Streisand No Gym Fanatic

UNLIKE some of her Hollywood peers, Barbra Streisand is no exercise fanatic.

``I hate exercising, I hate it," Streisand said as she ate carrot soup.

``Hey, I love to eat, that's what I love to do, but I've gotta exercise."

Streisand said she hit the gym about three days a week - ``I do the bare minimum."

What she prefers to do is tend the rose garden at her California home.

``Watching things grow, planting seeds and nurturing things - it's a very feminine thing, I think," the 60-year-old entertainer said. ``It gives me such pleasure to see them healthy and strong."
