Sofia Vergara Goes Pantless On 'Shape' Magazine November 2014 Cover

Sofia Vergara shows off her amazing fit body on the cover of Shape magazine’s November 2014 issue, out on newsstands on Thursday (October 9)!

Here’s what the 42-year-old actress had to share with the mag:

On working out: “Everyone knows that I’ve never been into working out. I was always very happy with what I have. Then I hit 40 and I started seeing a softness everywhere on my body… I knew it was time to do something, so I did.”

On food: “If you live here, you can’t always order the high-fat dishes like pasta with truffles. You have a little sushi, and when you’re out with your girlfriends you order a nice salad. When I do indulge, I exercise a bit harder the next day. My workout motto is really simple: No pain, no cake!”

On her body: “My body is looking better than it used to, but I wish I had worked out more when I was younger and taken it as seriously as I do now. My niece is 21 and she loves exercising, and I tell her, ‘Keep doing it so you don’t have to go crazy with it when you’re my age!”
