Speaking as a 56 year old Granny of two 😉 as we age, combining Pilates and Strength training provides a powerful duo for physical longevity, preserving both how our bodies look and how they function. Combining Pilates and dedicated strength training introduces the progressive resistance needed to counteract natural age-related muscle loss, protecting metabolic health and stimulating bone density to ward off osteoporosis. Meanwhile, the low-impact, precise movements of Pilates act as a perfect complement; it zeroes in on deep core stability, flexibility, and alignment, which decompresses aging joints and significantly lowers back pain. Together, these two disciplines dramatically improve dynamic balance and spatial awareness, giving you the stability to prevent falls and the functional strength to maintain total independence in your daily life.
Come and join me in my weekly Pilates classes, where you will receive person centered teaching and encouragement.
For your strength training come and join me online and plan in your 15 minute targeted sessions into your week. Lots of online options including Pilates, yoga, daily stretch, express upper and lower body, express Abs, LIIT (no jumping) - Low Impact Interval Training classes and HIIT - High Impact Interval Training. Classes are between 5 - 45 minutes long. Can be done LIVE with me or on catch up.
To find out more about both, look for further details on my website.
