Lauren Sanchez is into Pilates

Lauren's diet and fitness routine combine healthy eating and regular exercise. Her diet focuses on whole foods, with avocados and egg whites as breakfast. She also swears by Pilates, which focuses on core strength, flexibility, and body control.

She had told Self, “Pilates changed my body. I used to run marathons and I was never as fit and toned as I am now. I do it at a studio run by Saul Choza and I'm indebted to him forever because my ass has lifted. We do a mix of mat and reformer.”

Is Pilates a good workout? According to Mayo Clinic, it has many benefits, as it 'strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility, resulting in improved overall health.'
