"In my 20s, I thought a workout had to be something that was punishing, like 45 minutes of running and you had to hate it the whole time," she said. 

"I don't have that relationship with exercise anymore," saying about her eating habits: "I just am really for the first time in my life, trying moderation, and I love it."

The actress has embraced living a life of moderation over intense regimens

star continued: "Sometimes I'll be like, 'Well, I have four different times today where I have 10 minutes so let's just walk instead of sitting down and checking Instagram.'

"So instead of it being like one chunk of exercise in the beginning of the day or none at all, I'm now just deciding that I'm going to be a more active person all the time."
