Celebrities choose Pilates
The list of celebs who choose nothing but the best (i.e. Pilates) include the luscious Liz Hurley, the gorgeous Gwyneth Paltrow and maddeningly marvelous Madonna, not to mention Martin Amis, John Cleese and Ian McKellen.
Each celeb has had some intriguing insights:
“These [Pilates] exercises are really very necessary when you do a lot of sitting… They keep you flexible enough to pull on your socks as you get older… When I get out of the car now, I don't go arrggghhh…”
– Martin Amis, novelist and twice-a-week Pilates devotee.
“I do Pilates four or five times a week. The benefits are subtle, but it increases your flexibility and really tones you up. It also straightens your spine and improves your posture. In the past eight years, I've grown more than two and a half inches (6cm). I am 5ft 7ins (1.70m) and I am very pleased with that.”
– Belinda Carlisle, singer and pop icon.
“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 Anniston, TV and movie star
“You have turned me into a Ferrari; my husband thanks you.'”
– Ruby Wax, actress, writer and TV personality, to her Pilates teacher
