Athletic Hobbies of Hollywood Stars

Online, June 23, 2013 (Newswire.com) - "Sport is a salubrious force in our world", once said the British author J. Galsworthy.

Today, sport is both a fashionable and healthy activity, with a wealth of facets and permutations. These days, eschewing sport means being unstylish. Thanks to athletic pursuits, we don't only strengthen our health and willpower, but also remain physically fit. This is especially important for showbiz stars.
Below is an overview of the stars' athletic hobbies revealing the most popular pursuits among Hollywood's divas.

Renowned actress Angelina Jolie was once an avid kickboxer, despite this being a male-dominated sport. The actress took this up whilst preparing to star in another action film. The star has recently been seen more often in the workout rooms of elite clubs.

Our compatriot Mila Jovovich also goes in for martial arts, specifically Brazilian jiu jitsu. However, during her pregnancy the actress had to abandon this hobby and take up a safer sport - yoga. But not for long; Mila today has returned to jiu-jitsu.

In this regard Russian-born actress Gia Skova is inconstant. Likely because of her intricate nature, rather than stick to one kind of sport, the actress engages in several at once - surfing, equestrian sport, ice skating and combat.

Model and actress Amanda Seyfried begins every morning with a 40-minute jog. Recently she's started doing ballet and even enrolled in a dance school. In this way the actress maintains her figure.

Two-time Oscar nominee Jennifer Lawrence pursues a more extreme kind of sport - rock climbing. The actress believes that given these physical workloads and adrenaline rushes, she won't only stay in shape, but also learn more about her body in terms of feelings, reactions and balance.

Catherine Zeta Jones is an avid fencer. She took up this seemingly unusual hobby thanks to one of her roles. According to her, fencing lessons allow you to feel flexible and adroit.

For Hollywood's stars, these varied athletic hobbies are not only an enjoyable spiritual exercise, but also a marvelous way to remain in ideal shape. And since there's no limit to perfection, the only choice is to seek one.
