Pilates

If you want to be a Roitfeld, then you need to have the body to fit the clothes. Although Carine attributes her perfect figure to the fact that she has been blessed with a meager appetite, she also begins her day with Pilates at 8 a.m. every morning. If you have never tried it, you may be surprised at how fast even a few minutes of Pilates practiced regularly will reshape your form.

Combining moves from aerobics and yoga, Pilates focuses on strengthening the core of the body, lengthening and toning rather than adding bulk as some workouts tend to do. I love Pilates but have limited time to work out; the great news is that practicing even ten to twenty minutes every other day can prove beneficial. If, like me, you don't have time or money to allot to the gym, pick up a copy of the new DVD Exhale: Core Fusion Pilates Plus. Each of the routines is only ten minutes long but I promise you will feel the burn and see results. Surely you have ten minutes a day to invest in a slim and fit physique. There are also free Pilates videos available via YouTube.
