  • Nicole Kidman, 54, just posted a short clip of her legs-for-days on Instagram.

  • The Nine Perfect Strangers star says balance is her key to living a healthy life, as she does spin classes, yoga, and plays sports.

  • She doesn't restrict what she eats, though—she finds that variety in exercise and diet gives her the most energy.


Nicole Kidman is singlehandedly motivating me to go to the gym and hit leg day because…have you seen her mile-long legs? Not only are they lengthy, but they’re also extremely sculpted, thanks to the various activities she throws into her workout routine.

Nicole posted a short snippet of her BTS posing for a photoshoot for what we can only assume is an upcoming campaign or magazine feature on June 9.

Teasing us, she posted a seconds-long video which zooms in on her legs, with the photoshoot umbrella blocking her from the waist up. We’re left looking at her legs in black kitten heels, with her upper body in a black miniskirt and a puffer jacket, but hey, I’m not complaining about it. Her legs are so long and sculpted.

What does Nicole put first in her life? Her health, and it shows. “Over the years I’ve realized that if you don’t have your health, you’ve got nothing,” she told Women’s Health. “So that comes first. And how do you get that when you have two little kids, and a husband, and a lot of work? I work for balance now.”

Mainly, the Nine Perfect Strangers star takes advantage of her location and enjoys the outdoors when she can.

"I run, ride my bike, do yoga, whatever I can do and wherever I am in the world... Variety is the best way I’ve found,” she said. She even horseback rides.

Of course, it helps that Nicole grew up running, she told WH. Her family is one of marathon runners, so she’s been hitting the pavement since she was a child. Aside from jogging, she’ll go to go to spin classes, meditate, and play sports.

Variety, am I right?

But sometimes it’s just plain hard to be healthy. Take, for instance, the days she goes out on the road with her husband, Keith Urban, on his tour bus—there’s junk food around at all times. So, she follows an 80-20 plan: 80 percent of the time, she eats healthy. And she doesn't stress about the remaining 20 percent.

In terms of her favorite foods, she loves bread—don’t we all?—especially homemade warm bread with Reggiano, per an interview with Vogue.

We’re here for the balance, Nicole.
