Reba McEntire is alive, well...and practicing Pilates

Ever so often, the Internet buzzes with false rumors that a celebrity is dead. The latest subject of such rumors, Reba McEntire, is just as spunky and vibrantly slim as ever - and, like many other stars, practicing Pilates regularly.

"There is a rumor going around that I died after falling off a mountain in Austria yesterday while shooting a movie," US magazine reported that Rita blogged. "While I would love to be shooting a movie in Austria, I definitely did not fall off a mountain! Nor am I dead! I am alive and kicking!!!"

So how does Reba stay so energized and toned? Pilates. She's such a fan of Pilates expert Risa Sheppard, in fact, that she penned a testimonial for Risa's Sheppard Method site: "I love to go to The Sheppard Method Pilates Studio. Risa makes me feel right at home, gives me a great work out and even rubs the knots out of my shoulders before she sends me on my way. Pilates makes me feel more fluid. It helps takes all the kinks out of my back, shoulders and even my hands. I feel better all over doing Pilates. I highly recommend it."
