Advertising her new Fabletics workout gear, Kate Hudson flaunts that famous toned physique and her washboard abs.

So it’s a good thing the star has gone further than just revealing the outfits she loves to wear when breaks a sweat. The star has spilled the beans on some of her favourite exercises and ways she gets motivated.

“I believe that with anything in life, you need motivation,” she said. So what gets Kate moving?

“My rule is to try and break a sweat six days a week, whether through an intense workout or running around with the kids. I just try to break a sweat,” Hudson told The Zoe Report. Photo: Fabletics

“I’m a DVD girl,” Hudson told People. “I always go back to the Brazilian Butt lift DVD, which is really fun and a good workout for when you’re traveling. You can follow the program.” Photo: Fabletics

“Even if you are a mom, and you have a million things to do and the kids are at school, I love the DVDs. They make it hard to say you didn’t have the time.” Photo: Fabletics

“If you are going to be active, it starts with putting on your clothes,” she told People. “If you feel good in them you might want to show up to the spin class or yoga class.” Photo: Fabletics

Her work-out must-have are leggings because you can factor your work-out into everyday life. “I wear mine to work out, and then, they can be worn out to lunch or to run errands in,” she told The Zoe Report. Photo: Fabletics

“Music for me is one of the most motivating factors, maybe because I danced for a long time as a hobby,” she told People. Photo: Fabletics

“Sometimes a really earnest sad depressing song will actually be what motivates me. I’ll just start doing really bad contemporary dance to some really emotional song.” Photo: Fabletics

“When I want a good workout I like old school hip hop — ‘Can I Kick It’ always seems to get me revved up. Aerosmith’s Big Ones is also a great album to put on when working out — Steven Tyler at his best. It’s nostalgic and hard hitting. And then of course anything girlie. Beyoncé is great. Any of the beautifully empowered females.” Photos: Fabletics

Kate says isn’t strict about what she eats, so long as she keeps up the good work in the gym.
