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.

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!

HILARY DUFF LEAVES A PILATES CLASS IN STYLE

Hilary Duff has been spotted leaving a Pilates class almost daily for the past few months - and her hard work and dedication is paying off! After being subjected to much Hollywood flack by announcing that she was going to lose her baby weight healthily and gradually, it is clear from recent photos that Hilary will have the last laugh. Hilary was spotted on Tuesday leaving a Pilates class rocking some very stylish skinny jeans and Christian Louboutin heels (see first picture above). Photos of the new mother displayed that Hilary is winning her post baby weight struggle, as she looked slim, toned and happy. 

Hilary has always spoken very highly of Pilates, her long-term exercise regime. Miss Duff revealed in a recent interview that she has not taken the easy route in losing her post baby weight. "There are some women who look the same right after (pregnancy); I think they are freaks of nature! I don't know how that happens. I'm not one of those people. It takes your body nine months to get there, really ten months. So I'm trying to be patient but I'm working hard. And I think now more than ever, I appreciate my body and what it's done for me."

Hilary's frequent Pilates has definitely paid off, as she is comfortably keeping off the post-baby pounds in addition to shedding a few kilos and toning up in the process! Miss Duff is often found gushing about how her much-loved exercise regime has altered her body. “Seriously, my body changed in three weeks. I’ve always been really muscular; that’s why pilates is good for me. I have broad shoulders and if I do weights or something I’ll bulk up and feel manly, but Pilates  lengthens me out. Also you feel really powerful.”

We think that Hilary is an inspiration for all women struggling with their post-baby weight! Hopefully Miss Duff will not be the first and last celebrity to lose her baby weight healthily, safely and gradually.
