Actress Gemma Arterton keeps fit by working out with her trainer via Skype.
The 27-year-old underwent exercise routines with a personal trainer over the internet video software six days a week while shooting forthcoming film 'Byzantium', reported Contactmusic.
"It's the new thing, we've decided, because I was filming in Ireland. I hate working out in gyms, and I don't like the way they make your body look," she said.
While Arterton was keen to get in shape for the movie - in which she plays Clara, a vampire prostitute and mother who is protective of her daughter - she insists too many intelligent actresses are slimming down in excess.
"I saw an actress I know and she's lost so much weight. She's gone from a size 12 to a size four within two months. There are so many good, intelligent actresses doing this, and I just think, 'Why does that go hand in hand with the acting profession?' It shouldn't. It lets the side down. It lets down team woman.
