If you\u2019re one of Brooke Shields\u2019 2.9 million Instagram followers, you\u2019ll know she\u2019s a big fan of Pilates<\/a>. What you may not know is that she follows up her classes with a prescriptive ten minutes of cardio<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Speaking of Pilates, she told Today<\/a>: \u2018That, combined with drinking less, and then doing a cardio of some kind, like a SoulCycle class or a rower<\/a> with music – do 10 minutes. Even just that, I\u2019ll start to see results.\u2019 <\/p>\n

As for what type of \u2018results\u2019 she\u2019s referring to, she said adding those ten short minutes of cardio has helped reduce belly fat<\/a>. \u2018It used to all just be in my butt, and now, that\u2019s lower, and it\u2019s shifted around. It\u2019s moved to the other neighborhoods,\u2019 she laughed.<\/p>\n

Making sure she sticks with the forms of cardio she enjoys has been crucial to her becoming fitter, too. As she turned 59, she told Today, \u2018It\u2019s harder to stay in shape. It\u2019s much easier to get out of shape quickly. That\u2019s been a bit of a shock to my system. The big thing for me is I\u2019m now finding things that I actually really enjoy doing rather than just beating myself up in the gym so that I can fit into something, because it\u2019s so demoralising to me and it\u2019s so frustrating.\u2019 <\/p>\n

When it comes to Pilates, there\u2019s one class she’s a passionate advocate for: the Nofar Method<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\u2018I never liked Pilates before,\u2019 she says, but she loves that the Nofar classes leave her \u2018dripping wet\u2019 with sweat as \u2018it\u2019s so specific\u2019, despite there being \u2018no impact\u2019.<\/p>\n

Shields said she attends low-impact fitness classes, including Nofar, four to five times per week, combining Pilates with \u2018anything that deals with strength and stretching.\u2019 <\/p>\n

\u2018I’ve done a lot of damage to my body. So now, I really put myself in a position to look forward to how I’m going to feel \u2013 not just after, but during,\u2019 she told Women\u2019s Health US<\/a>. Solid advice.<\/p>\n
