The new Lara Croft! Action girl Jennifer Lawrence sprints towards preparations for Hunger Games sequel

She came under fire for being 'too fat' to play heroine Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games.
And not only did Jennifer Lawrence prove to have a wise head on her young shoulders by laughing it off at the time - she is also determined to silence her critics by getting in shape for the sequel.
The 21-year-old was switching between a gentle jog and energetic run as she hit Santa Monica.

Having gained notoriety for her 2010 Oscar nomination in The Winter's Bone, Jennifer was plucked from the Hollywood lottery of rising stars to fill the shoes of the fictional action girl protagonist.

 
She is no doubt striving for a svelte silhouette before filming of the second film commences.
Lawrence will reprise her role alongside co-star Liam Hemsworth for 2013 release Catching Fire, having triumphed in the debut offering.

The first chapter is set against a Battle Royale-esque backdrop whereby children fight each other live on television until only one survives, in the name of entertainment.

The next film will see the continuing adventures of Katniss, which take place in a futuristic dystopia world, as she prepares for the Quarter Quell.

With bows and arrows, climbing trees, and shielding herself from enemies, Jennifer will need to be fit when filming commences.

She looked in fine form during her Californian workout today, enjoying the beach views rather than locking herself behind the closed doors of a gym.
Dressed in navy Nike leggings and grey trainers with an orange sole, Jennifer was a natural beauty with her hair tied back simply in a ponytail and a pair of shades to reduce the make-up free factor.
During the release of the first film earlier this year, a source close to Jennifer told the Chicago Sun-Times that Lawrence isn't taking any of the criticism about her body too seriously.
The insider said: 'Jennifer told me, "This is hilarious. First, people say how so many actresses in Hollywood look anorexic, and now they are criticizing me for looking normal."'
