Dua Lipa can do a perfectly controlled headstand. She can also do the flying splits (eka pada koundinyasana II). Hell, she can even do a headstand on a surfboard, a trick she just showed off during her holiday in the Balearic Islands. “I always make time to get a good workout in whenever and wherever I’m in the world,” Lipa tells Vogue. A big part of that routine? Reformer pilates.
For the uninitiated, reformer pilates is a low-impact workout beloved by the likes of Hailey Bieber, Meghan Markle, and yes, Lipa. Today, the singer and Service95 founder shares with Vogue that she’s joining Frame as co-founder and chief creative officer.
Frame is an at-home version of the reformer machine from your favorite group class, equipped with a screen so you can stream a class anytime you want. Lipa was actually the first person in Europe to have Frame’s reformer in her home. “I love that I can wake up, roll out of bed, and get right to it on the reformer,” she says. “I love that I see such instant results [from the workout]. It’s like some of the best forms of strength training for me.”
It’s hard to imagine that Lipa would need strength training at all—she’s currently on a 37-city world tour and just started her four-night New York City set. “I’m in heels all the time, so my core is incredibly important. You’ve got to have a really strong core because if you have a strong core, then you’ve got a strong lower back, and so therefore that really helps when you’re dancing and you’re up on your feet for a very long time.”
