“I do Pilates. I’m in a bad mood two hours before and while I’m doing it and then I’m done, because I know I have to come back and do it again,” the 42-year-old star of TV’s Modern Family recently told Redbook. “I’m always asking Joe, ‘Why do people always say they feel great working out?’ I just want to go home and lie down.”

We’re not sure if she’s using the eye candy for friendly encouragement, inspiration, or pure, unadulterated fear. But whatever the psychology behind the faux Joe sweatfests, it seems to be working.
