MARISSA MILLER'S HUSBAND LOVES her NEW PILATES BODY

We have blogged about model Marissa Miller's amazing pregnancy body in the past, which she credited to regular Pilates and healthy eating. Since giving birth to her first child Gavin in December 2012, the stunning retired Victoria Secret model has remained as fit and toned as ever. 

Marissa admitted just last week that her husband Griffin Guess actually preferred her pregnancy body to her body before Gavin's birth. As a result Miller has taken a more relaxed approach to her famous body and is looking better than ever (see the top photo). 

The blonde beauty reveals to People magazine; "My husband kept telling me that I looked better with the weight! I used to do a ton of cardio, but the last couple years I've focused on just doing Pilates and work on toning. It's really difficult to work out like I used with a baby, but I make the most of the time when I do. On a good week, that would be three or four days a week (doing Pilates' classes)."

The Sports Illustrated beauty started to really love and take care of her body when she found out she was pregnant in early 2012. 

"It was really important to me during pregnancy not to stress about weight gain. I ate healthy and worked out, so whatever my body wanted to put on was what the baby needed."

We, like Marissa's admiring hubby, think that her new Pilates body looks amazing! Want to tone up post pregnancy? Or do you feel that your current exercise regime is not working for you? Call Premium Pilates Studio today on 0402 680 724 or visit us online at premiumpilatesstudio.com.

JULIA ROBERTS KEEPS HER FIGURE with PILATES & HOME-COOKED MEALS

Julia Roberts has packed a lot in her 46 years. She is one of the most famous and most stunning actresses out there as well as being a devoted mother. Not to mention that Roberts has one of the best bodies in Hollywood! 

The humble actress says that she keeps her figure trim by focusing on making healthy, home-cooked meals every night for her two children and her husband, Danny Moder. Julia told People magazine that her family really value this time eating together and that there is no yelling or fighting, unlike the majority of her movie dialogues! 

"Our conversations are so much happier than that," Julia comments. "I ask, 'How's school? Who has homework?' It's easy."

Julia was recently interviewed by women's magazine Marie Claire, where she again made a point of explaining how much she loves her time in the kitchen. 

"It's my privilege and honour to cook three meals a day for my family, and it's a luxury on a level that I didn't even realise because it can be relentless for me on some days. You have pride in how you take care of your family," Roberts remarks. 

Understandably, eating meals with families also benefits children as the U.S News & World  Report revealed recently. Children who consume dinner and/or other meals with their families are slimmer than children who do not partake in this. In addition, these children that eat home-cooked meals regularly at the dinner table are also less likely to develop eating disorders in later life and are 24 percent more likely to continue to eat healthy foods than children who only occasionally eat with their families. 

According to Well Being Journal, Julia loves to work her body with Pilates and credits this exercise to helping her to shed her pregnancy pounds years ago. Julia also enjoys doing Yoga, run and working out with a personal trainer.

OLIVIA WILDE'S GROWING BABY BUMP AT PILATES

Rush actress Olivia Wilde was spotted leaving a Pilates class last Friday in Los Angeles sporting a very small baby bump! Even though Wilde and her fiancé Jason Sudeikis are yet to officially confirm that they are expecting, Hollywood is impatiently anticipating their gorgeous baby's arrival! The stunning actress was snapped in Reebok stretch pants and a grey workout shirt that revealed a tiny baby belly on Friday morning.  Wilde has actually been spotted on a few other occasions over the last few weeks attending Pilates classes. It is clear that she wants to keep fit and healthy as she prepares for her baby's birth. 

Health and fitness has always been paramount to Wilde. She tries to be active every day, wherever this involves walking her dog, hiking or riding her bike on the beach. Olivia tries to mix up her exercise so she stays motivated. "I make fun of it (exercise), but it's amazing, because you have to push yourself through this resistance, which is so therapeutic," the fit actress says. Wilde has also recently taken up paddleboarding along with her regular Pilates classes. 

