VICTORIA SECRET MODEL KARLIE KLOSS LOVES MAT & REFORMER PILATES

Six foot one (around 185cm) beauty Karlie Kloss is genetically blessed, no doubt about that! However I do find it very refreshing when I read that celebrities, and in particular models, are dedicated to working out. Kloss works out around five times a week, and whilst she regularly mixes up her workouts her one constant is PILATES. 

In addition to consistent Pilates classes the Victoria Secret model mixes up her exercise regime with spin classes, ballet classes and personal training. Kloss says that she is 'always trying new classes and techniques!'

Karlie admits that she 'loves' working out on the Pilates reformer as well as doing matwork classes and exercises with light weights and resistance bands whenever she has a chance. 

It appears that Kloss's personal trainer Julie Kaska programs her sessions to include aspects of Pilates in addition to Karlie's Pilates classes. 'We focus on a general lengthening, strengthening workout'. Kaska also reveals that the toned model is a 'delight to work with'. “She’s (Karlie) so full of life all the time. I don’t know how she does it! She jumps off a plane and squeezes in a workout in L.A., and still has a smile on her face.”

Maintaining Karlie's trim figure is not all thanks to Pilates however! Kloss eats very healthily with an eating plan comprising of fruits, vegetables and lean protein. She always carries food with her and snacks often, reaching for dark chocolate, nuts, apples, spearmint or even cookies! Interestingly, Karlie has her own cookie brand! They are called Karlie's Kookies and are vegan and are filled with nourishing ingredients. If only they were in Australia!

VICTORIA SECRET MODEL BEHATI PRINSLOO GETS RUNWAY READY WITH PILATES

Behati Prinsloo is getting runway ready for the Victoria Secret 2014 fashion show with lots of Pilates, Yoga and no bread! The 25-year-old stunner has upped her exercise routine, which means more of her favourite exercise, Pilates, and less of one of her favourite foods, bread. 

"When it's (the annual Victoria Secret fashion show) a month away, I try to do something active every day and focus on nutrition. Right now, I'm trying to eliminate bread - that's always my big problem," Behati laughed to the American edition of OK! magazine.

Prinsloo's toned and taut physique has ensured her a major spot in the world famous fashion show for the past five years. The Namibian model works hard to maintain her enviable figure and is committed to her diverse exercise regime. 

"Some girls do boxing, others do Zumba; it's really about what works for your body. I love Pilates and yoga, which are great for long, lean muscles, plus a little running and light weights." Behati also likes to swim, paddle board and surf when she gets the chance. 

Trim Behati admits that Pilates is her staple form of exercise. "I try to do Pilates all year round," she recently told a source. She also goes to the gym, where "a trainer kicks my butt when its needed". 

Prinsloo reveals that her husband, Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine, helps to keep her dedicated when it comes to exercise, as the couple frequently work out together. "He (Adam) motivates me a lot, and it's great to have him around before the show. We're both pretty active, so it makes our relationship a lot of fun." Behati says that she loves having a husband who understands the need for exercise and living a healthy lifestyle.

VICTORIA SECRET MODEL KARLIE KLOSS SHARES her EXERCISE SECRETS and why she LOVES PILATES

At only 21 years of age Victoria Secret angel Karlie Kloss is ranked 7th out of the top 50 models in the world and is one of Vogue Paris's top 30 models of the 2000's. Kloss stole headlines last year due to her very cute pixie cut, her fashionable style and of course, her toned & trim body! Karlie recently gave an interview where she revealed all her health and fitness secrets, which of course included PILATES! 

Kloss recently told 'T' magazine that she maintains her physique by exercising at least five days a week, balancing her cardio and strength/weight training. Karlie is a classically trained ballerina and therefore grew up with exercise framing her childhood. The young model loves to workout with friends whenever she can, as this pushes and challenges her. Saying that, Kloss also values working out solo, as she views exercise as "an opportunity to get away from everything and focus on myself.  It keeps me centered, and it’s the one or so hour in my day when I can clear my mind and just focus on movement." 

