Victoria Beckham Wants To Get In Shape With Pilates

Wed 8.29.07

Victoria Beckham
Posh is apparently looking to get in shape using Pilates. While I love Pilates and think she (and anyone) can benefit immensely from practicing, I think she definitely misunderstands what it’s like to learn Pilates. Ms. Beckham explains:

““I really don’t like the gym, in fact I can’t stand it. Maybe it’s the whole getting sweaty thing, but it’s just not me. I tried cycling in Spain but maybe my bum’s too small as it just wasn’t comfortable. I want to get fit, though, so I’m exploring some different options. I like what I’ve heard about Pilates - just sitting in a room, stretching and breathing. Sounds much more civilized.”

Well, I’ve got news for you hunny…Pilates is not about sitting in a room, stretching and breathing! If performed correctly, a Pilates class or private will have you sweating all over and sore in places you didn’t even know existed. Especially if your working on the Reformer or other pieces of equipment. Yes, Pilates does involve stretching and breathing, but doesn’t lack the strength training and sweat factor. I think Posh needs to reconsider here “get in shape” attitude. You have to sweat to get in shape!

Plus does Posh really need to workout more? She is already way too thin!

Haha….Ya the outfits are definitely questionable!

Ok you guys are obviously just jealous because don’t look like her!
Her body shape is perfect for her size, look how many girls in the world admire her body.
I don’t know any guys that don’t think she’s hot as hell, unless they’re GAY!
So quit complaining about her. She’s doing better than you are

She is ridiculous it is for sure.
I don’t know anybody who admires her beside silly teenagers girls.
I would not want to stay close to her That is about being jealous. I prefer more natural womens not spotlight looking doll with goofy mask on her face.

She is looking great! Even if she had a little more weight also. All the complaints and negative comments are from women who couldn’t pull the look off or guys who could even dream up a woman like that…

she doesn’t need to get in shape - she needs to stop faffing around and eat and act normal for a bit..Infact I can’t believe I am actually wasting my time commenting on such as silly ‘celebrity’…

She looks great, and has the coolest outfits. Definitely a style of her own. But there are those people who aren’t daring enough or who can’t get away with wearing what she does, so they bash her instead.

Okay I’m a fashion design major, and I happen to love Victoria’s style. Yes she’s slender, but she also isn’t tall either, just under 5′5 from the research I’ve done. Statistically, the healthy weight for a woman that is 5′4-5′5 is 110 to 135 pounds. Yes her attire can be outrageous, scanty to some, and provocative, but hell! When you have a body like that YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO WEAR WHAT YOU DESIRE. I’m just short of 5′7 and I weigh about 115 pounds, you may think I’m “too thin” but I do have fat on my body. So before you go on criticizing a woman I’m quite positive you haven’t met or held a conversation with, do your research. You have to eat healthy and work out to stay thin, so ofcourse she wants to do Pilates or something along the lines to keep her cute frame. You have to BURN CALORIES TO STAY IN SHAPE. Just because you’re ignorant and conservative doesn’t make it okay for you to belittle someone else’s unique style. Thank you [:

Wow… I think everyone is a little too obsessed with celebrities. Victoria is beautiful and looks amazing in her clothes. Yes she is proportionate, but you’ve got to be kidding me if you think she’s a healthy thin. She barely gained a pound during pregnancy for god’s sake. But, besides that, my only point, as a Pilates instructor, was that she has the wrong idea about Pilates as a work out. So chill!!
