She says: 'This past year, I kind of stopped working out. I think my body just needed a break. And so I did that and focused more on feeling good as opposed to beating myself up.’
Gwen was speaking about how she juggles being part of No Doubt along with the stresses and strains of being married and having children.
Whens he was recording Push And Shove with her band she was juggling a hectic home life and something had to give, the gym, something she felt she 'had to do' had to go.

Having it all: Gwen says she is proud of her 10-year marriage to Gavin Rossdale and says it is her biggest achievement

She explains: ‘I would be up all night because my second baby didn’t sleep, and he had a lot of ear infections. Then I’d wake up in the morning and do my workout, which I always felt I had to do, and then meetings for my three clothing lines, and then hang out with my kids, take them to preschool – da, da, da.'
'At four o’clock, I’d be like, “All right, I’m out of here. I’m going to go to the studio and try to write a record.” I’d sit on the couch [with my band mates] and be like, “Let’s do this now, because I’m missing time with the kids. I could be having dinner with them and putting them to bed.” It was really hard.’
Gwen, who last year admitted she was addicted to working out five times a week, might claim to have given up the gym but you definitely wouldn't know judging from her amazing shape.
