TOP FIVE CELEBRITIES WHO LOVE PILATES

1. Jennifer Aniston

This girl-next-door American actress has a killer body for her 43 years. Aniston's trim and toned physique is due to a combination of Pilates, yoga, spinning and running. The beautiful actress likes to exercise at least five and sometimes six days a week. Jennifer started Pilates in an attempt to cure her chronic back pain, pinched nerve and severe hip pain. After just a few sessions Aniston was a Pilates convert! She now no longer experiences any joint pain due to her improved core strength. In addition, Jennifer says that Pilates makes her feel healthier and taller! 

2. Kate Winslet 

The 38-year-old actress's tough weight battles have been a focus of the media for several years. In 2009 Winslet revealed that the secret to her toned curves was '20 minutes or more of daily Pilates workouts'. The mother of three states that she has now 'reached her ultimate figure'. 

3. Kate Hudson 

Another Kate! 35-year-old Hudson has been doing Pilates since she was 19 and cannot rave about it enough. 'I think that was the foundation for everything that I have done....I like Pilates because it kind of strengthens from the inside out. It's very specific and I feel the strongest when I'm doing it because it really centres on your core.' Kate loves Pilates so much that last year she made her very own Pilates dvd! 

4. Orlando Bloom

A man! Pilates is not an exercise exclusive to women to many years, as men have started to discover the amazing health and fitness benefits that this form of exercise brings with it. After a three-story fall at age 21, doctors told Bloom that he would never walk again. Pilates assisted greatly in his recovery and 18 months later he was able to get back to his career and start filming again. Years on and Orlando's lower back is still doing well, thanks to consistent Pilates workouts that focus on strengthening his core. 

5. David Beckham 

Another man! The former England soccer star initially got into Pilates to assist with injury prevention and to improve his sporting career. Beckham was first introduced to Pilates whilst on loan in Milan, as Pilates is compulsory for all the Italian soccer players to enhance their flexibility and balance. David was immediately impressed by how quickly his body fat decreased when doing Pilates regularly. 'I do an hour of Pilates a day. It is fantastic and fitness-wise I am the best I have been for a long time...I am in the best shape in years', says Beckham.

ORLANDO BLOOM'S TONED PILATES TORSO

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.
