Celebs Who Love Pilates!

Posted on: 04-1-2012 Posted in: Blog

Watching celebrities pose and float down the Oscars’ Red Carpet made us wonder which of them do Pilates? Beautiful posture and a long, lean physique are always great clues, but we thought we would dig up some more info, to find out who actually does Pilates, and what they have to say about it! Here is the scoop from a few of Hollywood’s starlets:

Amanda Seyfreid says that Pilates is her weekend workout, because she “loves the stretching and toning, and feeling long and lean”.

Anna Faris told InStyle Magazine, “I think I was the last woman in Los Angeles who hadn’t done Pilates,” says Faris. “It really changed my body!” Starting about six weeks before filming a movie with lots of skimpy outfits, Faris worked with her Pilates instructor six days a week and was thrilled with the results.

Cameron Diaz’s longtime trainer Teddy Bass says that she uses a mixture of Pilates, cardio, and weight training to stay in shape: “That seems to be the best combination for women over 30,” he explains. “Women need weight – it’s great for building the butt. And elongation and smallness is tapped by doing Pilates.” When it comes to Pilates, Cameron loves a combination of mat and Reformer work.

FitSugar.com shares that Mandy Moore exercises her body by going on hikes and doing Pilates three or four times a week, and she achieves mental health and happiness by receiving regular acupuncture sessions and going to therapy. She loves acupuncture and says, “It’s so restorative. It brings me back to myself.” It’s clear that Mandy is doing everything she can to take care of herself, and her efforts are paying off.

Sandra Bullock told InStyle that whenever she’s in LA, she makes her Pilates classes a priority. She also relied on the workout when she wanted to get in shape for her role in The Proposal; she wanted to look strong, but also feminine for her swimsuit scenes.

We say, take their word for it!
