b'How does Pilates help you in your everydaylife? And your professional life as a stand-up comedian?Pilates makes me feel long, it makes me feel strong and I can feel those results when I effortlessly pick up both of my children and my dog. I looked the best I had in my whole life at 40 after about a year of consistent Pilates and so, when I had my son, Ethan, in February, I couldn\'t wait to get back to it since I knew what my body was capable of. And while Pilates isn\'t pure cardio, I definitely feel strong schlepping my bags or running through an airport. "Need help with your bag, ma\'am?" I say NO THANK YOU! And I launch it across the plane with my pinky.How do you maintain your Pilates practice on the go when touring? I like doing Pilates on the road, finding a class, because I feel like I\'m part of a club. It\'s great to know I can find a workout almost anywhere and get what I need out of it. I keep a pair of grip socks in my bag at all times just in case the studio I pick requires them. So if I have a day off in a city, I will always find a class and sometimes my team will come with me. I do it so much I even have preferred studios in a few cities. Shout out to Amy at Uncommon Lotus in Las Vegas, she always gives me and my team a restorative workout and she is always so sweet to my dog Tian Fu.Anything else you would like to share about your Pilates practice and the benefits you see and feel?If I\'m not hunched over my phone, it\'s over a laptop. If I\'m not curled up on a plane, it\'s in a car. And when I\'m not doing those things, I\'m running around a stage, so I just appreciate that I\'ve found a workout that combats all that bad posture, that makes me feel strong and long found a workout, it\'s as germane to my everyday asand that I actually enjoy doing. My trainer Alisha Mullaly brushing my teeth (if I only brushed my teeth 3-5 timeshas taught me the correct way to do all the moves I a week and didn\'t do it when I was feeling lazy). I havehad been casually doing wrong my whole life and I love no problem building muscle, but what I was lackingknowing I can go into a class anywhere in the world was length and tone. I think what I loved about Pilates(because you know I found classes when I was on tour in was it was hard but I felt incredible at the end and IEurope!) and knowing I can move with confidence. started to see the results in a way that I guess I never really saw with my workouts before because I didn\'t have a consistent routine and, let\'s be honest, I guess I wasn\'t burning that many calories doing the elliptical for 20 minutes every other day.
