Celebrities who swear by Pilates

Celebrities who swear by Pilates

What do Rose, the star of the Titanic movie, Rachel from Friends, the queen of pop, a world-famous supermodel, and the brightest star of English football have in common? Yes, they are all millionaires, and they all enjoy immense popularity, but that's not what we're getting at. So, what do they have in common?
Pilates!
Indeed – they are all fanatical Pilates enthusiasts. Let's see why!
1. Jennifer Aniston
The actress who played Rachel Green, beloved by many, struggled for many years with chronic back pain and pinched nerves. The last straw was a hip problem – when the pain appeared in her hip, she decided to try Pilates. A few hours were enough for her to become truly addicted. The back pain and hip problems quickly disappeared. Since then, Pilates has become a routine for her, and thanks to the sport, she feels healthier and taller.
2. Vanessa Williams
It might seem that Pilates is a new trend, but it's actually a hundred years old! Vanessa Williams, who played Renee in the series Desperate Housewives, discovered Pilates more than twenty years ago. She used it to regain the shape of her core after the birth of her first child. Since Pilates focuses primarily on the core, Vanessa quickly regained her slim figure, and has been enthusiastically practicing Pilates ever since.
3. Kate Winslet
Who would have thought that the beautiful, slender actress struggled with excess weight in her teenage years? Yet, Kate Winslet at one point weighed 82 kilograms, and by adulthood, she had already experienced the excessive suffering associated with strict diets and relentless workout programs. Even fame did not protect the actress from criticism – she was also expected to be in perfect shape at all times. After giving birth, she decided to try Pilates, and has been enthusiastically exercising ever since. She claims that Pilates has made her healthy and fit again, and she has achieved the perfect figure for her.
4. Madonna
The queen of pop is also a true Pilates fan, perhaps that's why she still looks amazing even over 60. Madonna's physique has always been impeccable, as she has always strived to live as healthily as possible. The singer has many reasons to continue with Pilates – she owes her correct posture, her proper breathing technique to Pilates, and through Pilates, she can avoid injuries during tours.
5. Heidi Klum
Heidi Klum simply cannot look bad! She owes this to her strict workout program (and, of course, her genes). Pilates is naturally an indispensable part of this workout program. Heidi loves Pilates so much that she didn't give it up even during her pregnancies. Since Pilates is an excellent form of exercise for expectant mothers, she was able to maintain her figure while the baby was perfectly safe.
6. Megan Fox
Megan Fox is an example that Pilates is perfect even for the lazy. Megan admitted in an interview that she is extremely lazy and doesn't like going to the gym. That's why the slow, controlled movements of Pilates, the long stretches, and deep breathing are excellent for her. She claims to do a lot of Pilates to keep her body slim and toned.
7. David Beckham
That's right, because Pilates is not only beneficial for women! More and more men are discovering the positive effects of Pilates. Elite athletes are no exception. They use Pilates to build a long, injury-free career. The English footballer also recognized the potential in Pilates. He became acquainted with the exercise method at the Italian AC Milan football team, as the team's management insisted that all their players do Pilates. The workout program drastically reduced Beckham's body fat mass. He said the following about Pilates: “I do Pilates for an hour a day. It’s fantastic, and I haven’t been in such good shape in terms of fitness for a long time.” He also added that he hadn't looked this good in years.
We could continue the list: Sandra Bullock, Reese Witherspoon, Selena Gomez, Lucy Liu, Naomi Campbell… If we look at the beneficial effects of Pilates, it's not surprising at all that world stars also swear by this form of exercise. So, try it yourself, and you can say that you follow the same workout program as the celebrities!
