“My body builds muscle very quickly and I don’t love the way it looks on my body. So I find the way that I achieve the body that I want for myself is to lengthen, to lean and to tone,” she told Parade. This is why she mixes in Pilates, Soul Cycle, and hot yoga into her strength and weight training regiment.

3. Some Days She Doubles Up

Vanessa often does two workouts in a day. However, she won’t do the same workout both times. “Some days when I have the time, I love doing Pilates first and then going over to Soul Cycle. I love a double up!” she told Parade. “I always feel so accomplished when I double up.”

4. She’s Into the (Workout) Buddy System

Vanessa is all about the buddy system when it comes to exercise. "I'm the type of person that needs to be in a class," Vanessa told PopSugar. "I need someone telling me what to do, and I love being in a group environment because I'm very competitive, so it pushes me to work harder than I would if I was by myself." She often shares videos of herself exercising will pals, and always looks like she is having a blast.

5. She Is a Morning (Workout) Person

Vanessa is all about daily workouts, first thing in the morning. “I would do seven days if I had time,” she told Parade. “I love starting my day off that way because sometimes I’ll have a less productive days and if I’ve gotten a workout in, then I feel like I’m accomplished no matter what.”

6. She Plans Ahead

Instead of waiting until the last minute, Vanessa commits to working out ahead of time. “I normally sign up for a class the night before so I don’t even have time to think about it and just wake up to having to go to workout,” she told Parade. “If I don’t do it first thing in the morning it normally does not happen.”

"I work out on an empty stomach usually," she revealed to Parade. "I kind of to go between intermittent fasting and Keto and so it's normally just black coffee and a lot of water first thing in the AM." "If you exercise in the morning, get up early enough to finish breakfast at least one hour before your workout. Be well-fueled going into a workout. Studies suggest eating or drinking carbohydrates before exercise can improve workout performance and may allow you to work out for a longer duration or higher intensity. If you don't eat, you might feel sluggish or lightheaded when you exercise," says the Mayo Clinic.

Vanessa Hudgens is showing off her impressive Pilates moves – on a reformer. In a recent social media post shared by the High School Musical star’s Pilates trainer, Nonna Gleyzer, the actress shows off her gorgeously sculpted body in a catsuit while executing a difficult move. “Behind every great woman, there is another great woman. That’s what I’m going to say about one and only @vanessahudgens that’s is doing the most amazing job performing Russian Spilt on Pilates Reformer. 👊my beautiful friend!!!” Gleyzer captioned the post. The trainer-to-the-stars (Gisele and Kelly Rowland are two of her other famous clients) dished on Vanessa’s Pilates practice to Celebwell. Here is everything you need to know about it.

1. Vanessa Is Trained Like a Dancer and Athlete

“It’s extremely easy to work with Vanessa, because she is by far one of the most coordinated, focused, and very in tune with her body people. She is also very flexible and has amazing control. It’s like working with a dancer and an athlete at the same time,” Gleyzer tells us. “She is very active and does different workouts all the time. She just loves to move her body.”

2. 3 to 4 Pilates Sessions Per Week

In addition to weight training, Vanessa visits the Body By Nonna studio multiple times a week. “When it comes to pilates and when we work together, we see each other 3 to 4 times per week,” she reveals. Her main focus during the sessions is the whole body workout, but each session aims to target a single group of muscles.

3. Leg Workouts

“We usually start with the foot workout on the reformer and training the legs in every dimension possible,” says Gleyzer. “The thighs contain several muscles. The quadriceps and hamstrings help us bend and extend the hips and knees. The adductors move the legs inward toward each other. The pectineus and sartorius let you flex and rotate the thighs at the hip.”

4. Ab Workouts

“We also do lots of abs with the pilates ball as well as side ups on the Pilates spine corrector. This allows her to get deeper into the muscles while protecting the back,” she says.

5. Upper Body Workouts

Their upper body workouts are done mostly on the Pilates Cadillac, “where we use the roll-down bar to arm and do lots of moves that involve stretching and control,” she says. This includes the The Russian Split that Hudgens demonstrates in Gleyzer’s video.

6. Vanessa “Knows Her Body Well”

“Working with Vanessa is incredible and so easy as she knows her body so well and loves to see results,” concludes Gleyzer.
