I don’t do that much cardio, because I run around so much," she added, revealing that she works out at least four times a week for an hour at a time, often targeting "butts and guts" to tone her booty and abs. "I feel like even if you’re a little bit heavier, it’s all about toning your body. Work with what you’re working with, but keep it tight."

2. She Refuses to Diet
