(Cover) - EN Star Style - Elizabeth Hurley says tending to her pigs helps her burn calories.

The British model-and-actress is famed for her elegant style and sports a toned figure.

The 45-year-old hates exercise and prefers to burn calories when she's not thinking about it. Liz says mucking out her pigs in the English countryside is the perfect way for her to stay in shape whilst completing chores at the same time.

"To be moderate with meals - that's the key for me! In addition to that I force myself to go jogging on a regular basis. I actually hate doing that. But also to muck out the pigsty is a great way for me to do some sports. The main thing is to burn calories," she said in an interview with the German edition of Gala magazine.

Elizabeth puts pressure on herself to maintain her slim figure. Despite this, she allows herself some food vices every once in a while.

"To stay slim for my job despite my increasingly slower metabolism I really pressurise myself. I am really aware of what I eat. But in the meantime I even grant myself some oily sins or a chocolate bar - but my other meals are decided accordingly [to what treats I have eaten]," she explained. (C) Cover Media
