About this routine

To prepare for her lead role in Barbie, Margot Robbie trained with celebrity fitness trainer David Higgins. Her physical conditioning focused on posture, core strength, and functional movement rather than bulk. The Margot Robbie workout routine centered heavily on reformer Pilates and rollerblading to build endurance while capturing the bright energy required for the film.

Reformer Pilates helped align her spine and tone her core through slow, deliberate tension. Higgins integrated rollerblading to build leg strength and cardiovascular stamina, which also directly served the Venice Beach filming sequences. The combination provided high intensity conditioning with low joint impact.

You can adopt this conditioning sequence anywhere with basic equipment. Use resistance band mat work if you do not have a reformer, and swap rollerblading for inline skating or steady outdoor cycling if needed.

Why this routine works

  • Strengthens deep core muscles and improves spinal posture
  • Builds lower body power through low impact skating cardio
  • Enhances dynamic balance and coordination
