She is determined to be in the best possible shape... and get a little time in with her godson.

And on Monday Kate Hudson proved she's working hard to achieve both goals by posting an Instagram snap of herself almost doing the splits at her Pilates session in Los Angeles and one of her cuddling her trainer's baby boy.

The 36-year-old captioned the first photo: 'So many of our @fabletics girls have inspired me to set new goals! So one of mine is to get my squared hip splits back in form.

The actress gave a shout out to her Fabletics brand of sportswear and her Pilates trainer Nicole Stuart.

Kate is godmother to Nicole's baby and she also posted a cute picture of her holding the tot as his mum cuddled up. She added the heart-warming message: 'My godson Keaton Midnight Marquez. We worked out... Then we mommed out!

'Such a blessing. For years we all prayed for this soul to join our tribe and like a true miracle, he arrived @nicolestuartla #6WeeksOld #ProudToBeHisGodMama.'

Kate showed off her incredibly taut, toned and tanned tummy in a black sports bra and white leggings with grey leaf images that she rolled down low on her hips. 

The actress is taking a break from filming Deepwater Horizon with her stepfather Kurt Russell and Mark Wahlberg in New Orleans, Louisiana.

The film centers on the offshore drilling rig that exploded in 2010, creating the worst oil spill in US history.

Kate and the 64-year-old actor she calls 'Pa' were spotted strolling around the set on Thursday.

While Kate looked pretty in a colourful striped romper that showed off her toned legs, Kurt looked bloodied and bruised thanks to the make-up department.

He and Mark play two of the courageous workers on the rig that blew up and killed 11 and injured 16 in the Gulf Of Mexico.
