Sofia Vergara reveals her workout motto: ‘No pain, no cake!’

Marc Baptiste/Shape Sofia Vergara admits she doesn’t like effective out, but does like how her body is changing since becoming more dedicated. Marc Baptiste/Shape Sofia Vergara said moving to Los Angeles in 2005 changed her views on healthy living.

Sofia Vergara would likely be recruited into just about anyone’s modern family.

The 42-year-ancient actress is not only the highest paid on television with the hit ABC series she stars in, but she’s also quite the looker.

Still, it’s not a magic fairy who waves a wand of gorgeous, curvaceous excellence over Vergara that keeps her fit physical type in shape. Instead it’s her “Modern Family” co-star Julie Bowen.

“Being around Julie and considering how motivated she is … I started to think more about it,” Vergara said in the November issue of Shape magazine about implementation. Bowen is a religious runner, even on days when they’re called to set super early.

“I’ll say, ‘Sunday? No, it’s the Lord’s day; I can’t work out,’” the brunette beauty said about her lackadaisical approach to fitness.

In fact, it’s her food addiction on which she’s more focused to tackle.

“I heard about someone in L.A. who got hypnotized so they wouldn’t eat candy,” she said. Adding about her obstinate passion for cake, she said, “I’m seriously looking into that because I’m obsessed.”

A honest obsession that has proven to show real results is Vergara’s Megaformer, a Pilates-like machine that isn’t so demanding on her “terrible knees.”

“I hit 40 and I started considering a softness everywhere on my body,” she said about kicking her butt in gear to work out regularly. “I knew it was time to do something, so I did.”

Together with her trainer, Jennifer Yates, the mother of one whips her body into shape, like it or not.

“With this machine, I was able to figure out what worked for me,” she said in the issue that hits newsstands Thursday. “I don’t like it all, but I like how my body’s changing.”

Aside from all things cake, Vergara has had a exchange of heart when it comes to what she eats, and thanks sunny Los Angeles, a city she’s lived in for nearly 10 years.

“If you live here, you can’t always order the high-stout dishes like pasta with truffles,” she said. “You have a little sushi, and when you’re out with your girlfriends you order a nice salad.”
