The next time you are on the Pilates reformer<\/a> struggling through a particularly heavy arm series, just think to yourself, What would Ed Sheeran<\/a> do? The answer to that question, I learned today, is that he would push through it in order to achieve a new, jacked physique. Sheeran was on the cover of Men\u2019s Health<\/a> on Friday to announce to the world that he is newly swole and all the steps he took to get there. \u201cI kept joking that I was gonna do a Men\u2019s Health cover, then one day was just like \u2018why not,\u2019\u201d the singer wrote on Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The result is a lengthy profile about Sheeran\u2019s fitness journey, which includes weight lifting, running, and the aforementioned reformer Pilates<\/a>. Sheeran became a dad in 2020, which apparently prompted him to change his \u201cbeer-guzzling, kebab-munching smoker\u201d ways.<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember Lyra was two weeks old and I had my best mate round and we had a bottle of wine. I went to bed, then Lyra woke up 20 minutes after I\u2019d fallen asleep,\u201d Sheeran told the magazine. \u201cI woke up and I was like, \u2018Fuck, I probably shouldn\u2019t drink if I\u2019m going to feel this dreadful,\u2019 I want to be able to do the night stuff. It all came in at the same time of wanting to be a responsible dad, wanting to feel and look good.\u201d<\/p>\n

Not to be a perv, but he does look good. Whether or not Sheeran is hot is not for me to litigate, but he is, at the very least, undeniably shredded. He credited much of that to the reformer, which he said is his preferred method of exercise while touring. \u201cAfter the show last night, the last thing I want to do today is bench press and deadlift,\u201d he explained. \u201cSo this is a really gentle way to still have the same level of exercise and feel like I\u2019ve burnt calories, but I\u2019ve also stretched.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shout-out to Sheeran, who really understands\u00a0the appeal of classical Pilates. Clearly, it\u2019s working out really well for him.<\/p>\n
