Actress Allison Williams, or perhaps more commonly known as Marnie Michaels on the hit TV show Girls, has revealed a different side of herself in the December / January 2016 Harper's Bazaar cover (see skipping photo just above). The toned star shows off her very fit physique and washboard abs as she skips around the shoot! Williams says that this magazine piece is especially significant to her, as she has never bared her body and in particular her stomach, until now. Allison reveals her secret to her insanely toned abs is none other than regular Pilates workouts!
Williams shared a photo of her skipping with her trim abs on display (see above) with the caption: "I am particularly proud of this one (this photo). For my whole life until 2 years ago, I was super self-conscious about my stomach. I dreaded bikini season. I kept it covered. Boyfriends weren't allowed to touch it. No amount of crunches seemed to strengthen it."
What changed 2 years ago was that she discovered Pilates. Allison's Instagram caption continued: "Then I met Ilaria Cavagna who introduced me to the magic and focus of Pilates. I have never felt stronger, healthier, more focused, or more feminine. Now, I love my stomach because it keeps me grounded to my core. And it's still the same stomach! Here's to proving yourself wrong."
Williams is one of many celebrities that have been raving about this exercise regime as of late. The taut star reveals that in addition to Equipment Pilates (see above as she swings from a Pilates machine called the Cadillac) she also loves 'Core Fusion', which "mixes together Pilates and barre method. It’s really hard and kicks my butt". Allison also gets her cardio hit from doing SoulCycle, which she describes as " basically a dance party on a bicycle, and you burn calories and it’s so fun." She admits that she is not a fan of running as "...I have terrible knees and get bored on the elliptical (treadmill)."
Healthy eating is vital to maintaining Allison's svelte figure as well (sorry guys, Pilates won't take care of it all!). Williams says that the Girls set is always stocked with unhealthy junk food, however she avoids temptation by being prepared and carrying healthy snacks with her at all times. The actress eats lots of fruit, veges and lean protein but says that she cannot give up peanut butter, pretzels and diet coke! We like to hear that even celebrities can't deny their junk food cravings sometimes!
