Hillary Swank credits Pilates and Krav Maga for her figure

Hillary Swank, interviewed in November's issue of Marie Claire . . .

Interviewer: You have such an incredible figure, and I bet you never have to work out.

Hillary Swank: But I love working out! I started swimming when I was 3 years old. I was a gymnast, a swimmer, a basketball player...To me, working out is literally like eating a meal or drinking water or breathing. If I don't, I just feel like crap. Not physically, like, Ew, what's hanging over my pants? But I just feel really ornery. I start punching actors. Not hard—I don't get mean. I do Krav Maga, which is Israeli martial arts; I do pilates.
