The lovely Faith Hill graces the cover of Shape Magazine.  Her being in a bikini on the cover was her 41st birthday present to herself.  This mother of 3 has been getting herself back into shape after having let exercise take less of a priority in her life since having 3 children and a very busy career.

She and her uber hunky hubby, Tim McGraw have been working out together. 

She talks about the exercise phases she has gone through:

“I was always very athletic, playing basketball and softball and running track. But in my 20s and 30s, I’d go through phases with exercise, working out for four weeks before a big tour or video shoot and not doing much afterward. Then I had three kids and turned 40, so I decided to make a lifestyle change.”

Taking up her 3 times a week Pilates regime has given her a gift:

“I could bend in ways I haven’t been able to since I was a teenager.”  “My husband (Tim McGraw) loves it!

Um, I bet he does!!!
