Orlando Bloom looked buff and toned on a recent beach holiday (picture above) which led many woman and men around the world to wonder what he does to stay so fit. The answer is none other than Pilates, which he has incorporated into his exercise regime for the past several years.
The 37-year-old British actor admits that whilst he lifts weights, attends yoga classes, plays tennis and goes mountain bike riding Pilates is his mainstay form of exercise. Bloom is known to take his exercise and fitness seriously, therefore we do not think that he would regularly attend Pilates classes unless they were very tough and beneficial. The actor reveals that he is a regular at Ballet Bodies in LA, a Pilates studio. "Pilates is great", Bloom says. "I'm man enough to walk into Ballet Bodies". I'm sure the female clients there do not mind his attendance one bit!
Bloom's commitment to Pilates stems from a serious three-story fall he had when he was just 21 years of age which broke his back. "At 21 years old, I had no mobility...I'm grateful for it", the Brit reveals. Doctors doubted that Bloom would walk again after the accident, however after surgery to install countless screws and plates into his spine he proved them wrong. Less than a year and a half later, after intense rehab, Bloom was back to work, riding a horse in New Zealand. "I'm always working on my back...it hasn't prevented me from doing anything, but it's a constant reminder", says Orlando. Pilates is therefore incredibly important to Bloom, as he needs to keep his core strong to support his lower back.
