Who isn\u2019t obsessed with Pretty Little Liars. Back in its fourth season, the shows twists and turns and all-star cast makes it easy to keep coming back to Rosewood for more.<\/p>\n

Holly Marie Combs (who plays smart and sexy mom Ella Montgomery to Lucy Hale\u2019s Aria) is one of the many reasons we keep tuning in. \u201cYou definitely start to get an idea as to who the good guys and the bad guys really are this season. It’s exciting and as surprising as ever,\u201d she says. \u201cWe are sworn to secrecy. Contractually. But I can tell you I am A. Just kidding….\u201d<\/p>\n

Though she can\u2019t spill secrets from the show, she can spill her own. We caught up with the star to find out her own workout obsessions, celebrity body crush, and more.<\/p>\n

1. She and her boyfriend hike every morning.<\/strong>
\n\u201cWe live in the mountains with hiking trails so we have no excuse not to,\u201d says Combs. \u201cI don’t count miles. I feel I’ve gone far enough if every muscle in my body feels awake with circulation but not to the point where I feel I have worn myself out.<\/p>\n

2. She doesn\u2019t push herself through workouts like she used to.<\/strong>
\n\u201cAt this point in life I have realized that the next forty years need to be about maintaining my muscles, joints, and posture. I don’t push my body through workouts as I’ve done in last 39 years like to \u2018ask\u2019 my body to do things now instead of \u2018telling\u2019 or forcing my body to do something now.\u201d<\/p>\n

3. She\u2019s a big fan of Pilates.<\/strong>
\n\u201cIn between my first and second child Pilates helped my body a lot. In between my second and third I had to amp it up a bit with kickboxing training, which I did until I was six months pregnant with Kelley,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

4. She\u2019s super impressed with how healthy the PLL\u2019s are on set.<\/strong>
\n\u2028\u201cAll the girls (Lucy Hale, Ashley Benson, Shay Mitchell, and Troian Bellisario) are so great when it comes to taking care of themselves. My generation was, um, different. We (not naming any names) would play pool, shoot darts, and drink beer then roll in at 5:30 am with a Venti something, order from In-N-Out for lunch and do it all again the next day,\u201d Combs jokes. \u201cThe PLL’s roll in with green tea and coconut waters, vegan lunches and juice cleanses. Best of all they are strong, not just skinny. They are fit and devoted to their own health. They are impressive individually and as a group. Lucy keeps trying to keep me up early to try her favorite spinning place. I’m scared! Our set is amazingly healthy. They have really healthy snacks at all times. Lucy and Troian are vegetarians. There really is never any junk food around, thankfully.\u201d<\/p>\n

5. She gets sweaty to Metallica.<\/strong>
\nOn her playlist? \u201cI\u2019ve got Matt Kearney, Radical Something, and a little Metallica thrown in for good measure,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

6. She loves all things sushi.<\/strong>
\n\u201cI\u2019m definitely a sushi person. I know I can eat a lot and still be fairly healthy,\u201d Combs says. \u201cI was a vegetarian through many of my teen years and easily revert back to that occasionally, but my immune system is usually happier with a bit of real meat. I would love to learn [to make my own sushi] when I locate some spare time. It would be nice to buy my own fish. To know exactly how fresh it is and precisely where it comes from.<\/p>\n

7. She doesn\u2019t love beets but will never give up potato chip<\/strong>s.
\n\u201cBeets just aren’t my thing. I can’t get into them,\u201d Combs admits. \u201cA lot of my snacks are healthy. I love things like hummus, carrots, and celery, but I will never give up potato chips.\u201d<\/p>\n

8. She admires Gwen Stefani\u2019s physique<\/strong>
\n\u201cGwen Stefani is my celebrity body crush,\u201d she says. \u201cShe is a mom of two boys and she somehow finds a will and a way to be physically fit, write, tour, perform, and have a healthy marriage. All the while staying true to herself. Impressive.\u201d<\/p>\n

9. She loves her own body most because it allowed her to have children.<\/strong>
\n\u201cIt has carried me this far in life with fairly little trouble,\u201d she says. \u201cAnd it allowed me to have my three sons.\u201d<\/p>\n

10. She wishes she had no concept of time.<\/strong>
\n\u201c[When I\u2019m working out] I watch the clock like a hawk, painfully aware of every passing minute,\u201d Combs admits.<\/p>\n
