When Bethenny Frankel showed up beaming in Miami Beach wearing a revealing (and appropriately-colored) fire-engine-red bikini, you wouldn't know from looking at her that she's going through a "a brutal, brutal [divorce]."

Still, Bethenny has been reeling from the turmoil in her personal life. The budding talk show host—Bethenny begins September 9th—recently revealed that her divorce from husband Jason Hoppy has taken it's toll on her. "I felt like I disappointed people, because I felt like I was this role model, that represented the fairy tale," she told ABC. "I'm definitely bruised."

So how does the 42-year-old mom to daughter Brynn keep in shape? Last year, she shared tips about fitting exercise into a busy schedule, "Exercise wherever and whenever you can; it doesn't have to fit one mold or be done in one way."
