If you desire to have an incredibly toned physique a la Kate Hudson, you've got to work your `a** off`, says the actress.

The 35-year-old, who is a mother of two, says that her svelte figure is the result of all the hard work she invests in a gym when she is not doing films, reports dailymail.co.uk.

`You (have to) work your a** off, that's the only way. You have to eat right. It's just you have to work out,` Us Weekly magazine quoted Hudson as saying. The `Almost Famous` star believes that people should maintain a good workout schedule rather than doing it for a day and than leaving it for some other time.

`I wouldn't say (I work out) a lot, just consistently. People think for some reason you have to work out for two and a half hours but it can be little. It can be 20 minutes, it could be 40 minutes, but you have to (get it in),` she added.
