Funny girl Kristen Bell graces the cover of the latest Women’s Health magazine in sexy heels and hot thigh-hugging dress. But how does the 29-year-old maintain her figure? The Veronica Mars actress shared her secrets with the magazine as she graces the cover of its November issue.

“I made a New Year’s resolution five years ago to always take the stairs,” Kristen tells the magazine. “Even at the airport, I won’t take the escalators. I find that those little bits of exercise make a difference.”

The blonde bombshell also does yoga to “stay aware” of her body and builds muscle during training twice a week.

Kristen shared a meal with the Women’s Health team and ordered fried egg whites on rye with lettuce, tomato, avocado, cheese, and a little mayonnaise. The actress says it’s a very healthy meal, but the mayo “gives it that dinner feel”.

You might also be pleased to know that Kristen counts her calories. Why? Because the numbers somehow make her aware of what she’s putting into her body.

Kristen Bell stars in the film Couples Retreat alongside Kristin Davis, Jason Bateman, Malin Akerman and the two funny guys, Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreua. While filming in Bora Bora Kristen became popular amongst cast members because she stocked her luggage with healthy snacks for the trip. Jason Bateman said,

“She was like the [grocery store]. We all would go by and ask her for little treats and stuff. She was a big hit.”

The 29-year-old actress told People Magazine that when she travels she is always sure to bring snacks along and she likes to know what she’s eating. As for her trip to Bora Bora she wasn’t sure what the food was like there so she brought along healthy choices such as granola bars, Power Bars, Luna Bars and even some butterscotch pudding. She said,

“I knew that all I needed was water and a mini-fridge, both of which I had in Bora Bora – in my contract,” she laughed. “I made little dishes of pudding, and we had them for dessert.”

Couples Retreat is in theaters October 9th.

Granola bars, Power Bars,  and Luna Bars are all what I would call faux health foods. These are highly processed foods that will cause weight gain and are very unhealthy. Don’t get tricked by the slick advertising. Remember if it has a bar code on it, it’s most likely not good for you. The ironic part of all this is that Bora, Bora most probably has incredible seafood and wonderful produce. My recommendation is to travel with an open mind and keep the junk food at home. Nuff said!

Kristen Bell is one of the stars of the romantic comedy Couple’s Retreat and she’s on the cover of the October issue of Self Magazine with co-stars Kristen Davis and Malin Akerman. Although the magazine has yet to be on news stands Kristen Bell did reveal some information about her diet and exercise habits during the behind the scenes photo shoot. When asked about her healthy habits she said she tries to be as active as possible but likes for it to be a social activity where she still feels like she gets a workout. She said,

“It’s so hard to schedule workouts for anybody so I try to do activites with my friends. So like instead of watching movies on Saturday we’ll go play ultimate frisbee or hiking with the dogs, or bike riding.”

Kristen was also asked how she stays fit and again she replied that it’s all about being active and going on hikes. But she did mention that she doesn’t like the monotony of weight training and prefers whole body workouts such as doing a pilates video or a Thai-Bo video. Lastly, the actress was asked if she has any guilty pleasures and she had quite a humorous response; she loves boxed cake, especially yellow butter cake. She confessed,

“Sometimes, I don’t even cook it, I’ll just straight up eat the batter.”

Most of us know Kristen Bell as Veronica from the series Veronica Mars.  But she also has an on and off again career on the big screen.  Most recently, she had a starring role in the film Forgetting Sarah Marshall where she had to wear a bikini during the majority of the film.  Because she knew about the bikini-bearing role she decided to get in shape before filming.

From the looks of her, one would think that she was doing a lot of stomach crunches, but what she actually did was practice plenty of boxing.

“I have never had abs like this from sit-ups,” she said “It’s boxing that works. I love it! It’s a whole body workout and it lets out aggression that I didn’t know I had.” She continues, “You’re doing the motions over and over and you don’t realize how much you activate your core.”

And she’s right, the more you do the better your speed, co-ordination, cardio fitness and strength.
