2. She Cooks

One way that Decker eats healthy? She cooks a lot of her own food. "When you're cooking at home and you know what you're putting in your food, I don't think you have to be that strict," she explains to Women’s Health. "I don't always think it needs to be grilled chicken over greens. A lot of times I make my homemade pasta so I know what's going in the pasta. It's not that challenging and it's worth it."

3. She Doesn’t Pressure Herself

Decker opened up about the pressure to lose weight after having her kids to E! News. She says that she didn’t pressure herself too much. "I always tell mothers, like, that should be the last thing on your mind. After you have a baby, please do not think about trying to lose weight. Just feed your baby. Love on your baby. You have a newborn. Your body is trying to heal. You will know when your body is ready. Don't listen to your brain telling you, 'Lose weight, lose weight.' You'll know when you physically feel like, 'OK, I feel like I'm ready to kind of have that energy and can run around.'"

4. She Does Lunges

Decker shared some of her favorite exercises in this Instagram video. In it, she is seen doing lunges. ACE Fitness states that lunges are a great exercise to do. “Lunges work the biggest muscles in your lower body — mainly the quadriceps, gluteus maximus, and the adductor magnus (the muscle in your inner thigh). Other muscles that come into play are the hamstrings, gluteus medius, calves, and core stabilizers, says Susane Pata, content strategist for the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) and NASM-certified personal trainer based in Miami.”
