Actress Kerry Washington covers the September 2015 issue of SELF magazine.
In the cover story, Washington dishes on how she balances staying fit while being a working mom and wife.
"I try to get it in so I can be back with my kid early,” she says. “I have to take care of myself in order to live life the way I want to. It’s important to have rest days. But in the long run, if I don’t work out for, like, three days, I feel worse, not better.”
Watch her conversation with the magazine below.
