillac, my body immediately goes back. I can see an instant shift."

4. She Does What's Best For Her Body

She really avoids fads and just does what works for her own individual body and what she enjoys doing. "I don't judge my practice, ever,” she says. She loves challenging her mind and body with transcendental meditation and Kundalini. "You could sit there and not think of your mantra for your whole practice, but you're still benefiting," she says. She's also a big believer in taking a day or two to yourself. "Throw that idea of 'I have to, I have to, I have to' out the window."

5. She’s Mindful and Makes an Effort to Eat Breakfast

Just like exercising, when it comes to Kate's eating, she tries not to obsess, but also to stay mindful. She aims to have five small meals each day, trying to pick mostly plant-based options. "I've pretty much cut meat out," she says. "I don't remember the last time I ate a steak." She sometimes has difficulty with her morning routine, not being much of a breakfast person but has heard that it’s important to eat something in the morning. "The hardest thing for me is eating right when I get up, because I don't like to. I'm not one of those people who wakes up hungry," she explains. "I wake up and I want coffee and even a green juice, but everybody says you've got to eat something, even if it's little. So that's sort of the hardest, but I realize that when I do, I eat less during the day or late at night."

Kate Hudson knows the value of a good look. That’s why her latest post is so notable: “The way I look at my favorite new @kingstvodka cocktail says a lot,” she captioned a post of her on the beach in a bikini, gazing into a cocktail glass filled with King St. Vodka, her brand. “We can’t take our eyes off of you either,” the vodka brand commented back.

1. This is What Motivates Her

What motivates Kate? “For me, I know that when I'm active, when I'm healthy, when I'm strong, I feel so much better. It never leaves me. I get motivated to do different things, though. One of the things that I find helps a lot of people, number one, is support—like friends, apps, cute clothes. When you look good in something, it does motivate you to say, 'Okay, I'm going to take a walk' or 'I'm going to go for a hike' or 'You know what, I'm going to walk around the block.' The little, tiny things can be really motivating,” she told The Thirty.

2. This is Her Beauty Regimine

"When anyone asks me about my beauty regime, my answer is always sleep, water, and healthy food. For me, that's where it all starts. Beauty really comes from how we treat our bodies and how we honor ourselves," Hudson told Marie Claire.

3. She Worked Out at Home During Quarantine

“But the one thing that did change a lot for me is I got really excited about doing my own fitness—not feeling like I had to go anywhere but actually getting into all the different things that were out there. It was really fun dancing with people on live feeds, and then, I discovered so many different apps,” she told The Thirty. “I go back and forth between a couple of different things. We did just launch our fitness app for Fabletics, and they're doing a great job, but it's brand-new, so I'll talk about other apps as well. I like an app called Obé. What I love about Obé is it's hard. I find that in some apps, it's not a really hard workout. It seems I can get a real workout, especially with the 45-minute ones.”

4. This is Why She Started Her Own Supplement Line

She created her own supplement company, called INBLOOM. “I hate pills,” Hudson told ELLE.com. “And I actually like when things absorb quicker, so I created powders." Why? “I've been asked to do a lot of beauty [in my career], whether it be makeup or skincare, and I love all of it, but I'm a big believer in beauty being an inside-out experience,” she told the website. “And so I thought, what better way than to start with a system that I could create, that could support health and nutrition and wellness. I wanted to create an easy, accessible, premium program so that you're getting top ingredients, that there are no synthetics. I wanted everything to be very pure and very little filler.”

5. She Makes Me Time

“I do check out. I go away with [my family], usually to our ranch in Colorado. I sit and look out at the mountains," she told Women’s Health. "My doctor says I should be going away on my own, but I’ll do that when my kids are a little bit older.”

Kate Hudson is flaunting her engagement ring—and her flat abs! The 42-year-old actress hit the red carpet of the 2021 Met Gala, “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion,” in New York City on Monday night, showing off her new bling and her abfab figure in a powder pink Michael Kors bikini top and column skirt.

1. She Maintains Accountability

Kate uses WW to stay accountable. "My struggle is not in weight loss," she told the Today Show. "Mine is about staying healthy, trying to stay focused and balanced." She also added: "One of the things about this re-imagining of WW is it's not just about weight, it's about wellness. To me, it's all about support. ... Everyone's looking to how do you get motivated, how do you stay motivated?"

2. She Takes Supplements

Kate takes supplements from her INBLOOM line, which she founded on the belief that beauty starts from the inside out. “Really where it started for me was beauty. Magazines would always ask me, you know, 'What are your favorite beauty products? What do you do to keep your skin looking rested?'" she explained to InStyle. "My answer was always, ‘I know this is boring, but it's an inside out job.’"

3. She Exercises Nearly Every Day

Kate makes fitness a priority. "Now that Rani is getting a little bit older and her nap schedule is longer, I've been able to work out at least 30 minutes a day, maybe five times a week,” she told InStyle. “I make sure that I don't go a day without doing something for 30 minutes. I've been doing that since April and I've noticed enormous changes in my body."

4. She Dabbles in Different Workouts

Kate maintains variety with her workouts "I do everything. I have to switch it up, I get so bored," she told InStyle. "I've been loving the Obé app, they have 20-minute workouts that are really hard and if you do them with the proper form they're really effective. I love my yoga apps, like Glo, and I use Body by Simone and Tracy Anderson's apps too — there's nothing better than her abs workout. I love my Peloton. I love Pilates — that's always been my number one."

5. She Likes the Way Exercise Makes Her Feel

Kate’s focus when working out is feeling good. “I’ve always felt that wellness is about your quality of life,” she explained to Women's Health. “You need to know what makes you feel good. It’s about doing the things you love, eating the things you want to, exercising and not feeling like you need to [push yourself] for two hours in a hot room. You can just take a nice walk and still be healthy.”

6. She Is a Yogi

Kate is a longtime yogi like her mother, Goldie Hawn. "It's about understanding your own individual likes, not fads," she revealed to SELF. "Anything you do helps. You could sit there and not think of your mantra for your whole practice, but you're still benefiting.”
