Chocolate Junkie Vanessa Hudgens Keeps Thin with Pilates

Young, beautiful and talented, one might easily be tempted to believe that 20-year-old Vanessa Hudgens is in such great shape by pure chance – and, at the same time, be just as easily excused for believing so. A lover of chocolate and clearly not afraid to be vocal about it, one thing that this actress hates is strict dieting and workout routines, but that’s not to say she does absolutely nothing to stay in shape, as How Celebrities Lose Weight informs.

Vanessa loves chocolate so much, that she eats some whenever she gets a craving, which, come to think of it, is probably something we all did to one extent or another when we were her age. However, age and good genes are not her only allies in the fight against the extra pounds, since Pilates too has proven to be of great help, as also having a healthy and balanced diet. What’s most important, Vanessa has discovered the importance of keeping active and, for the time being, it is enough to keep her so incredibly toned.

Hudgens hits the gyms four to five times a week, where she and a trainer do Pilates and cardio. “My secret to flat abs is Pilates. I like sitting in the front row of cycling class. I feel like everybody behind me is looking forward, and that pushes me to do my best. I look at myself in the mirror and get this really ferocious, angry look on my face like I’m about to kill someone. It’s crazy.” the actress is quoted by HCLW as saying.

Aside from the hour-long session at the gym, repeated up to five times a week, Vanessa is also careful about what she eats. She doesn’t diet, though, because she hates restrictions and, as also noted above, she’s too crazy about chocolate to give it up, yet she tries to eat healthily and in a balanced manner. This means no junk food, no deep-fried food and plenty of veggies and fruit.

Again, given that she’s 20, Vanessa also has the age as her strongest ally at this point and a healthy metabolism that makes it enough for her to work out mildly and keep the pounds off, which is something that no longer applies to the same extent to women, say, past their 30s.
