"The kids were convincing her that video games were more than just fun," a source close to Jolie tells OK!. "They explained to her you can do anything from practice math to learn to read music and exercise."
"She tries to get in an hour of Pilates three times a week," the source says. "She's picking it up pretty quickly and is already at the hardest setting!"
Pilates, developed in the early 20th century by Joseph Pilates in Germany, focuses on building flexibility, strength, endurance, and coordination without adding muscle bulk.
The exercises teach awareness of breath and alignment of the spine, and aim to strengthen the deep torso muscles.
