The secret to that derriere: Pippa Middleton reveals Pilates classes are 'weekly necessity'

 

Ever since Pippa Middleton glided confidently down the aisle of Westminster Abbey holding Catherine's train, the world has been fixated.

More specifically, her toned figure has been one of the hottest Royal Wedding talking points since the event last month.

Now Pippa has revealed that the secret to her great shape is weekly Pilates sessions.

The brunette attends classes at a small studio in Parson's Green near her London apartment.

Miss Middleton claims the exercise has helped improve her core stability and posture - which explains her elongated frame and natural poise on the big day.

The 27-year-old hailed the studio a 'weekly necessity'.

In a testimonial on the fitness centre's website, she wrote: 'As someone who is always ‘on the go’, Pilates has been a wonderful escape from my busy lifestyle in London.

Miss Middleton also reveals that the routines help her relax - a useful tool for calming pre-wedding nerves.

She wrote: 'Whether it’s 7am in the morning or 7pm at night I always leave feeling calm, refreshed and invigorated.

'Over the past few months I have noticed a huge difference in my core strength and posture and couldn’t recommend Margot more highly as an instructor.

'From breathing techniques, muscle toning to overall flexibility and relaxation, my Pilates sessions have become something of a weekly necessity that keeps me fit, happy and energised.'

The party planner, who works for her parents' company Party Pieces, has always been a fan of exercise, gaining a sports scholarship at exclusive boarding school Marlborough College.

While Pilates is a great way to tone it doesn't get the heart rate going so  she teams the classes with regular cardio workouts including swimming, jogging, tennis and skiing.    

AND IF PILATES SOUNDS LIKE TOO MUCH HARD WORK...

British plastic surgeons have reported a 60 per cent rise in bum-lifting procedures since the Royal Wedding.

Women wanting a derriere like 27-year-old Miss Middleton's have been flooding surgeons with requests.

The procedure, which can cost up to £8,500, has even been given a name, 'The Pip Package Perfect Posterior'.

Lesley Khan of London's Harley Street Skin Clinic told the Daily Star: 'We are now seeing scores of female clients seeking the perfect bottom.

'A few years back everyone wanted the Jennifer Lopez look but now everyone asks for a bottom like Pippa's -- curvy but not too peachy.'
