PILATES HELPED MARGOT ROBBIE FIT INTO HER SUICIDE SQUAD OUTFIT




Australian actress Margot Robbie had to be in top shape to play psychotic member of Suicide Squad Harley Quinn, especially as she spends most of the whole movie in tiny shorts! Robbie was able to fit into her minuscule costume due to many gruelling Pilates workouts on the Reformer, which focused primarily on toning her gluts (bottom) and abdominals. 

Margot's Pilates trainer recently revealed the details about Robbie's pre Suicide Squad workouts. 
"We did a lot of abs, but also full-body toning, because that way, everything is pulling together and more calories are burned when you're working the entire body. We did a lot of personal training on the Pilates reformer, with more tension and higher reps...We did a lot of different types of planks and pikes on the reformer. We also did a lot of butt exercises, lifting and lowering the legs with the feet in the straps....as well as Pilates exercises on the mat."

As Margot only had two weeks to tone her body before she got into her short shorts, her workouts were incredibly gruelling and were two to three hours in length each day! This is definitely not something that we recommend here at the studio, however we thought it worthwhile to mention so you can understand how hard Robbie worked to get her body ready for the movie.  We recommend a minimum of one Pilates class a week to see results, however your results will increase much faster with the more classes you attend a week. In addition to reformer and mat Pilates, Margot did a lot of cross training and cardio to slim down for the role, including swimming, running, ballet, high intensity interval training and trampoline jumping. The 26-year-old actress finished every single workout session with a long stretching session to elongate her tight muscles.
