Elizabeth Hurley hasn't been to the gym 'for decades'

Elizabeth Hurley hasn't been to the gym "for decades".

The 60-year-old star is known for her enviable figure but explained that her exercise comes through the gardening she does at her Herefordshire home.

Elizabeth told Hello! magazine: "I haven’t set foot in a gym for decades and don't work out per se, but I'm very active by nature and rarely sit still.

"When I'm at home, I spend all day wrestling my garden into submission, so by default, I bend, stretch and lift things all day long."

The Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery actress added: "I have a tool shed for which only I have a key, full of my 'lady tools'. My favourite is a mini leaf-blower that Joan Collins and her husband gave me. I use it every day."

Hurley often posts bikini pictures of herself on social media and revealed that she has spent much of this summer in her swimwear.

She said: "My whole life, I've been happiest in jeans and a T-shirt, but this summer has been so hot that I've spent most days in a bikini. Luckily, I have a warehouse full of them."
