The former vice president told Keke Palmer she loves how it works all the smaller muscles in her body.

Harris said Pilates helps her feel empowered in her daily life.

First she was Brat , now she's a Pilates girlie .

"You know what I've been doing though recently is Pilates," former vice president Kamala Harris told actor Keke Palmer on an episode of the "Baby, This is Keke Palmer" podcast, posted October 15.

Harris said that, along with a walk with her husband Doug Emhoff, time to cook, and a family dinner, the workout would be part of her perfect Sunday.

Harris, who is 61, has no biological children, but she helped co-parent Cole, 32, and Ella, 27, Emhoff's kids from his previous marriage.

Harris said Pilates gives her "an overall feeling of well-being" and helps her feel empowered in her daily life.

"There's so much about empowerment that is about knowing your strength and recognizing it," she said.

Through Pilates, which emphasizes the brain-body connection, she said she feels more connected to her physical strength.

"I'm just realizing that there are all of these muscles and areas that I have not been exercising," Harris said.

Originally popular among dancers, models, and celebrities, Pilates has become the workout du jour.

It was the most-booked workout on ClassPass globally last year, with bookings up 66% from 2024, beating both strength training and running.
