Why do all the celebrities do Pilates? You may
have seen the paparazzi pictures of celebrities
leaving their yoga or Pilates classes, looking
fresh faced and demure, or perhaps youve
listened to an interview where a celebrity raves
about how Pilates is an essential part of their
health regime, and wondered what all the fuss is
about. If youve never actually tried Pilates,
you may be asking yourself Why? Well, lets not
diminish the amazing health benefits
Pilates has to offer, such as toning and
lengthening the muscles in your body,
strengthening your core which leads to a strong
support frame for you body, and in turn
centers the weight and pressure of your
body onto the strongest structure, your
spine. However, here are a few other
benefits you may not have considered.
No blisters on your feet from running
shoes Pilates is about stretching and lengthening
the body, not just bouncing up and down to get
your heart rate up. So the gentle but controlled,
fluid movement of Pilates means you dont have to
worry about wear and tear on particular part of
your body, i.e. your feet. With running, the
weight is absorbed by your feet, with tennis, the
impact is on your feet and in your hands, with
swimming well we all know what chlorine does to
your hair and skin but Pilates doesnt have
the same issues. Although Pilates is an intense
modality, that works your entire body, the weight
is distributed evening, meaning your feet remain
blister free and pretty as a picture,

ready for your red carpet heals, your hands dont
become callused and cracked, and your hair and
skin escape being dunked into any harsh pool
chemicals. No risk of sunburn Any celebrity with
beautiful skin will tell you they stay out of the
sun and look after their skin, so it makes
sense that they work out indoors. With a
Pilates class you can be in a climate
controlled room and protected from the suns
harmful rays, something your skin will thank you
for. The comfort of home studios You know you
are a true celebrity when there is a chance you
could get sprung by the paparazzi on your way to
the gym. So a lot of celebrities have found a
solution to this problem, and set up a reformer
bed in their own home! Nothing says
luxury like being able to work out in the
privacy of you own home, and have a qualified
Pilates instructor that comes to your house. The
convenience of private instructors Although there
a fabulous Pilates classes available,
particularly in Melbourne, the high flying
celebrity who runs a hectic schedule may not
always be able to attend at regular times, that
is why they may opt for a private class that
offers one-on-one tuition with a Pilates
instructor, at a time that suits them. This may
sound like your kind of lifestyle, but your lack
of Oscar nominations might be holding you back.
