Here is behind-the-scenes video footage of three of the ‘Couple Retreat’ women, Malin Ackerman, Kristen Bell, and Kristin Davis, on SELF magazine’s photo shoot.
Here is how the women were described by a SELF writer:
Malin Ackerman: “Such a dream. Warm, friendly, has that smile that makes you smile. And a body you could just die for.”
Kristen Bell: “What a dreamboat. Cute, sexy, and sporty all rolled into one. She also was so easy and fun.”
Kristin Davis: “Cool and beautiful. She was very funny and comfortable with herself.”
What’s your healthiest habit?
Kristin Davis: “I think my healthiest habit is that I do not smoke.”
Kristen Bell: “I try to be as active as possible. It’s so hard to schedule workouts, for anybody. So I try to do activities with my friends. Instead of going to the movies on Saturday, we’ll play ultimate frisbee, or go hiking with the dogs, or go bike riding. Something that is social but also gives you a little bit of a workout.”
What’s your guilty pleasure?
Kristen Bell: “I really like boxed cake. I think the yellow butter cake that comes out of the box, there’s nothing better. And sometimes, I don’t even cook it. I will straight up drink the batter.”
Kristin Davis: “Chocolate. And just desserts in general. Definitely have a sweet tooth. I can bake and I want to do it often. I try to hold myself back and only do it for other people on special occasions.”
How do you stay so fit?
Kristen Bell: “I really like hikes because you can bring little weights if you want. But I get bored sometimes with the repetition of working with particular muscles, so I try to do whole body things, like a Taebo videos or a Pilate’s video or a hike.”
Kristin Davis: “My current thing is the elliptical because there is not a lot of impact on your joints. I have one at my house. It just feels, and you put on your ipod, and it feels good. I like to go outside too. So it would be a tough call between hiking with the dogs outside and the elliptical inside.”
