For mother-of-two Jennifer Garner, exemplifying a healthy way of living is an important aspect of teaching her daughters healthy habits.
In an interview with iVillage, Garner explains, “I think if your kids see you exercising they’ll grow up exercising [...] They’ll assume that it’s always part of life. If they think it feels good to move your body, they’ll want to do it as they get older.”
In addition to keeping active, Garner serves daughters Violet Anne, 4 1/2, and Seraphina Rose Elizabeth, 20 months, healthy and nutritious foods.
Kids and healthy foods? I can practically hear the “veg-able” protest beginning. Since getting young children to eat nutritious foods can be challenging at best, Jennifer shares a healthy hint that helps her at dinner time.
“My big thing with vegetables lately is, ‘How many colors are you going to eat tonight?’” she explains. “Choose your colors. [...] My girls will eat red and yellow peppers. I’ll put all of that out and see what I can get down them.”
Hm. This is so simple that it just might work!

Scroll down to see a handful of mom-celebs spotted on the street in recent days, dressed (to the nines) to sweat…
The already very fit Victoria Beckham has gotten on board with a new exercise called Yogalosophy.
Who? What? Whasat?
Yogalosophy is a new fitness fad that combines yoga and astrology. How that second part sheds the pounds is one for science to figure out, but it apparently aids in aligning spirit in mind.
Mandy Ingber, the creator of the form explains it on her web site as: “Changing my attitude affects my emotions, and my body changes accordingly.
Heidi Klum, who modeled for Victoria’s Secret just five weeks after giving birth to daughter Lou in October, reveals her secret to her rockin’ bod.
Recently, Reebok invited us to hang out with New York City’s Real Housewives Kelly and Jill for a cupcake crawl through lower Manhattan, stopping at all the famous cupcake spots for a treat before moving on, en masse, in our new EasyTone sneakers.