The 29-year-old actress has a few fundamental health tips: "Drink water, sleep eight hours (I wish), and don't go within 400 feet of a tanning booth, or I'll slap you. Hard." Wilde is also a very clean eater. She is a longtime vegetarian and made the choice to become a vegan five years ago. "My veganism is at times consistent, other times less so...but I love how it makes me feel. [Being vegan] is not always easy and accessible, but it's a way of life and makes me as a person feel really good and physically look better. My skin was better, my energy was better."

The recently engaged actress is very excited about her future family plans with fiancé Jason Sudeikis. Oliva told magazine Marie Claire that "we've (Jason & her) have discussed all our ideals and hopes. I can't wait for children. I'm open-minded about how many, but three (children), which I love, is like a little party. "

Wilde also gushed about Sudeikis's fatherly skills in the interview;  "[Jason's] so good with kids...I've never before experienced looking at someone and thinking, 'That's who I want to raise a child with.'" 

We wish this lovely couple all the best with the birth of their first child!

KATE HUDSON MAKES A PILATES WORKOUT DVD!

Stunning actress Kate Hudson was spotted just last Friday filming her very first Pilates workout dvd!! Hudson turned heads as she displayed her rock-hard abs in a black sports bra and figure-hugging leggings (photos above) in Santa Barbara, California. The 34-year-old brought along her gorgeous two-year-old son Bingham and her fiancé Matt Bellamy to the beach for the film shoot. By the looks of Kate's super toned tummy and slender legs, Pilates clearly pays off!

Kate is one celebrity that is totally committed to practising what she preaches. Some may question if an actress could/should film a workout dvd, however Hudson is a long time hardcore devotee of Pilates. The mother-of-two has been fine-tuning her core strength with her personal trainer and Pilates instructor, Nicole Stuart, for 15 years! Kate definitely has the knowledge and exercise required to make such a dvd and judging by her fantastically fit body, we are sure it will be a best seller. 

The bubbly actress performed a number of technique-perfect Pilates poses in the sand before taking a rest to cuddle her little son. Despite having a baby just two years ago, the Glee guest star's body is looking better than ever due to her dedication to her exercise regime. Kate's personal trainer, Nicole, informs that Miss Hudson works hard to maintain her enviable physique. "We do Pilates for one hour, three days a week but if she (Kate) is prepping for something it will be more (sessions). We always combine cardio - like a mile run - before a Pilates class. On off days (from Pilates) she'll meet me for yoga or a spin class". 

Kate reveals that she and Nicole have become best friends over the years and only has the greatest things to say about her trainer of a decade and a half. "She's an incredibly person and she really challenges me as a trainer because she's such a great athlete. We both give each other a run for our money. She's always been amazing when it comes to her workouts". 

We can't wait to see Kate's take on Pilates and watch her go through her favourite core strengthening and toning exercises in her fitness video. We are sure that the actress will provide some much needed inspiration to everyone who is considering getting into Pilates! It will be excellent to see Hudson become a health & fitness guru and this workout video is sure to point her in that direction. Keep your eyes peeled online and in stores for her dvd!

JAIME KING GETS HER PILATES ON WITH HER GROWING BUBBA

Exercise addict, actress and model Jaime King is not letting an expanding baby bump get in her way of doing Pilates. The 34-year-old was spotted on not one, but two occasions in the past week leaving her Pilates class in LA (see photos above). 

Jaime's beautiful pregnant belly was on display as she wore figure-hugging exercise clothes to her class. The slim actress shows no sign of ceasing her fitness routine as her first baby grows. A self confessed gym addict, Ms King has thrown herself into her Pilates classes, as this low impact form of exercise is both safe and challenging for pregnant women. Pilates focuses on strengthening the pelvic floor and transverses abdominus, two muscles that are very important throughout pregnancy, during childbirth and postnatally. 

The soon to be mother is clearly loving her new exercise of choice. After her Pilates class Jaime couldn't wait to get on twitter and rave about her class. 'Best Pilates session!'

The quirky model revealed that she was expecting via Twitter in early July by posting a photo of her, her husband, filmmaker Kylie Newman, and her two dogs with the caption 'getting ready for another baby to be squeezed into this picture'. Jaime also chose the same social media outlet to share her future baby's name...'The Untitled Newman-King Project'. Definitely the most original name we have ever heard!
