Alison Sweeney Covers October Issue of Fitness Magazine, Opens Up About Life After 'Days of our Lives'

Alison Sweeney shows off her toned abs in the October issue of Fitness, where she opens up about life after Days of our Lives.

The actress, who recently gave up her starring role as Sami Brady after 21 years on the daytime soap opera, is making family time a priority.

"The show will always have a place in my heart, but I wanted to have more time with my family," she tells the magazine. "My kids are so happy now, and I’m no longer thinking about nine other things while I’m with them. Everyone in my life has commented on how much more relaxed and at ease I am."
