Vanessa Hudgens is getting a Pilates session in at the Alo Studio – and showing off her baby bump. In a new social media post the actress flaunts her belly in a crop top and leggings post-workout. “Lil Pilates + Laura Quinn = Win win,” she captioned the Instagram Stories image. Vanessa is a longtime Pilates devotee. Here is everything you need to know about her Pilates workouts.

1. Vanessa Is an Athlete

Nonna Gleyzer, one of the High School Musical star’s Pilates trainers, recently told us that “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,” she says. “She is very active and does different workouts all the time. She just loves to move her body.”

2. Leg Day Workout

“We usually start with the foot workout on the reformer and training the legs in every dimension possible,” says Gleyzer about Vanessa’s leg day workouts. “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.”

3. Ab Day Workout

On ab day, Vanessa does “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.

4. Upper Body Workout Day

Vanessa’s upper body workouts are done 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.

5. Vanessa “Knows Her Body Well”

Overall, Gleyzer maintains Vanessa is a great client to train. “Working with Vanessa is incredible and so easy as she knows her body so well and loves to see results,” she says.

6. She Does 3 to 4 Pilates Sessions Per Week

Vanessa trains with Nonna at her Body By Nonna studio three to four 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. During the sessions they work the whole body, but also focus on a single group of muscles.

The season may be changing, but Vanessa Hudgens is still developing all of her fun summer photos. The 32-year-old actress shared a few snaps on social media on Wednesday, flaunting her incredibly fit body in a leopard print bikini during a pool day with pals. “Well I’m in full fall mode BUT just got some film developed and these are too good not to post. So, here we are,” the former Disney star captioned one of the sultry snaps. Vanessa is clearly in stellar shape, thanks to her devotion to health and fitness.

Accountability is key for Vanessa, who enjoys working out with others instead of alone. "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." Singer GG Magree is one of her go-to workout buddies, often tagged in her photos and videos.

3. She Works Out in the AM

Vanessa works out almost every day, first thing in the morning. “I would do seven days if I had time,” she explained to 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.”

4. She Schedules Exercise

Vanessa plans ahead when it comes to exercise. “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. If I don’t do it first thing in the morning it normally does not happen,” she told Parade.

5. She Switches Up Her Workouts

Variety is key when it comes to Vanessa’s workouts. “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. A few of her favorites in addition to strength training include pilates, Soul Cycle, and hot yoga.

2. She Does Two-a-Days

Vanessa occasionally packs two workouts into a day“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 exclaimed. “I always feel so accomplished when I double up,” she told Parade.

Vanessa Hudgens has been steaming up social media this summer, sharing photos of her super fit bikini body—and she's now doing it for Halloween.

1. Sumo Squats with Kettlebell

Vanessa started off her mini workout video, which was first shared by her trainer in May, by perfectly executing sumo squats with a kettlebell. The compound exercise is incredibly effective, forcing a variety of muscles -- including glutes, quadriceps, calves -- to workout together. Clearly she was having some fun with her fitness routine, as she playfully stuck out her tongue for the camera.

2. Side Squat with Resistance Band and Medicine Ball

In another compound exercise, Hudgens held a medicine ball while she executed a slide squat, a move made extra hard with the addition of a resistance band around her ankles.

3. Reverse Lunge to High Knee with Dumbbells

Next up, a reverse lunge to high knee with dumbbells. Another compound move, this exercise works everything to the legs and butt to abs.

4. Vanessa Also Does a Bunch of Other Workouts

In addition to weight and strength training, Vanessa stays in shape with lots of other workouts. Pilates, Soul Cycle, hot yoga, and strength training are a few of her favorite workouts—and sometimes she even does multiple workouts a day. “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. I’ve been going to this Pilates studio called WundaBar for years and it’s just a great deep muscle-training workout. It’s not super high intensity but I always feel it the next day.”

5. She Works Out Daily

One of the key ways Vanessa stays in sensational shape is by working out daily. “I would do seven days if I had time,” she told Parade about her workouts. She tries to get her workouts in as soon after waking up as possible. “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.”
