You are never too old! Pilates exercises can be gentle yet challenging in a safe and non-threatening way. As we get older, we tend to develop habits and postures which over time become so ingrained that normal movement becomes impinged. Pilates will help combat osteoporosis, as well as encourage movement through all planes and safe ranges to keep your body ticking over and healthy!
It is important to know that Pilates is not an aerobic activity, so although you will at times work quite hard, you won’t be running a marathon! No matter what your levels of fitness, I will work within your limits, pulling back where necessary or where you are making gains, challenging you further.
We recommend that you take regular exercise and follow a healthy lifestyle – to include healthy eating as a matter of course, and we can help you with that if required. Pilates will help to develop your core strength, while lengthening and toning your muscles. We will never push you too far or too soon – safety and enjoyment are paramount!
