Feeling like your body isn't quite what it used to be? Discover How You Can Regain Strength, Balance & Confidence By Learning The Secrets To Pilates! Pilates is one of the most popular forms of exercise all over the world. Millions of people swear by it and many have testified that after several sessions of Pilates, the aches and pains that used to plague them, diminished and disappeared. Unlike other forms of training such as running, weight lifting, kickboxing, etc. Pilates is a low-impact exercise that most people can do well into their senior years. That makes it fantastic for older adults who wish to stay active and fit. As one ages, the high-impact sports and activities that require a lot of exertion become torturous. The human body can only handle so much impact and training as it ages. We must change our style of training accordingly. Most people, young and old, lead highly sedentary lifestyles. This inevitably leads to weaker bodies and misalignments. The muscles and joints are weaker due to lack of use. Like they say, if you don’t use it, you’ll lose it.
