OK! Magazine claims that Angelina Jolie has been taking time from her busy schedule running around after four kids and nursing two infants to do pilates with the help of a progressive demo-type video game for the Nintendo DS, Let’s Pilates. IGN describes the game in a review as similar to a workout DVD but with some added customization elements where you can build your own workout. It seems to be working for Angelina and she’s doing about an hour workout three times a week:
How does multitasking mom of six Angelina Jolie shed the barely-there baby weight? By using her children’s computer games to work out!
“The kids were convincing her that video games were more than just fun,” according to a source close to Angie. “They explained to her you can do anything from practice math to learn to read music and exercise.”
The source tells OK! that Angie’s eldest son Maddox, 7, was showing his mom — who, along with partner Brad Pitt, also has her hands full with Pax, 4, Zahara, 3, Shiloh, 2, and 4-month-old twins, Knox and Vivienne — the games for their Nintendo DS online when they discovered Let’s Pilates!.
“She tries to get in an hour of Pilates three times a week,” the source says. “She’s picking it up pretty quickly and is already at the hardest setting!”

Sometimes I do workout DVDs off my laptop. The main problem I find is that I can’t see the screen with some pilates moves because you have to twist away or bend down. You would think that with a small screen like the Nintendo DS you would have to memorize the moves and that it must be hard to see from all positions. It’s certainly something that’s convenient to bring with you though when you travel a lot like Angelina.
We have a Wii fit and I’ve lost weight with it because the thing is pretty motivating in terms of weighing yourself every day. The workouts aren’t super difficult although there are some leg lunges and pushups that are challenging. You have to go to the gym and do other workouts to supplement it.
I’m curious to check out this pilates game that Angelina supposedly uses. I wonder if my kid will let me use his DS or if he’ll complain that I’m keeping him from playing Nintendogs.

Queen Z does not look impressed with being dressed in anything other than her signature pink. Some poor hench-dolly or hench-teddy is going to bear the brunt later – mark my words!
