Stunning actress Kate Hudson credits a healthy eating plan and regular Pilates workouts for her amazing 70 pound (31.75 kilograms) weight-loss following each of her two pregnancies. The yummy mummy of two tipped the scales at 184 pounds (83.4 kilograms) at her heaviest whilst pregnant and relied on Pilates and low-carb food to get her back to her pre-baby weight.
At 35 years of age, Hudson looks like she is in the best shape of her life. The 5 foot 6 (167cm) beauty has been doing Pilates for over 14 years (since she was 19) and credits this form of exercise for her post-baby weight loss, as well as leaning and toning her body. Kate believes in the benefits of Pilates and loves this exercise regime so much that she even filmed her very own Pilates dvd in August last year - due to be released soon!
The super toned actress admits that losing her baby weight was no easy feat and that she exercised for up to six hours a day every day! Once she reached a happy post-baby weight, Kate reduced this crazy amount of exercise. Nowadays, Hudson likes to maintain an active lifestyle and works out several times a week because exercise honestly makes her feel good.
"When we start moving our body, it brings more dopamine and serotonin to our brains," Kate tells Instyle magazine. "It awakens your system, so I try to stay motivated to be active. I like Pilates because it strengthens you from the inside out. It really centers on your core."
The trim actress also likes to run, jump rope and do yoga. Hudson reveals that she'd prefer to exercise than starve herself, hence why she exercises daily (so she can eat everything in moderation without feeling guilty).
The mother of two sticks to a low-carb, high-protein eating plan, not unlike the Paleo diet. This form of eating has been proven to reduce fat around the stomach, as has Pilates! Kate tries to eat no more than 1,800 calories a day and does a juice cleanse twice a day to revitalise her body.

I had no idea that pilates gave her these results! My mom used to do pilates when we were kids, but she hasn't done it in decades. Maybe I should start picking it up. I guess it can't hurt anyone. http://www.sculpt-newyork.com/Home.html
