I kind of put myself out there as is. I’m a quiet person. I don’t know if that’s surprising. I’m a Pilates junkie.
I was an athlete growing up. I did a lot of sports: soccer, basketball, so I was always so used to hardcore training, a lot of running. I got to a point where I felt like I just wanted to get toned; I didn’t need to shed pounds, so now I do Pilates.
I condition with Pilates and yoga; they’re my two favourite things that I do, and they go hand in hand with dancing.
I go to the gym three times a week and do Pilates three times a week, but not for more than an hour. It’s not healthy.
I don’t do detoxes or cleanses – they don’t really work for me. I have a really moderate, simple routine. I like to do yoga, Pilates, dance, and things like that.
I like to get the body temperature up, the heart rate up. I’ll do anywhere from 10 to 25 minutes either on a bike, a rower, a StairMaster, or a combination of the three of those. And then I’ll normally run through a 20- to 30-minute session either on the Pilates reformer, the Cadillac, or the Pilates chair.

I exercise at least five times a week with stretching, Pilates, push-ups, planks, sit- ups, squats and light weights.

When people are getting on me for being at a Ranger game at 7 o’clock at night, they don’t see what I’ve done between yoga, Pilates, workout, thrown, ran, done all my work by 5 o’clock, ate, and then I went to the game. Nobody is seeing that. Nobody is commenting on that.
It’s a big part of me still, as is being athletic – although these days I find myself playing tennis, hiking, and doing yoga and Pilates rather than swinging a bat.

Running and pilates work hand-in-hand together, and to get a good sweat on, boxing is a great choice.

Women I admired growing up – Debra Winger, Diane Keaton, Meryl Streep – were all beautiful and thin, but not too thin. There are a lot of actresses who are unhealthy-skinny – much, much too skinny. You can’t Pilates to that.

I will never do Pilates. I walk.
I’ve really missed my Reformer Pilates sessions during lockdown because I’m someone who likes to workout with a lot of toys!
Pilates is my favorite core strengthener. I do it three or four times a week. With all the strengthening and lengthening, it’s like ballet. Plus, you get to do it lying down!
The ‘All My Children’ studio was near Lincoln Center, and I used to see all the ballerinas and the dancers, and I thought, I don’t want to bulk up; I want to have long, lean, toned muscles. And I found out that through Pilates, you can achieve those strong, lean dancer muscles.

I’ve been doing Pilates since 1974, I lift weights, I power walk every day and I run backwards. That’s sometimes a little hard when you’re not on your home turf, because you’ve got to find a place where there are no bumps in the way – or people.
All the sudden high-impact stress can really take a toll on your body. So if you still want to be active and get in a good workout, go to a yoga class or pilates class, or get in some strength and conditioning.
I work out with Pilates – it’s a great workout for body alignment. I work out every day with once a week break. I mix it with weight training and cardio.

I wish I did something like yoga or Pilates. All the people I know who do it tell me it’s incredible.
