Keri Russell: Now my butts gone. I do wish I had my 25-year-old butt!

Keri Russell covers the May issue of Women’s Health magazine to promote her role as a KGB agent in FX’s latest darling, “The Americans,” and to show off her extremely toned tummy with a headline that reads “BEST. ABS. EVER.” Keri is both 37 years old and mother to two young children (River, 5, and Willa, 1), and her washboard abs are crazy insane. I remember noting that Keri looked super tiny a few months ago at the FX premiere of “The Amercans,” but she looks very healthy and toned on this cover. She’s complaining a lot about her butt in this interview, which I think she attributes to aging but it’s probably more of a case of her low body weight. Here are some more abs and some excerpts:

On staying fit after babies: “[I have] this really nerdy workout I do in my walk-through closet in our brownstone. I do a workout video and use my own music — whatever is inspiring to me at that time, like Alabama Shakes, the Cure, or Mumford and Sons.”

She eats healthy … now: “I don’t think I ate a green vegetable until I was 30. I didn’t grow up with a mom who enforced that at all.”

On getting older: “I’m not a complainer about age. I think my girlfriends all look so much better now than they did 15 years ago. But the thing I notice most is my butt. I used to have a really good, plump butt. Ugh — now my butt’s gone. I do wish I had my 25-year-old butt!”

Living in NYC keeps her slim: “My number one healthy tip? Everyone should dance more. Everyone should walk more. I mean that’s one of the great things about living in Brooklyn and in New York. You get to eat a big rich fatty meal but then you can walk home.””

I definitely see what Keri’s saying about New York City. Everytime I visit, I do notice that all of the (non-tourists) appear to be in incredible physical shape because they generally walk several miles per day! That’s what happens when one has to dash from home to subway station to work on a daily basis, and it’s just not practical to drive in Manhattan or most of the other boroughs when traffic is so terrible and parking fees are outrageous.

This photoshoot is quite lovely though. I do like this particular black and white shot the most. I’m glad Keri is back on a successful television series, and we’ll surely be seeing more of her very soon.
