The Emmy Awards are a month away.

But Padma Lakshmi has already started whipping herself into shape, so that she will be looking good on the red carpet.

The 45-year-old Top Chef host shared a snap of herself doing lunges, which she captioned, '11 years later and I'm still prepping for the #Emmys at the end of summer. Except now it's just harder. @newyorkpilates.'

Back at it! Padma Lakshmi shared a snap of herself working out ahead of the Emmys on Thursday

As evident by her especially toned physique, it's clear Padma isn't just getting started on her workouts.

The star, whose show Top Chef has once more been nominated for an Emmy, put her flat belly on show in a grey sports bra which also displayed some cleavage.

Padma also shared a sweet snap of herself spending some quality time with her soon-to-be-first-grader daughter Krishna, age six.

The photo was of the mother-daughter duo cuddling during a picnic, and was given the caption, 'Squeezing in the last drops of summer before first grade. #littlehands.'

'Just cause it's a Wednesday!': The cookbook author showed off the food she had packed on Instagram on Thursday

An author of two award-winning cookbooks, Padma recently explained her hosting and judging duties don't require her skills as a culinary chef

'I realized I don’t have to be a chef in order to do my job well,' the television model confessed during her photo shoot interview with Haute Living New York magazine.

'I have to be the audience’s representative,' she explained. 'And have an understanding of food and cuisine because I’m interpreting the dishes for the audience at home.'

The former model added: 'I don’t need to be a chef who has commanded an army of kitchen staff.'

Top Chef has been nominated for Outstanding Reality-Competition Program at this year's Emmy Awards, which will take place on September 18.
