Body envy alert! Kate Hudson’s Instagram is all abs, abs, abs

Actress Kate Hudson has always been something of a fitness fanatic, and if these latest photos are anything to go by, she's upped her game of late.

The blonde beauty is currently enjoying a holiday on the island of Skiathos off Greece with her mum Goldie Hawn, and is taking every opportunity to show off her toned beach body.

The How To Lose A Guy in 10 Days star posted a picture to Instagram yesterday proving just how much her hard work in the gym has paid off. Posing on a low wall next to a swimming pool, Kate looked every inch the Greek goddess:

We've already printed it off and stuck it on the fridge…

If you were thinking that Kate's incredible-looking figure might be the work of some clever angles and Instagram filtering, you'd be wrong, as Kate was snapped by photographers in the exact same bikini just hours later while looking equally fabulous.

The actress headed to the beach with her mum and two friends, and while her two sons Bingham and Ryder are also on the trip they were nowhere to be seen. Maybe it's best – they probably wouldn't have been too keen to join in on this group photo:

Kate has spoken in the past about her love of exercise, saying she's happy even to get a short session in every day.

"I wouldn't say [I work out] a lot, just consistently," she told reporters at the Golden Globes this year, where she wowed in a skintight white Versace dress. 

"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," she explained.

While her usual routine is a mile-long run three times a week, followed by a Pilates class, Kate says she has other options for when she's short on time. "I love skipping with a rope because it's one of the hardest cardio exercises you can do, but it's so easy. I do three sets of three minutes; I'm always shocked at how sweaty I get."

Sounds like a good system to us!