The sought-old model loves to work out outdoors and takes advantage of the summer weather by going for hikes and bike rides. In chilly New York City in winter, however, Kloss prefers the gym. Karlie says that feeling "strong both physically and mentally" motivates her to stay in shape and keep at her fitness regime. "I exercise to challenge my body to reach new goals. Movement feeds my mind and gives me energy throughout the day."

This Victoria Secret angel has also learnt to exercise incidentally. "I’ve learned that there are so many easy ways to incorporate movement into your everyday life. Instead of taking an escalator, I’ll take the stairs. I try to walk instead of taking the subway or a cab. It’s all about staying in motion." 

When 'T' magazine asked Kloss what exercise regime she prefers with regards to Pilates or Yoga, Karlie was quick to comment. "I enjoy yoga, but I’m a huge Pilates fan. Pilates relies on isolated, controlled movement and has allowed me to build up my core and strengthen my legs and arms." Karlie loves to Instagram evidence of her Pilates workouts whenever she gets a chance! 

The beauty admits that eating healthily plays an enormous role in maintaining her enviable shape. "It’s so important to nurture your body, especially when you’re exercising and moving constantly. Your body needs fuel to stay healthy and strong. Nothing can substitute for a balanced diet." Karlie has even utilised her healthy habits for the greater good! Kloss recently designed dairy and gluten-free cookies for Momofuku Milk Bar. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of these cookies is donated to hunger relief. 

Karlie also sets fitness goals for her future and continues to challenge herself. "One fitness and life goal I’ve yet to accomplish is running a marathon. It’s on my bucket list. It is such an amazing accomplishment for the body and mind. You need incredible determination!" 

Looking for a type of exercise that will strengthen and tone your stomach, sides, legs and arms? Want to make exercise and healthy eating a permanent part of your life, like Karlie? Call Premium Pilates Studio today on 0402 680 724 or visit us online at premiumpilatesstudio.com.

GISELE BUNDCHEN talks about PILATES, HEALTHY LIVING & the WORLD CUP

Just last week Supermodel Gisele Bundchen landed herself yet another magazine cover. The native Brazilian graced the cover of the July issue of Elle Canada magazine and was happy to talk all things exercise, diet and of course, the Soccer World Cup. 

Bundchen is very excited to watch the 2014 World Cup being played in her homeland. "We're going to win!", the stunning mum says. Gisele believes that all the soccer fanatics travelling to Brazil for the matches will see how passionate and proud the Brazilians are about this sport. "There's something magical about it (soccer & the Brazilian spirit). There is viva, there is joy. There is warmth, a sense of welcome...Soccer supporters will come from different parts of the world, and they will experience that side of Brazilian life, all that beauty and energy....Soccer has always been a huge part of the culture of Brazil. People here are all geared up (for the World Cup)!"

The former Victoria Secret model reveals that she will definitely be attending as many matches as possible and that she would secretly like to score a goal herself! Gisele played a lot of sports whilst growing up and still loves to work out. “I’ve been athletic since I was little. I was the captain of my volleyball team. I used to jog—even almost naked in winter!" 

As Gisele is the highest-paid supermodel in the world, she works hard to maintain a very fit and toned body. Bundchen reveals that her trick is to always keep moving and to consume healthy and organic food. The 33 year-old regards her body as a temple and takes very good care of it. "I enjoy moving. I ride horses, surf, and play beach tennis. I play wherever I am. Kung fu, boxing, yoga, and Pilates. It makes me feel alive. If I don’t move my body, I don’t feel good.” Bundchen does Pilates three times a week and the toning results she has achieved from this workout have assisted her in earning approximately $38 million each year. 

The mother-of-two rarely eats meat, as she does not like consuming food that has been injected with antibiotics. Gisele raises her own chickens in her home and plants fruit and vegetables with her family of four. 

Want to tone up your thighs and stomach like Gisele? Keen to adopt a healthier way of living and want to incorporate Pilates into this lifestyle? Call Premium Pilates Studio on 0402 680 724 or visit us online at premiumpilatesstudio.com.

