Kelly Clarkson is relieved to know that Simone Biles is just like us.

On “The Kelly Clarkson Show,” Biles who is known as the greatest gymnast of all time, revealed why she posted an Instagram story in early December about not liking Pilates.

In the story, Biles said that this was her “first time working out since the Olympics” in August and she found the exercise to be “too hard.”

“I hear that we have something in common,” Clarkson said on the Dec. 12, episode of her show, adding that she doesn’t like Pilates either.

The talk show host explained that she thought the class was more difficult in New York than in L.A. However, Biles said that she didn’t think that was necessarily true.

“I think it’s everywhere because I cannot do it to save my life,” she said with a laugh.

“It’s so hard,” Clarkson replied. “My legs were trembling.”

Biles agreed and said the workout put her legs through the wringer as well. That’s why she took every opportunity to rest during class.

“My legs were trembling and when the teacher wasn’t looking, I was cheating,” she laughed.

“It’s not for me,” Biles added.

Clarkson said she did the same thing and to hear an athlete like Biles also struggled doing Pilates made her feel better about herself.

“It made me feel good that you weren’t good,” Clarkson said. “It made me feel better about myself. I was like, she’s an Olympic gold medalist. She’s the GOAT. She can’t do it, neither can I.”
