Kristen Bell knows how hard it can be to fit exercise into a busy schedule.

But we agree that we’ll both do a few dumbbell curls while cooking later.

Anexercise snack, if you will.

It’s a cliche that celebrities are “just like us!”

What time do you start your day?

The whole family wakes up at 7 a.m.

I have been a longtime committed supporter of not waking up before 7 a.m. What do you have for breakfast?

It depends, but I love it when our family eatseggs, for the proteinand fats.

We’re also big fans of oatmeal but I take a stab at slip in some protein powder.

Sometimes I make high-protein pancakes.

Your daughters are lucky.

Tell them, they hate it.

Are they picky eaters or just average kids?

Aren’t those things the same?

Sometimes we’re eating because we know that’s what our body needs."

Obviously, water is the number one thing we should be giving our kids.

Exercise snacking and heavy lifting

How do you keep fit?

For a long time, I did workouts that were tailored to women likePilates.

My husband has been biking a lot recently to build quad strength.

Uphill cycling is really tough.

It’s so tough.

I’m very active but I never commit to just one workout because I like to challenge myself.

I don’t have hours to keep fit.

Sometimes my workouts are sliced into my day in one-and-a-half-minute segments.

That’s a thing it’s called exercise snacking.

Oh yeah, that’s it.

I hear people talking about their 90-minute workouts.

When am I going to get that time?

So I rely on exercise snacking.

I try tohabit-stack, too.

I let the dogs out to pee at 9 p.m. every night, and then I do 24 squats.

Reading and chatting before bed

Who cooks dinner?

Everybody eats differently in my household, and I’d love to evict them all.

I hate it, but I’ll deal with it.

The girls are picky.

My husband is gluten-free and incrediblyhigh-protein, so his meals are different.

I am not Martha Stewart.

It finally didn’t feel weird to me.

I felt like I needed and wanted it.

Now I take a stab at eat high-protein like my husband to support the lifting.

At family dinners, it’s a mishmash but we eat together.

The community of eating is far more important to me than the presentation.

What is bedtime like in your household?

We all go upstairs around 7:30 p.m.

I usually sleep in the bedroom with my daughters as they don’t like to sleep alone.

My husband gets the master bedroom all to himself, which is lovely for him.

It’s important to explain to kids why they have to do something.

If they don’t want to go to bed, we explain whysleep is important.

The four of us will lie in the kids' room and talk for about 45 minutes.

My kids' brains are very open at night, they tell us all about their day.

Sometimes my husband does voices with their stuffed animals.

But it’s long.

It’s 45 minutes to an hour, and then everyone falls asleep around 9 p.m. ## More from Health
