Why Choose Pilates? Fitness For Every Stage Of Life
Sep 08, 2018
As I set of on my walk this morning I noticed an elderly woman, lets call her Eva, ahead of me on the footpath with a walking stick pulling a shopping trolley behind her obviously heading for the local shops a couple of blocks away. She was struggling to walk in a waddling, side to side movement and was clearly in pain. At every second house Eva would stop sit and rest on the front fence for a minute or so before continuing on. Walking was clearly difficult and her joints looked painful and stiff, this daily activity of walking had become a major issue for her.
When I see people in Eva’s situation I want to help them and let them know for the vast majority, there is another way! Unfortunately in our culture it is widely accepted that ageing involves pain, loss of fitness and lack of mobility but it’s not true! This is where Pilates comes in. This unique method of exercise strengthens from the inside out by developing core stability and can be tailored to any fitness level and it’s never to late to begin.
It’s suitable for children and can be continued throughout life promoting healthy aging and high quality retirement years. After all, who wants to be immobile in retirement? There is no point working hard during your life and then being too weak and unfit to enjoy your twilight years. We put a lot of effort into maintaining our cars and renovating our homes but what about our bodies? They need constant maintenance too.
