Mother-to-be Jessica Alba has always been considered a sex symbol.
And the 30-year-old actress, who is currently eight months pregnant, has admitted she is raring to get back in pre-baby shape.
Jessica spoke candidly about how she plans to shed the extra weight with Lucky Magazine for their September Issue and posed for an accompanying photo-shoot done before she even announced she was expecting again back in February.

'Working out every day for even just 45 minutes is good for my mental state,' the star admits about how she is planning on getting back in bikini ready shape.
But Jessica admits that she finds it hard to actually go and workout.
'Getting dressed and actually doing it is the worst. It’s hard to get motivated.'
'In the gym, I have like five things to distract me: TV, iPod, magazines. Working partners are good, too, so you can chat and not just drown in your own misery. Sorry, does that sound bad? I just hate working out.'
The other thing which she plans to change is her diet which will be a strict meal-plan delivered to her house.

'I have a hard time with portion control, so I have 1,200 calorie meals delivered. But I also work out, so basically I’m starving—it sucks. I drink a lot of water.'
However Jessica has been enjoying her pregnancy and said she has taken more time to relax this time around.
'Pamper yourself and do pre-natal yoga,' she suggested when asked how she has got through it.
The actress has also worked throughout her pregnancy and is currently promoting her new film Spy Kids 4 which premièred this week.

She has come a long way in her career and is now one of the highest grossing actresses in Hollywood because of the Spy Kids franchise.
But her first ever audition, aged just eleven, she persuaded her mother to let her enter an acting competition in Beverly Hills.
'We all went out for it...my mom, my auntie, her four kids, my auntie’s boyfriend, my brother and I all sardined inside our Buick Regal.'
'That’s how we rolled back then.'
'I lied and said I done plays,' she said.
'My mom definitely taught me how to hustle.'
But looking back on it she says she knows how she got to be where she is today.
'Why am I here?' she asks. 'Sheer will and determination, dammit...And I hustled like crazy.'
