Sometimes we need some fluff reading… so here are some celebrity quotes on Pilates.
“Now I have muscles of steel and could easily deal with giving birth.”
Hugh Grant
“I’m a Pilates person. It’s great. I had a hip problem. I had a chronic back, a pinched nerve and a hip problem and it’s completely solved all of it. I love it. It makes me feel like I’m taller.”
Jennifer Aniston
“I’ve been using Pilates for many years – it’s the best system I’ve found for isolating and strengthening individual muscles without stress to the joints.”
Patrick Swayze
“What do I like most about Pilates? The fact that I can really feel my body working. I might do 250 crunches but my body is so used to them that I don’t really feel them. With Pilates, I can really feel [my abds] even if I only do six or 12 repetitions.”
Joan Collins
I have been practicing Pilates for a year and has improved my mood. With this method my body releases endorphins, and these substances act directly on my brain, causing a feeling of wellbeing and relaxation immediately. Thus, exercising with the Pilates Method, I can naturally combat stress, anxiety, fatigue, sadness, cell degeneration and infection. The most important thing is that Pilates has helped me understand my body and enjoy it.
Oh this made me try out pilates so bad!
