Why Celebrities Love Pilates (and why you will too!)
There are so many fitness trends out there, many of them attached to famous celebrities. It seems like every year something new pops up: f2.rom Crossfit to HIIT to Peloton and more, the internet will always serve up new (and sometimes crazy) ways to move your body. The thing is, not only will trends come and go, some can actually be quite dangerous. In contrast to some of the latest trends, Pilates has been around for decades, and is a safe and effective low impact way to strengthen, lengthen, and tone your body.
It’s no wonder celebrities love it. Let’s dive in to see some of the reasons celebrities have given for loving Pilates:
Pilates Can Give You Red Carpet Ready Abs
One of the things that drives many to start Pilates is the focus on the core- those “six pack abs” that everyone is after. While the list of benefits of doing Pilates is much longer than stronger, more toned abs, it’s still a big draw card for Pilates. As we mentioned in a previous blog post, Lori Harvey set the internet alight when she noted on the red carpet that Pilates was responsible for her slim, toned physique.
Pilates Can Get You In the Best Shape of Your Life
David Beckham, an English professional footballer (or, soccer player for our US readers), was once quoted as saying "I do an hour of Pilates a day. I'm in my best shape in years due to an hour-long daily routine." Considering Beckham’s demanding football career, this is a huge endorsement for Pilates! In fact, more and more professional athletes are turning to Pilates for their cross training needs.
Pilates is a Low Impact Exercise with Big Impact Results
Chelsea Handler, a comedian, actress, director, and producer chose Pilates because of its low impact nature, saying "I was a fitness fiasco — until I found Pilates...It's been the most gentle on my body...I'm longer and leaner and much more graceful. I can honestly say it's changed my body — and my life."
Pilates is Helps You Stay Long and Lean
Hilary Duff has always been active, but it wasn’t until she found Pilates that she started seeing true results. "I was a gymnast when I was little, so I think Pilates is really important to helping me stay long and lean. I try to do it three times a week.”
