Evangeline Lilly is one of the most elegant big name Canadian celebrities out there, but according to the actress her method of fitness doesn’t involve a personal trainer or the gym. Instead, she does a lot of the handy work around her house.

“I may be #Canadian but I’m no #lumberjack,” Lilly wrote on Instagram. “That doesn’t stop me from cutting back the tree-sized weeds that threaten to overtake my house all the time.”

She then went on to describe her lack of a fitness routine.

“I haven’t been to the gym in about 10 years and I’ve never had a personal trainer. I’m passionate about #health and #fitness but my days don’t revolve around it. There’s too much else to get done.”

“I suppose I could pay someone to do a lot of the stuff I do...clean my house, tend my garden, carry my luggage, mind my children, cut my jungle,” she went on. “But something in me feels that if I let go of all that, I’d be losing out.”

Along with the message, Lilly also posted a video of her tackling the aforementioned tree with a saw. Impressive!
