Pilates For Senior Citizens

Regular exercise is important for everyone, but it may be especially critical for seniors. Have you ever noticed that the gap between those who don't exercise and those who do exercise seems to widen over time? Men and women who work out consistently through their 50s, 60s, 70s and even 80s and 90s look amazing, while their counterparts who don't exercise can look withered or weak.

All the symptoms of a sedentary life, like poor muscle tone, bad posture, hunched shoulders, lower back pain, excess weight, and "spare tires," worsen significantly in older age. The invisible effects of a life without exercise also increase. Senior citizens who don't work out regularly are often plagued with aches and pains, poor sleep, bad circulation, stiff necks, loss of bone density, and a lack of energy.

The good news is that exercise can dramatically reverse these ills. Pilates is very safe for seniors to perform, making it a great exercise choice. Once you begin taking your Pilates equipment privates at Pilates on Fifth, you'll notice some wonderful sensations almost immediately. The first signs that Pilates is working for you will be an increase in energy and a lessening of pain.

As one of our clients told us, "What I notice most is the absence of pain." Soon, your friends and family members will point out that you look taller. "My husband says I've never looked so good," and "everyone says I look taller!" said another one of our happy clients. CARDIOLATES® and Pilates mat classes will help you supplement your equipment privates. You'll soon be back on track to a fitter, happier, more energetic you.
