Kate Hudson keeps fit with the help of her children
Kate Hudson likes to involve her children in her workout routine, quite literally.
The actress admits that lifting them and squatting with them on her back is a great workout.
Her two sons, 10-year-old Ryder from her marriage to ex-husband Chris Robinson and her three-year-old Bing with her long-term boyfriend Matt Bellamy, are often included as part of her exercise regime.
Talking to Women's Health magazine about her unusual technique, Kate said: "I love exercising with my kids! I'll walk around for a couple of hours with Bing on my back - that's a workout. And I've been kick-boxing with Ryder. I can do squats with him on my back. He's 10 now, so he's starting to get a little heavy ... but I can still do it. I'll probably get another year out of him, then Bing's next.
"I've also bench pressed Bing before now. The kids love it - and after about five lifts, you're exhausted."
The 35-year-old star is also keen to expand her Fabletics gym line, which aims to give women cute outfits to wear while they workout.
She explained: "I want to do everything from lingerie to dresses and bathing suits.
"I love designing and this is the kind of stuff that I wear every day as a mum. I'm really passionate about being active, but it's hard. I think it's something that women need to inspire each other to do. Even I need a girlfriend to get me to a spinning or yoga class. But if you have something that you feel good in, it's the first step to get you into the gym."
