The sexy actress wants to workout because she wants to take care of her body and live life her own way.

Working Out With Friends

While talking to Self, the Ray actress has acknowledged that she goes for hiking with her fellow actresses on a regular basis. They have made it a kind of group ritual and they hike around Los Angeles.

No Workout to Get Back in Shape

Unlike most of the new moms, the versatile actress is not working out to get her pre baby body back. She just wants to be the best version of herself. She calls her body a miracle site as it has birthed her little angel. Hence, she does not want to go back to the pre-miracle stage.

On Being a New Mom

Washington seems to be enjoying motherhood and trying to be a good mom. She recently stated that she wants to be such a mom, which her daughter wants to be, not a mom which she wants to be. Good thought, we must say.

Workout Inspiration

Her character “Olivia Pope” (from TV series Scandal) inspires Kerry to workout a lot and stay fit. Olivia inspires her to believe that she can handle any situation and has the capacity to do anything she wants. Strenuous shooting to play Olivia’s character is another reason to stay fit. When Kerry has to run with three cameras on or hold a gun while wearing negligee, she really loves being flexible and strong.

Diet Secrets

Morning Routine

Daily Mail reported that Kerry, who is one of Time magazine’s 100 Most Influential People in the World (for 2014) believes in following the same morning diet plan that includes having a green smoothie that is complemented by romaine, celery and apple designed by Glow Bar. She stays away from coffee.

Diet Rules

The stunner believes in eating organic and local foods as her body demands them. She is not a vegan or vegetarian but she still keeps the quantity of animal protein to a minimum.

Less Alcohol

Alcohol doesn’t suit the beautiful actress, so she takes it only when she is enjoying a holiday on a beach. And never consumes it when she has to shoot the next day.
