ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK ACTRESS PIPER (TAYLOR SCHILLING) LOVES PILATES

Orange is the New Black actress Taylor Schilling, or better known as Piper Chapman in the popular Netflix drama, rocks a very toned figure in the TV series, even though her prison wardrobe includes a very unflattering jumpsuit! Taylor's lean figure is due to Pilates, yoga and chicken, brown rice and veggies apparently! 

Clearly, if you look good in prison with minimal makeup and baggy clothes you are doing something right! Schilling describes her fitness regime as 'moderate and simple'. The 32-year-old is not a fan of juice detoxes or cleanses and instead chooses to do workouts that she loves, which include Pilates, yoga, dance and gym workouts. Taylor reveals that she especially loves working on the Pilates reformer which she finds: "really fun. I can literally feel my muscles working and being transformed". To see our very own Reformer Class Timetable, click here.

The trim star also follows a very simple eating plan. Schilling  tries to eat food that makes her feel energised and not depleted, therefore wholesome, healthy food is in abundance and artificial sugar is avoided. Taylor says that over the years she has "trained herself to stay away from sugar". The star is known for eating very simple meals whilst on set of her hit tv show, which often include some type of protein such as chicken or fish, brown rice and vegetables. 

The 'Orange' star sums up her fitness philosophy as one of enjoyment. "I try to come at fitness and nutrition from a perspective of gentleness and what will make me feel good afterwards. I try to stay out of the mindset of needing to fix myself. I do whatever seems fun to me. So it’s a philosophy of healthy enjoyment, but not fixing yourself." We totally agree!
