Kate Hudson talks about her inspiration: mom Goldie Hawn

Kate Hudson talks about her inspiration: mom Goldie Hawn

The Oscar winner and mom-of-two opens up about her greatest inspiration in fitness and in life

Oscar winner Kate Hudson has been lighting up the big screen for nearly two decades. Throughout her career, she’s portrayed many memorable roles. She recently added author to her already impressive resume, with the release of her book, Pretty Happy: Healthy Ways to Love Your Body. But, perhaps, the most inspiring of all her endeavors is how she’s committed to staying fit now that she’s a mom.

The 37-year-old has learned to embrace her body—working hard to be healthy and strong—plus: she has found a workout regimen she actually enjoys.

And, her exercise routine of choice? Well, it’s just as spontaneous as she is.

“Some people need structure and a regimen, but I’m not a planner. When I exercise, I need to connect to myself and see how I’m feeling at the moment, because my mood is constantly changing,” revealed Kate to Shape magazine.

On some days, she goes for Pilates or running outdoors. But mostly, she adjusts her routine to wherever her busy schedule takes her. “I’m a nature girl. I grew up in Colorado and was always outside. I still am, even when I’m in the city,” says the actress-turned-author.

“If I’m in Amsterdam, I get on a bike, ride everywhere, and really see the place,” says Kate. “In New York City, if I’m staying downtown and have a meeting uptown, I’ll put on my earphones, listen to great music, and just walk. There’s nothing better than walking in Manhattan.”

It turns out, Kate herself has an inspiration of her own: her mom, actress Goldie Hawn. The super fit mom-of-two gushed about her mom on Shape magazine.

It was her mom who helped her learn discipline at an early age.

“I was three years old when my mom enrolled me in dance class, and I practiced intensely until I was about 14. I was not a big fan of ballet, but she made me do it,” she told the magazine.

“It was the best thing she could have done for me. In dance, you’re constantly competing with yourself, and you’re only as good as your practice,” says Kate, who’s grateful her mom did not allow her to quit.

But, despite teaching her to love her body, Goldie also taught her to value a good meal: ”When I was growing up, everybody came to our place for dinner on Sundays. It was a joyful house. Food was very important; there was always something good cooking,” said Kate of her mom’s home cooking.

In fact, Goldie’s many trips to India in the seventies taught her to make curries and dal. And since her dad was from Arkansas, her specialty was mostly Southern food.

“My mom has always been healthy, but she’s not a health nut. I’m the same way,” added Kate. “I absolutely believe in enjoying my food.”

But, most importantly, what inspires her most about her mom is how they can be totally honest with one another. She considers her mom her great confidante.

“Fortunately or unfortunately, our family is pretty open,” said Kate, who Goldie raised on her own. “Everything is out on the table in our family.”

There were really no secrets between them. “My mom is my great confidante. I do pretty much tell my mom everything.”
