Why Pilates Has Everyone Hooked
Ever wonder how your favorite stars stay strong, flexible, and camera-ready? Spoiler: Pilates. Low-impact, full-body, and surprisingly addictive, it might just be your new obsession, too. It’s been around for over 100 years, and many celebrities have used it throughout their careers to train their bodies and minds as they work diligently to reach the top of their respective industries. World-renowned athletes like Cristiano Ronaldo and LeBron James have both credited Pilates for helping them stay in shape. James does it during the offseason to help ensure he can continue playing as many minutes as possible in his 40s, while also improving trunk stability, hip mobility, and tissue capacity. Ronaldo constantly works on strength and flexibility in Pilates studios; it helps him gain more range of motion without damaging his joints. He even posted on Instagram, “I love this exercise.” Musicians who dazzle audiences with spectacle and dance also often use Pilates to improve strength and mobility. Dua Lipa is one of the biggest names in the industry right now and often puts on incredible choreography, dancing in heels, and rarely
stopping throughout her performances. How does she keep it up? She includes Pilates with her regular strength training and yoga practices. Other singers and performers like Lady Gaga, Madonna, Miley Cyrus, and Harry Styles have also credited Pilates for helping them continue performing for their dedicated fans. When you start digging, it looks like more celebrities do Pilates than not. And why do they stick with it? It provides durability, improves posture, strengthens the core, provides rehab for chronic pain, pairs well with other exercises, and is easy to do anywhere. Pilates isn’t just for celebrities, either! It can provide the same benefits to you, even if you don’t have a big performance coming up!
