Belinda Carlisle, Lorraine Kelly, Joan Collins and Lucy Lawless

Belinda Carlisle
'I do Pilates four or five times a week. The benefits are subtle, but
it increases your flexibility and really tones you up. It also
straightens your spine and improves your posture. In the past eight
years, I've grown more than two and a half inches (6cm). I am 5ft 7ins
(1.70m) and I am very pleased with that.'
Belinda Carlisle, singer and pop icon
Lorraine Kelly
'I have done every diet in the book over the years. What made the big
difference was the exercise. Now I do a lot of walking, Pilates and
some running and swimming.'
Lorraine Kelly, breakfast TV presenter
Joan Collins
'What do I like most about Pilates? 'The fact that I can really feel
my body working. I might do 250 crunches but my body is so used to
them that I don't really feel them. With Pilates, I can really feel
[my abdominals] even if I only do six or 12 repetitions.'
Joan Collins, actress and writer, who first started doing Pilates over 20 years ago
Lucy Lawless
'I don't like to waste time. I want to spend it doing the best
possible thing for me. Pilates has given me the greatest returns. It
sucks your butt up, tones the legs and shoulders. Nothing else gives
you definition like it.'
Lucy Lawless, best-known for portraying Xena, Warrior Princess fame

Susan Dey

?I always leave the studio feeling energized, not tired; centered, not
scattered. And taller," says actress Susan Dey, who works out at a
Beverly Hills Pilates studio that is also frequented by such stars as
Adam Arkin, Stockard Channing and Gina Gershon. Who wouldn't like an
exercise program in which much of the conditioning takes place on a
sliding bed-like machine, known as the "Universal Reformer"?
