There are so many benefits to adding Pilates to your workouts. Pilates helps with back pain, makes you stand taller, and focuses on strong and lean muscles. It creates a strong core, and as a bonus, it helps with flexibility because we almost never stretch enough, all with low impact.

Don't be fooled into thinking that you can only do Pilates on those machines seen in Pilates studios which look more like torture devices. You might still be intrigued and want to try Pilates over 50 as you have heard such good things about it. It’s never too late to start Pilates.

Today we talk about 3 compelling reasons to start Pilates over 50 and 3 easy ways you can add Pilates to your day and make it a habit.

I’m a huge fan of Pilates and have been teaching for about 20 years. All my clients, online or in-person, learn how to incorporate Pilates into their day without using the machines. It is nice to have access to the machines, but they are not a must-have to achieve your health goals. Pilates doesn’t stop at the mat or with the equipment.

Pilates is ideal for women over 50 as it’s low-impact and effective in strengthening, lengthening, and toning the entire body through controlled movements.

By incorporating just a few Pilates principles into daily activities, you might start to see results after just a few weeks of consistent practice, including improved balance, better posture, increased core strength, a deeper mind-body connection, and better overall fitness.
