I have gained tremendous confidence in my body during the past 79 days. Each summer, I cringe when I first put on that swimsuit, but not this year! My daily Pilates routine has definitely paid off. I’m not sure you can put a price on a Pilates body. However, there are those who have “million-dollar bodies” and credit Pilates for them. Here are just a couple such celebrities:
A few weeks ago, many were glued to the television to witness the royal wedding. True, the wedding was magnificent. But, who were we all talking about afterwards? Pippa Middleton, Kate’s younger sister. Breathtaking in her beautiful gown, everyone wanted to know how she achieved that body.
Pippa gave a testimonial that praised her Pilates instructor, Margot, and the benefits of Pilates. She raved:
As someone who is always “on the go,” Pilates has been a wonderful escape from my busy lifestyle in London. Whether it’s 7:00 a.m. or 7:00 p.m., I always finish Pilates feeling calm, refreshed, and invigorated. Over the past few months, I have noticed a huge difference in my core strength and posture. I couldn’t more highly recommend Margot as a Pilates instructor. From breathing techniques, muscle toning, and overall flexibility and relaxation, my Pilates sessions have become something of a weekly necessity that keeps me fit, happy, and energized.
Possibly an even higher-paid Pilates body is a football player for the Indianapolis Colts, Gary Brackett. When Gary signed his most recent contract, $33 million with a $12-million sign-on bonus, he admitted to reporters, “I actually left my Pilates class a little early to get here and be in front of all of you.” This two-time Super Bowl champ uses Pilates to mentally and physically prepare himself for the strength and flexibly his position demands.
Celebrities endorse Pilates because it can help achieve that “perfect body.” They are always in the spotlight, under constant pressure to be toned and lean. Appearances need to be a priority for them, and they are paid well for it. With a bank account that allows them to train with the best, do the best exercise programs, and have access to the latest and greatest equipment, celebs choose Pilates. They know it works.
