Nikki Reed has said that she has become more athletic since she quit smoking.

In an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, the Twilight actress said that dropping her cigarette addiction has made her more interested in sports.

"I quit smoking, like, a year ago -- actually July 5 is my one year [anniversary]," she said.

"It's really exciting. Actually, I'm probably the most excited about that, so I became more athletic after."

She added: "[I do] a lot of water sports. I surf. I water ski. I box. Apparently, now I snow ski. Nothing on a snowboard, though. For some reason, it doesn't make sense."

Reed recently admitted that she was "intimated" by her scenes in the latest Twilight film.

Twilight: Eclipse is now playing in US theatres.
