Kamala Harris is a Pilates girlie

First she was Brat, now she's a Pilates girlie.

Kamala Harris is embracing Pilates, declaring herself a "Pilates girlie" on a recent podcast. The former vice president credits the low-impact workout for enhancing her overall well-being and empowering her daily life. Harris, 61, joined fellow celebs like Jennifer Aniston, Miley Cyrus, and Hailey Bieber in her enthusiasm for the form of strength and mobility training that emphasizes the brain-body connection.

Originally favored by dancers, models, and celebrities, Pilates has surged in popularity, becoming the most-booked workout on ClassPass globally last year. The longevity boom and Pilates' ability to improve functional strength, posture, and balance are likely contributing to its rise. Harris prefers the reformer method, where exercises are performed on a sliding carriage attached to weighted springs, over traditional mat Pilates.

She rehearses the workout with her husband Doug Emhoff and associates it with a healthy Sunday routine that also includes walks, cooking, and family dinners.
