At 39 years old, Laure Manaudou, the former Olympic swimmer from Athens, continues to explore new athletic disciplines. Thirteen years after retiring from professional swimming, she recently added the Lagree method to her fitness routine. She shared a photo on her Instagram account from a session on the Megaformer machine, expressing enthusiasm for the practice and stating her intention to integrate it as a complement to her running training for muscle strengthening. The Lagree method, often confused with classical Pilates, involves movements executed at an extremely slow pace but under continuous tension. It focuses on deep muscles while preserving joints, using sliding carts and resistance springs to perform lunges, planks, and squats over a 45-minute to one-hour session. Unlike traditional workouts that may rely on repetitive motions, Lagree emphasizes controlled, sustained effort to build strength without overexertion. For an athlete like Manaudou, whose joints have been used at the highest level for years, Lagree represents a way to strengthen muscles without risking bone or muscular trauma. The method has gained popularity among many individuals, despite session prices ranging between 30 and 60 euros depending on the studios. It has especially become a must for many personalities and athletes, who value its focus on injury prevention and long-term physical health. Redouane Bougheraba, a comedian, recently appeared on social networks during a Lagree session, showing his participation on the sliding platform. Beyond individual interest, the professional sports world finds biomechanical value in the method. In France, rugby players from the LOU (Lyon OU) have integrated these sessions into their preparation to optimize stability, flexibility, and power under tension. Across the Atlantic, baseball player Mark Canha and several NFL stars regularly use Lagree to strengthen stabilizing muscles and prevent serious injuries.
