She has one of the best bodies in Hollywood and now Gwyneth Paltrow has revealed her secrets to how she manages it.

The 38-year-old actress said she does not obsess about her body shape and that she loves to eat.

The mother of two said she is diligent about her fitness routine but told Self magazine she does allow herself to break away from exercise every now and again in order to maintain her sanity.

“I’ve found what works for me,” she said. “I know if I put in an hour and a half, five days a week, I’m good. If I’m on vacation and, like, ‘f— it, I’m not working out’ I know what to do when I get back.

“A lot of women think, ‘Oh my God, I could never get there’ but I don’t think that’s true. It’s simply relative to how much you put into it.”

Despite her carefree holiday attitude, when she is at home she is at it five days a week.

“I do 45 minutes of cardio five days a week, because I like to eat. I also try for 45 minutes of muscular structure work, which is toning, realigning and lengthening,” she said.

“If I’m prepping for something or I’ve been eating a lot of pie, I do two hours a day, six days a week for two weeks.”
