Still got it! Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Lisa Rinna shows she can still do the splits perfectly — even at 59. MailOnline obtained exclusive video of her showing off her flexibility with ‘Pilates guru to the stars’ Sam Cotrone
Lisa, who has just launched her own range of wine, has been working out with Sam since 1998, and credits him with keeping her toned and flexible.
Sam says: 'She has the body of a woman half her age. Lisa is in great shape and she credits her Pilates workouts with keeping her body perfect.
'She's smart about what she eats, but she's just launched her own range of wines, so she’s very much someone who believes in enjoying life too. It’s all about balance.
'Pilates is something she has done religiously for years, and one of the positions she always works on is maintaining the splits. It’s an advanced move and there are not that many 59-year-olds who are as fit as she is.’

Sam and his wife Susannah, both former professional ballet dancers, run Cotrone Pilates in a studio on the second floor of a nondescript West Hollywood shopping mall.
But despite the studio's modest exterior, a who's who of Hollywood has walked through its doors.
'In Hollywood, fitness trends come and go, but classical Pilates endures,' says Susannah.
'It's proven to work, which is why so many celebrities stick with it. There are always fad diets and fad workout routines, but people get bored of them. Classical Pilates has stuck around so long because it works and has real results.'
The Cotrone's celebrity clients include Kelly Osbourne, Priscilla Presley, Melanie Griffith, Handmaid’s Tale star Elisabeth Moss, Jamie Lee Curtis, Minnie Driver and even Bill Clinton’s ex-mistress Monica Lewinsky.

Lisa Minnelli was even spotted at the studio recently.
Hollywood power players like André Balazs, who owns the infamous Chateau Marmont hotel, goes every day when he is in town, as do several Hollywood studio heads.
Sam, who has danced professionally with the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, is close friends with former Dancing With the Stars pro Louis van Amstel, who is rumored to be considering a return to the series, possibly as part of an all-male team, the first in the show's history.
'Louis always brings his dancing parters to me to build their flexibility,' says Sam.

'That's how I met Priscilla Presley, Niecy Nash and Kendra Wilkinson. Once people try classical Pilates they get hooked and keep coming back. It makes you lean, flexible and strong, as Lisa's amazing body shows.'
Former Days Of Our Lives star Rinna has brought her Real Housewives cast mates Dorit Kemsley and Kyle Richards to Sam and even filmed a segment for the new season at the studio to show off her fitness routine.
Rinna's husband Harry Hamlin also works out with Sam.
Fans have been speculating Rinna is about to quit Housewives after she began posting a series of cryptic messages online, including, 'And that's showbiz, kid,' and, 'I was Lisa F-ing Rinna before HW and I'll be Lisa F-ing Rinna After.'
