Christina Hendricks looks positively divine on the May cover of Health magazine.

The Mad Men darling is gearing up for the final season in the series and opened up about her family's latest addition, how she keeps her famous hourglass figure in perfect shape and more.

So are Hendricks and her hubby, actor Geoffrey Arend, preparing for a baby in the near future? Well, not exactly…

"We got a puppy, and that's my idea of starting a family," the 38-year-old told the mag. "People say, 'Oh, that's practice for parenting,' but if it's practice for anything it's to be a mom to another puppy. We've decided that we are not really interested in having children."

She added, "It's just very normal for people to say, 'Well, when you guys have kids…' and then when I say, 'Actually, I don't think we're going to do that,' people will say, 'Oh, you say that now…' It doesn't bother me, though. And, you know, there's a small chance I could change my mind."

The actress also talked about how she keeps her body looking flawless in the tailored-to-perfection dresses that her character Joan wears on the hit AMC show.

"I would say my favorite workout is just the elliptical and doing some free weights. I'm trying to mix it up," she admitted.

"I do Bar Method sometimes, but it's really hard!"

Hendricks gushed that she likes to workout with her husband and that the two do their best to motivate each other.

"We used to share a trainer. Now I'll say something like, 'OK, we need to do push-ups every day,' and at any time in the day, I can make him get down and do them, or he can tell me to do them." Nice!

The final season of Mad Men takes off Sunday, April 13, at 10 p.m. on AMC.
