Why Mila Kunis Would Make a Great Workout Buddy

Happy birthday, Mila Kunis! The actress and mom-to-be turns 31 today, and we're taking a look at Mila's healthy philosophy.

While Mila's much talked-about and very extreme Black Swan diet and exercise regime got her into professional dancer shape (and led to a 20-pound weight loss), it wasn't without sacrifice. She said she always felt hungry and was constantly exercising, seven days a week for five hours a day. It's no wonder, then, that as soon as filming wrapped, she was ready to retire her tutu for a more manageable lifestyle.

Now, with a baby on the way, Mila is transitioning to motherhood in the healthiest way possible. The star of That '70s Show is making sure to set aside extra time with her fiancé, Ashton Kutcher, to relax, exercise, and eat right. Mila recently admitted to Ellen DeGeneres that she was having some oddly healthy pregnancy cravings including pickles and probiotic-packed sauerkraut. Read on to see how Mila is preparing for motherhood while maintaining a lifestyle that's healthy, fit, and fun!Source: Getty

She Makes Time For the Gym

Mila has worked hard to stay fit during her pregnancy; the actress carves out time to enjoy yoga and Pilates classes in Los Angeles. Mila's current routine is a long way away from the intense regimen she had for Black Swan, but she knows the value of a good sweat session. In the past, Mila has said that she's "at the gym all the time," where she trains three days a week.

She Takes It Outside

She may trek to the gym regularly, but what Mila Kunis loves most is the great outdoors. With Ashton by her side, Mila is often spotted spending time outside, taking a stroll or walking the dog. Mila also has a history of loving sports like jet skiing and snowboarding, and she has the scars to prove it. It's no wonder she's a fan: snowboarding can burn 270 to 340 calories in an hour.

Mila also loves to travel, but you won't find her poolside sipping on a high-calorie cocktail the whole time (especially these days). She loves to backpack and usually can be found exploring a new city's sights by foot, typically accompanied by Ashton. The couple has been spotted everywhere from New Orleans to beautiful Brazil. Mila also has a love of exploring the world with her brother. "I like the way he travels," she said in Women's Health. "He grabs a map, says, 'Let's walk,' and makes you explore."Source: Universal

She Goes For Adventure

Though she has to tone down her adventurous side with a baby on the way, Mila is known for being hooked on adrenaline. Jet skiing and snowboarding aren't the only fast-moving activities she likes — to celebrate her 27th birthday, Mila went skydiving. "I wanted to do this for a very long time, and I finally got the guts," she told Jimmy Kimmel. Injecting adventure into your daily routine can help you find a new active hobby or keep you from sitting bored on your couch.

She Balances It Out

After a grueling six months training for Black Swan and eating only 1,200 calories a day, Mila said she wanted nothing more than to get back to a healthy weight. But while Mila has always loved her food and wine ("I can make anything out of leftovers. My glass of wine and I are besties," she told Harper's Bazaar), she makes sure to live an active lifestyle in order to balance out her indulgences. With a baby arriving in the next few months, Mila has been busy eating out at healthy Los Angeles restaurants and stocking up on fresh groceries.
