Her son Ben doubles as a physical training-partner...sort of. Every morning, she first does push-ups with the baby lying under her...letting her long mane dangle over him. Then Ali does sit-ups with Ben lying on her chest for resistance. After that, she lifts and lowers him overhead to work her triceps. Ali credits Ben with being a terrific motivation.She and her husband David welcomed their first child, a son, Benjamin Edward on February 25, 2005 at 10:30am. The baby weighed in at seven pounds.

(And it worked, too.)
