A Day in the Life of Hilary Curwen

Pilates and Spin Instructor (Venice Beach and Brentwood Studios)

What are your favorite Pilates moves?

I love core work, Plank Wheel barrel  Catfish..etc (anything on the back)

I also love exercises that are supine on the carriage.. lower abdominals

are my jam! .

What is one of your favorite non-Pilates workouts?

I am a workout machine. I love hot yoga a few times a week; Corepower &

Modo.  Barry's Bootcamp is fabulous once a week to get kicked in the butt,

and of course running.

What’s your exercise routine like for a typical *week

Monday: afternoon yoga & maybe spin class at night

Tuesday: Pilates with jaime, then I teach  30 min spin after..

Wednesday: Classical Pilates in Hollywood or Barry's in Weho.

Thursday: I teach 45 min spin in the a.m, then do Pilates

Friday: Corepower yoga

Saturday: Pilates with Debi & I teach 30 min spin

Sunday: REST

What are some of your favorite healthy foods? 

*I love love love mushrooms. Raw, steamed, **sautéed, love it all.  I eat

veggies with almond cheese a lot lately, and make veggie spring rolls with

rice paper and tofu.  I eat pretty "vegan-like."*

What does your workout and eating schedule for a typical day like?

I wake up around 5:30 or 6 am, and the first thing I do is go to the

kitchen.  I have some coconut water and honestly eat whatever is in the

fridge that day.  Today I had sushi from the night before…   I love

smoothies, so I use coconut meat, protein powder and almond milk for a

creamy drink.  I then work for a few hours then do my workout for the day.

I am definitely a morning person so I like to get everything done early.

I am all over LA, so I find places to workout or bring running shoes and do

that in between appointments.  Always keeping clothes in the car has served

me well.   I eat every few hours and I love anything that has dates or nuts

in it.  Recently I have been making my own 'lara bars' for something sweet

in the afternoon.. I work early afternoons and nights then crash early

around 10pm..
