Pippa Middleton is a "military-fitness obsessive".
The 30-year-old beauty, who is the sister of Britain's Duchess Catherine, admits she's a fan of the gruelling classes in her latest column for Waitrose Magazine.
The February edition features the stunning brunette cooking French puddings for Valentine's Day with Michelin-starred chef Eric Chavot.
She writes: "Early morning - a tad too early, even for a military-fitness obsessive like me - and I'm in an underground kitchen in London's Mayfair sitting next to a gregarious Frenchman in shorts."
Pippa is known to keep herself toned and healthy and often attends classes with pilates guru Margot Campbell.
She has also competed in sporting events and finished the 90km Vasaloppet cross-country ski race in 2013.
Military fitness classes are known for being tough and not for the faint-hearted, with participants often having to get up before sunrise to train in local parks.
The British Military Fitness website reads: "With the encouragement of your fitness instructor you'll train in pairs, in groups and teams, climbing over, crawling under and running around each other from the first to the last minute."
Meanwhile, Pippa has sparked rumours she's split from her boyfriend, Nico Jackson, who she has been dating for over a year, after she attended a wedding without him this month.
She arrived at St Paul's Church in Knightsbridge, London, on February 8 for the nuptials of Arrabella Musgrave and George Galliers-Pratt.
Arrabella - who is the daughter of Major Nicholas Musgrave - dated Prince William in 1999 before he went on to meet Catherine at the University of St Andrews in Scotland.

Royal
Britain's Prince William made an impassioned plea to save endangered species from poachers last night (12.02.14).
The 31-year-old royal, who is campaigning with his father, Prince Charles, addressed more than 400 delegates at a reception at London's Natural History Museum and spoke about his strategies to rid the world of the illegal trade.
According to the Daily Express newspaper, he said: "Tonight we are here with a single, shared purpose - to use our collective influence to put a stop to the illegal killing and trafficking of some of our world's most iconic and endangered species.
"Never before has a group like this come together - in these numbers - to stop the illegal trade in wildlife. All of us in this room have a duty to make sure that tomorrow, February 13, is a date that marks the beginning of the end of this despicable trade."
He paid tribute to his father and grandfather, Prince Philip, who have both campaigned on the issue for years, despite Philip shooting a tiger and posing for a photograph with Queen Elizabeth in 1961, before it was made illegal.
He also failed to mention a hunting trip he went on with his brother, Prince Harry, in Spain this month, which has been described by critics as being "ill-timed."
William said: "We are, as a family, so honoured to be part of this movement. We will stay the course with you until you succeed.
"Let's turn tonight's goodwill into action, and, please, let's be part of the movement that can tell our children and grandchildren that we saved these extraordinary species for them."
The prince also attended a conference with his father and brother at Lancaster House in London this morning to discuss the illegal wildlife trade.
