Actress Nicole Kidman has an enormously busy professional life, but she still manages to find time to keep fit. Following is an interview with the star, in which she gives her idea of keeping fit.

Q：How do you balance training and a career with being a mother?

A： I’m a fan of all types of training. I run, ride my bike, do yoga, whatever I can do and wherever I am in the world. We try to exercise as a family, which makes it much easier and much more enjoyable.

Q：Do you have special diet and fitness regimens?

A：There’s certainly no secret regimen. I pretty much eat anything, but all in moderation. Similarly with fitness, I try not to be too strict with it and mix it up to make sure it stays fun. I take multivitamin daily, which helps fill any nutrition gaps I have when I'm on the road.

Q：What types of exercises do you do to keep fit? How do you keep motivated?

A: Variety is the best way I've found. So I try and mix it up with sports, running, yoga and even just going for a walk with my husband and the kids. Living in Nashville makes this easier, as it's so nice just being outside, especially this time of year.

Q：I hear you grew up in a marathon-running family? How has that influenced you?

A：Sort of half marathons and a thing called the City to Surf. It instilled in all of us the importance and pleasure you get from staying fit and healthy. With rising obesity levels in developed countries across the world, it's so important that we teach our kids the benefits of an active lifestyle.

Q：What lessons have your learned that you try to teach your children so they will stay healthy and fit?

A：Get out with your family, have some fun, don't take it too seriously and make health, fitness and nutrition an important part of your life. Ultimately your health, both physical and emotional, is the basis for everything.
