In addition to regular runs, cycling classes and personal training sessions, Bensimon stays fit by riding horses. "Gripping the animal with my thighs to stay on is the ultimate lower-body workout," she says.

The Real Housewives star watches her diet six days a week, allowing herself to splurge on Sunday — "or what I like to call Funday."

"They're learning to make meals that are delicious and healthy," Bensimon says.
