She is always finding new ways to entertain herself and now AnnaLynne McCord has come up with a way to combine having fun and keeping fit.

The 90210 star was seen leaving a karate class in Los Angeles on Friday following a high octane workout.

Instead of changing into her usual glamorous and flirty attire before heading home the 25-year-old kept her uniform on.

As well as her karate whites the actress was sporting an orange belt which indicates some experience of the martial art.

AnnaLynne took a refreshing approach and was happy to go make-up free for the outing, tying her honey blonde locks into a messy ponytail.

When she left the venue the star was glued to her mobile phone as she caught up on messages.

She also made sure to stay hydrated and toted a large bottle of water to keep cool and later was seen attending the GBK Production's Luxury Lounge at W Hollywood in a striped dress.

It’s unlikely her vixen character Naomi Clark would be seen doing karate but AnnaLynne clearly enjoys the exercise as a good way to get her pulse racing.

Of course, she could be trying out the sport for size in a bid to keep up with her buff Prison Break star beau Dominic Purcell.

The lovebirds will be seen on screen together in upcoming Crime Drama Officer Down, which is due for release later this year.

It is not the only movie AnnaLynne is working on which will see her branch out with grittier roles.

In 2013 she will be seen starring in two thrillers: Gutshot Straight and Scorned, in which she plays a girl who discovers her boyfriend is having an affair with her best friend, with horrific consequences.

What is DM's obsession with this no talent lady? No one in the United States - except maybe her mother or sisters - thinks ANYTHING of her. Please quit printing stories about her.

She's so naturally pretty, it's a breath of fresh air from those FAKE Towie stars

I understand. Not all of us are cut for communal showers. Maybe I'm getting old though, because I can't understand why everyone has to have one of these mobiles in their hand, no matter what they are doing.

Orange = 1 belt test. :P not really that much experience... Good on her for starting a healthier lifestyle rather than being sickly skinny like she used to be.
