We’d all love to look like our favourite celebs, and a popular fitness trend may help get you there. The likes of Jennifer Aniston and Lady Gaga have been spotted trying it out
Celebs are burning calories by turning to one simple exercise – and it doesn’t make you break up too much of a sweat.
The likes of Jennifer Aniston and Lady Gaga have been seen doing reformer Pilates lately, and the simple workout could work wonders for those looking to tone up.
Pilates is a combination of around 50 simple, repetitive exercises that work to create muscular exertion. It works to improve flexibility, build muscle, tone up your bod and boost muscular control.
A study carried out back in 2021 also found that it’s a super effective way to shed weight and body fat percentage. As well as this, it revealed that the longer a person performed Pilates, the more weight they went onto lose.
When it comes to why it’s so good for you, it’s because the workout stabilises the muscles – and they are often muscles people haven’t worked hard before.
This allows the body to change a lot, and people get to see results pretty quickly. Not to mention, it isn’t a stressful workout.
You don’t need to get hot and sweaty in order to make the most of the workout. And, when it comes to experience, most people start with little or none and then go onto progress.
The only snag is it will take around 30 sessions to see the results in your body, though you should start to feel different after 20 classes.
One of the big pros is you can also work to target certain areas of your body. By following certain plans you can take action to try and make this happen.
When it comes to how many calories you burn, this can vary from person to person. However, it’s thought a 60-minute class will burn anything in the range of 250 to 450 calories.
And, if the likes of Jen and Gaga wasn’t enough to make you think the workout is worth it, then you should know a lot of other celebs have tried it out too.
It’s been reported Hailey Bieber, Adele, Meghan Markle and even Harry Styles have all taken to Pilates to to get fit and tone up.
