Nothing good ever happens in a blackout. I've never woken up and been like, 'What is this Pilates mat doing out?'
I work out a lot and I do yoga and I do Pilates and I'm kind of athletic. I've taken dance classes, but at the same point I'm just a total klutz.
I quite like Pilates now. I have a Pilates girl in every city.
Now [after doing Pilates], I have muscles of steel and could easily deal with giving birth.
I think men are drawn to Pilates because they have this vague notion it will help them with back issues. But they stick with it because it truly makes them feel better.
Pilates is amazing, my posture is so much better and I'm even starting to get muscles on my tummy - it's incredible.
Pilates reveals your weaknesses. If one side of your body is stronger than the other, you know it pretty quickly. You need to correct that, and to do so you have to work at it.
Pilates has so many applications for everyone. It's a system of total body conditioning that prepares people for functional fitness ... It improves postural problems, strengthens and stabilizes the core, helps prevent injuries as you get older and heightens body awareness.
I've done yoga, and I want to start Pilates soon.
Pilates is my favorite meditative way to get in shape. I don't like the gym and I don't like running, so I just lay on my Pilates reformer. It's great.
