Katie Holmes Reveals What She Won't Force Suri to Do

Katie Holmes is on the cover of Shape magazine’s December 2019 issue, on newsstands November 13.

Here’s what the 40-year-old actress had to share with the mag…

On her tight bond with 13-year-old daughter Suri Cruise: “I feel very blessed to have such a special daughter. Being her mom is absolutely the greatest gift and privilege. Sometimes I work out with my daughter. It just depends on the day. We have our routines, and occasionally they overlap. But I don’t force her to work out with me because I know that’s lame.”

On her favorite daily ritual and why she’s a big believer in self-care: “It’s better for everybody if you’re taking care of yourself. I take 20 minutes in the morning to write down a list of the things I’m grateful for and listen to calming music. I give myself that time to just enjoy. It sets a good tone for my day.”

On her exercise routine: “I exercise four times a week. Variety is key, or I get bored. I like Spinning, boxing, and yoga, and sometimes I’ll take a dance class. I have my own Spin bike, so I can do it at home when I have to get up really early; otherwise I go to Flywheel Sports I got into boxing a couple of years ago, and now I take classes at Rumble.”