ALESSANDRA AMBROSIO'S TONED PINK PILATES THIGHS

Yet another Victoria Secret model loving Pilates! Stunning model Alessandra Ambrosio was spotted just last week getting sweaty in a gruelling Pilates reformer class in LA. The makeup free mother-of-two donned hot pink leggings for the workout which looked amazing on her lean, muscly legs. Whilst her Pilates class was very full, Ambrosio stayed focused and worked hard, showing off some very impressive core strength! 

The 32-year-old famous model knows she has to work hard to maintain her sculpted body. Just a week ago Alessandra sat down with her fellow angel Behati Prinsloo to dish on her life as a Victoria Secret model. Both ladies explained that it is not all glitz & glamour and that they have to workout a lot to fit into their costumes! Ambrosio reminisced about having to be very fit when she walked down the runaway four months pregnant with her first child in 2011. Alessandra had to wear the heaviest wings ever worn in a VS show - 27 kilograms of jewels! The next year (2012) the young mum returned to the catwalk a mere three months after giving birth and had to wear the 20-carat Fantasy bra for the VS show. "My preparation for this feat was intense...You work out as an athlete. All your mind, all your everything goes into it....but what better motivation to get into shape than to be wearing a ($2.5) million dollar bra?!" 

Alessandra insists that she workouts all year round, not just when she has a big show coming up. The toned model maintains a strict exercise regime and eats very healthily. She loves to stay fit by going to her Pilates classes, frequenting the gym and by jumping on trampolines whenever she gets the chance! (see photo above). 

It appears that nothing can stop this fit model & mum, as she recently launched her very own casual clothing line on top of all her other projects. Keep an eye out for her bohemian designs that will be stocked exclusively at Planet Blue. 

We hate to burst your bubble but you may not ever look exactly like Alessandra, but you can tone, trim and firm up at Premium Pilates Studio!! Call us today on 0402 680 724 or visit our website at premiumpilatesstudio.com.

ROSIE HUNTINGTON-WHITELEY HANGS UPSIDE DOWN at PILATES

English model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is very disciplined when it comes to maintaining her supermodel body and loves nothing more than a gruelling Pilates workout. The stunning Victoria Secret model was more than happy to put her recent Pilates workout on the Cadillac machine (pictured above) on social media for all to see! 

The 27 year-old looked picture perfect even when she was hanging upside down on the apparatus - which actually is much tougher on the core, arms and legs than it looks! The world famous model loves to attend Ballet Bodies fitness studio in LA to get her Pilates on and was spotted there just last Thursday night. 

Rosie captioned the above photos on her twitter account with 'Stretching out @balletbodies today'...thankyou @balletbodies for keeping me strong!' The super toned model is well aware that her sculptured abs and lean, slender limbs would not look as trim as they currently do without her regular Pilates class. 

What we love about Rosie is that she is destroying the all-too-common generalisation that slim models do not workout and are not strong. When Rosie isn't attending a ballet-inspired Pilates class at her favourite studio, she attends tough morning workouts at the Tracy Anderson Gym in LA to keep her trim body in shape for the runway and for the big screen. 

Huntington-Whiteley also loves to attend yoga classes as well as hike, run and workout with her PT James Duigan. Rosie has included a fish oil supplement into her diet to assist in burning fat around the stomach and decreasing inflammation, thanks to Duigan's advice. Duigan speaks out about another of Rosie's healthy eating secrets; 'Rosie makes a mean guacamole, which is a filling and nutrient-dense snack...about half an avocado a day is the perfect way to include fat-fighting food in your diet.'

Rosie knows that staying fit and healthy involves a holistic approach. 'It’s so simple to get into shape, have more energy and glowing skin by eating the right food. James has taught me that looking your best comes from having good health. Health reflects in your skin, body and hair and gives you a natural glow.'

Unfortunately Premium Pilates Studio does not possess a Cadillac machine, so we cannot hang upside down like Rosie! We do have some fierce looking reformer machines in our studio, as well as regular matwork classes. Call us today on 0402 680 724 or visit us online at premiumpilatesstudio.com.
