The seven-time Mr. Olympia winner, Phil Heath, has lately been promoting how Pilates truly helps in emphasizing one’s physique. After a handful of bodybuilders hopped onto this trend, many shared information that proved it to be extremely beneficial to one’s fitness. 

On this note, Heath, who despite being 44 has an impressive physique, not only gave a shout-out to Pilates but also to those who hooked him to this type of exercise. The former Mr. Olympia also revealed that he regrets not incorporating it during his competitive days.

Heath shared a video that had several clips of him doing Pilates, where his physique looked impeccable. In the caption of his post, he also reflected on how highly he thinks of this method of fitness and further promoted it by asking fans to do it as well. He stated, “Do Pilates but make it Gangsta. shout out to our friends @pro_pilates for making @shuriecremona and me Pilates addicts for LIFE! My abs have never been better.”

When the co-founder of Fight Camp saw eye to eye with Heath in the comment section writing that Pilates, although devised for boxing, works great for most fitness enthusiasts, Phil Heath could not agree more. He said, “It should be the foundation work for all athletes! I wish I would have done this when I started bodybuilding!“

Phil Heath started his Pilates journey just a few months ago. He previously shared posts expressing his initial feelings about it.

In one of his Instagram stories, the seven-time Mr. Olympia shared a clip from his Pilates center. Back then the bodybuilder expressed that he started his regimen with 3 to 4 days of these exercises a week, confessing how he, ‘happened to get his a** beat.’ Further, on incorporating Pilates with his usual gym schedule, the bodybuilder said,  “I am still in the gym, but I do this twice a day. Doing Pilates”.

Now a champion for this fitness training, Heath stresses how Pilates can be of great advantage if people follow it with discipline. Nevertheless, he also recognizes that if the bodybuilder had attempted it during his competitive years, he could have had better results on the stage. Be that as it may, the only way to find it out may very well lie in trying this out for oneself.
