"She usually works out six days a week," Anna said, confessing that despite Kelly's hectic work and family life, she always makes time for fitness. "Even when she travels, she'll do the workouts virtually if she needs to. Everyone knows that is her hour, morning or evening, she gets 45 minutes in and that is her time."

She added: "Even if she's had no sleep, she still shows up. If she's exhausted, she still shows up and then we decide how and what we do that day."

While there's no denying Kelly looks after her body which means fueling it with a balanced diet, she's not against a cheat day. 

"She has a healthy diet but she loves dessert," Anna revealed. "I say to her that it is really important to have a balance, but when you go on vacation you want to enjoy different cuisines.

"Kelly knows this more than anyone, the more you tell yourself not to do something, the more you're gonna want to do it. So allow yourself to enjoy food as part of life."

Kelly even confessed to fans that she very occassionally indulges in fast food!

"I had a Big Mac and large fries," Kelly quipped on Live!. "It was so fun! I was like, 'This is crazy!'"

"I just never went back to it," she later said. “It wasn’t even really a thought process. It felt great, I felt like I looked great, I felt like I didn’t feel hungover."

Kelly added to Parade: "Not that we were sitting around drinking day and night, but I think that there is something about like clean living — maybe that's what did it. Maybe that's the difference."
