Jolie turns to video games to shed babyweight

Washington, Nov 6 : Angelina Jolie is using her kids' video game console to shed her babyweight.

The actress has been struggling to get back in shape after giving birth to twins Knox and Vivienne back in July (08).

Now, she has turned to her kids' video games to reclaim her former figure.

In fact, her eldest son Maddox, seven, has shown her the way - by teaching her all about virtual Pilates on his Nintendo DS computer.

"The kids were convincing her that video games were more than just fun. They explained to her that you can do anything from practice math to learn to read music and exercise," Contactmusic quoted a family insider, as saying.

"She 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," the insider added.
