Angelina Jolie's Wii Fit Video Games Are the Secret to Her Shape

Actress Credits Her Post-Pregnancy Body to a Wii Game

November 6, 2008 -- Angelina Jolie has revealed the secret to getting a Tomb Raider-style body even after having a baby: It's a Wii Fit.

Giving birth to twins is not exactly easy on the abs, but the mother of six (three biological and three adopted) children has been burning through those post-partum pounds with a little help from Nintendo's Wii fit console. A source close to Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt has told OK! Magazine that "Angelina's kids were convincing her that video games were more than just fun. They explained to her you can do anything from practice math to learn to read music and exercise."

Angelina Jolie's Wii Fit Regimen

Those used to the Wii fit video console will naturally want to know what games Angelina Jolie uses to get her body into pre-twins shape. Well, wonder no longer, because it's the "Let's Pilates!" game, whose sales will undoubtedly increase upon the release of Jolie's unintentional testimonial. OK!'s source says that Angelina "tries to get in an hour of Pilates three times a week. She's picking it up pretty quickly and is already at the hardest setting!"

Hear that, girls? An hour of Wii Fit Pilates, three times a week is the secret to Angelina Jolie's body. However, it has been reported that more than a Wii Fit has been of assistance. Star Magazine recently reported that a little nip/tuck may have helped her along, though Jolie herself attributes her initial weight loss to breast feeding. The source revealed that "She doesn't like to talk about it or admit it, but Angelina told some friends that she had a 'mommy tuck'. She likes the way that sounds better than 'tummy tuck'."

How to Use a Wii Fit to Get Fit Like Angelina Jolie

If you're not ready for Pilates three times a week on the hardest setting, and a 'mommy tuck' is out of the question, you can still get on the road to Angelina's body with a Wii Fit. One of the keys is to get in the habit of using it everyday, if even just for a few minutes. Get in the habit of weighing yourself on it daily, so you can keep an eye on your charts. Once the numbers start to go down, you'll be motivated to do more and more.
