The best workouts are ones that don't feel like exercise, like the family's swimming-filled family vacation earlier this year. It's not just about fun in the sun, however; Gwen and her husband, musician Gavin Rossdale, also make skiing a family affair.

Whether it's with your honey, a friend, or your family, make fitness a group affair by picking active ways to spend your time together. Here are some fun, fit activities to get you started!

Get Back to Basics

When she works out, Gwen says that she is not into Pilates or yoga but is "more like a man" — think weightlifting, boxing, and cardio. She also stays in shape by jumping and dancing her way across the stage when she's on tour.

Make like Gwen and add these bodyweight exercises into your own workout routine. You're just a squat, lunge, and push-up away from a Gwen-like bod!

Gwen isn't shy about admitting that vanity drives her to stay fit. She says that she feels "disappointed" when she can't fit into the clothes she loves and that she wants to look her best when on stage.

While health is the number one reason we should all exercise, find whatever driving force you can to consistently get you up and active! Here are five reasons you should be exercising.

Calling herself a "chubby child," Gwen struggled with her weight growing up. As a result, she sticks to a healthy diet full of organic produce and lean proteins. Gwen's even taken her family straight to the source, visiting an organic farm to pick their own produce.

Make like Gwen and eat a diet of fresh whole foods. Whenever possible, choose organic, grass-fed, and local.

Maximize Results

You don't get abs like Gwen's by doing a 30-minute power walk. Busy mom Gwen makes the most of every workout. "There is no secret: you just have to eat healthy, work out, and torture yourself," she told Harper's Bazaar in 2012.

When it comes to exercise, Gwen does a mix of HIIT consisting of cardio and supersets; check out Gwen's workout routine here.
