7 Gold · 2 Silver · 2 Bronze – that is Simone Biles’ Olympic record and yet there is one thing that she fears. “I think it’s everywhere because I cannot do it to save my life”; “I was shaking, and when the teacher wasn’t looking, I was cheating.”; “I will not be doing that again,” – these are some of the words that Simone Biles has for the one exercise, that one fitness skill that she absolutely hates. But now her husband, Jonathan Owens, is into it!
Jonathan Owens was seen showcasing his Pilates skill – the one thing Simone Biles absolutely hates. The NFL player donned black shorts and white T shit, doing pilates on a brownish, red cushioned Pilates Wunda Chair. He was being trained by his instructor, whom he tagged as “@superiorpilates” on his Instagram story. The NFL safety was following her instructions carefully.
All this was with two legs, now he moved to one leg. With one leg on top of the chair and the other still on the pedal. He held both of his hands behind his head, and then again he lept going up and down on, pressuring the pedal. It got even harder when he had to use his hands now. He sat on the chair with his back towards the pedals, and now both of his hands went backward for the pedal while his legs stayed in the air.

Now, if you think this is hard, wait till you find the one that hurt Owens. The next thing we saw in the story is that he was on a Trapeze Table. He was holding onto the bars while his legs were stretching the band. If stretching the legs wasn’t enough, he had to move it around as well, and the pain was quite visible on the face of Simone Biles’ husband. To make it even harder, he now had to lift his entire body, staying only on his shoulders while moving it as well.

Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens love doing Pilates
It is really great when you are an athlete and so is your husband. I mean, it has its perks. For Simone Biles, her husband Owens is very supportive of her workout sessions. The couple when the GOAT of gymnastics is not on gymnastics workouts, does take a tour around the world of exercises.
In an interview with Bustle, Simone Biles was asked to choose between yoga and Pilates. She said, “I’ve tried Pilates about three times with my husband because he swears by it, but he also has a little bit more time to do it in the off-season than I do. We did intense Pilates, which was very difficult, but I did enjoy it.”
