Minka Kelly Works Out But Shuns the Scale
Minka Kelly, the doe-eyed star of NBC’s Friday Night Lights, tells Health magazine that she works out to stay slim and pencils in a “cheat day” each week to enjoy her favorite dessert- peach cobbler. Looks like ‘cheat days’ are Hollywood’s number one secret to staying satisfied and on track!
“If I didn’t work out as hard as I do, I’d be really thick. That’s also hard, because I love to eat. But it’s about wanting to take care of myself, as opposed to wanting to look a certain way. I don’t really ever stand on a scale.”
Minka’s favorite ways to work out?
“I do a lot of running, which I enjoy for mental reasons, too. I’ll be really frazzled and run for 30 minutes, and everything sort of seems clear again. I did Bikram yoga for a while, and I know that’s not for me. Too hot!”
The former model and current fixture on the arm of New York Yankee Derek Jeter admits that she would consider a cosmetic procedure in the future- but not until absolutely necessary.
“Whatever you have to do to make yourself happy, then I’m all for it. I’m personally afraid to do it at my age, but that’s not to say that when my boobs are down to my knees that I won’t go and get them fixed up.”
