What prompted Jennifer Love Hewitt to get serious about her workout regime?

No, it was not those infamous bikini pictures or the nasty blog comments that followed.

"I'm getting ready to turn 30 and get married and all those things," she tells PEOPLE, echoing the diet motivations of countless women. "This year was my year to try to glow from within and feel better."

The actress looked slim and stunning Saturday night as she hit L.A.'s Runway For Life event benefiting the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital on the arm of fiancé Ross McCall. Her exercise plan?

"I workout about four or five days a week," she said, strutting her stuff in a slinky purple dress by Carmen Marc Valvo. "I love to run that's good."

In addition to cardio, the former Party of Five star also mixes in strength moves.

"I'm perfecting my pushup right now," she said. "And the plank pose is very inspiring where you're up on your elbows and your legs are out, and it's just your stomach holding your body up. Very cool."

The actress says she wants to have children with the Scottish actor "someday." In the meantime, she's enjoying the opportunity to focus on her health.

"The better you are in your mind, body and spirit, the better everything goes for you in your life," she added.
Also Jennifer Love Hewitt Slams Cheryl Burke Critics.

Jennifer Love Hewitt, who has dealt with her own body image scrutiny by the media, is coming to the defense of “Dancing With The Stars’” Cheryl Burke, whose slight recent weight gain has been a hot topic online.

“It’s so silly, we’re still human beings and we have feelings and I think people should take better consideration of that when they are speaking of others,” Jennifer told Access Saturday at LA’s Runway For Life event benefiting the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

“And life is life, Cheryl is a beautiful girl and an incredible dancer and that’s what she’s paid to do and that’s what people should be paying attention to.” Love from J.Love!
