Denise Richards has had two kids and several public break-ups yet she seems to still manage to stay healthy.

OK Magazine sat down with Denise and got the scoop on what she's does to keep fit and healthy through it all:

OK: What's the best part about exercising?
DR: I feel healthy and strong, and I love how I feel mentally and physically. This is the first season in a long time that I have felt comfortable on the beach without a sarong covering my bottom.

OK: Do you find stress causes your weight to fluctuate?
DR: Stress definitely affects my weight. I am thinner when I'm stressed or have a lot going on.

OK: With such a busy schedule, is it difficult to find the time to exercise?
DR: No, because it is part of my lifestyle. I don't work out only when I'm preparing for a project or shoot or bikini season. Exercising is part of my routine. I try to do it five days a week for an hour. That's an hour of time to myself, unless the girls come in, but that's okay too. That's the luxury of working out at home.

There's more on working out with two young daughters as well what she wants to instill in them about body image, so read more

OK: Is it hard to get motivated with two daughters?
DR: No, my girls motivate me to exercise and eat right! I am a single mom, so I am outnumbered! I need my energy to keep up with them.

OK: How did you lose weight after having your daughters?
DR: I am naturally thin, and I feel that I am at a good weight for my body. I work out to be lean and have some definition. Of course my body went through many changes having two babies back to back. For me, losing the weight wasn't that difficult; I was lucky. And no, I didn't work out five hours a day, I had to wait six weeks to do anything after each baby because I had a C-section with each birth. I took it very slow getting back into my routine.

OK: What will you hope to instill in your daughters about body image?
DR: I will try to teach my daughters to love their body. Sami was looking at Lola and said, "Wow, look at Lola's big belly," and I told Sami that Lola has a beautiful belly. Now, Sami tells her sister her belly is beautiful.

OK: Who do you think has the best body in Hollywood?
DR: Demi Moore still has the best body in Hollywood!

OK: What are your favorite food splurges?
DR: Chips and guacamole. And ice cream!

    Oh, they always have to find something about their body to pick on, so they can seem "normal." And if she really thinks she had a butt issue, then 99.9 percent of women need to be wearing sarongs, too. Either that or never wear a bikini at all!

    she wants to be a good role model, but if her daughter is making fun of the other one's belly then she obv. has awareness of it (and sorry, but it's prob. from mommy who seems like she needs to work out and eat healthy all the time) and the kid picked up on it. I think it's a shame that one kid was making fun of the others belly. At least she corrected her saying it was ok, but that's b/c she's prob. a baby. Will Denise have this attitude as they get older? I hope so.

    I agree orangeflower, my aunt would constantly talk about losing weight in front of her girls so when I overheard one tell the other that she was "fat" (both are under 5) it was shocking Sad Its all about the parents I'm telling you.

    I dont think her body is the result of exercising... I saw pictures on the website Pink is the New Blog back in February of her snorting coke on the beach (wen she was vacationing with then boyfriend Richie Sambora). I even uploaded the photo to my teamsugar page:

    don't feel the same way about her after that.

    Photos of celebs are always retouched. She may look good, but you can guaran-damn-tee they retouched out any cellulite, stretchmarks an shrunk stuff.

    i notice that the top of the magazine page has GET THIN NOW written across it. so much for health being the primary focus.
