While no paparazzi have managed to break through Kate and William’s Fortress of Solitude in the Seychelles to show us pictures of her in high street sundresses and bikinis, at least Pippa is still out and about. And she’s even talking now! Well, sort of.

According to the Daily Mail, Pippa left a testimonial message on her London Pilates studio’s website. In it, she calls the workout a “weekly necessity that keeps me fit, happy, and energized.” Much has been made of this, and the media has trumpeted that this is the secret behind Pippa’s great butt. We were skeptical that a weekly Pilates session was enough to get that body.

Nicole Wallen, owner of Mt. Pleasant Pilates and a co-founder of Barre Evolution in Charleston, SC, confirmed that once a week wouldn’t cut it. “I think you can get a really tight butt if you do Pilates two to three times a week consistently. Consistency is the key.” She also recommends that all her clients do cardio workouts for at least 45 minutes two days a week. She said, “You need to melt the fat off with cardio to see the definition from the Pilates.”

The Daily Mail article does note that Pippa regularly sweats; she swims jogs, plays tennis, and skis.

Too lazy to work out? Just go get plastic surgery. The Daily Mail reports that there has been a 60% increase in butt-lifting procedures since Pippa revealed hers in the now-historic McQueen bridesmaid dress. Just ask for the “Pip Package Perfect Posterior.” It costs about $13,000. And it probably hurts like a mother.

We’ll just accept the bum we were born with.
