How do you feel right now? What actions are you taking to have a vibrant and healthy future?
If you want to have a healthy and active retirement, what are you doing now to make sure that happens? If you sit at a desk for 30 years and exercise occasionally, do you think your body will be in good shape to take on the world when you retire? This is the path many people take, resulting in health challenges during retirement that take the joy out of that time without work.
Quality exercise three times a week now, can make your later years healthy and active. If you’re busy but want to exercise now to enjoy your life now AND during retirement Pilates is the best way to do that.
Pilates is low impact exercise that focuses on quality movement.
This means you do movement that protects your joints and strengthens while you exercise instead of overdoing it or wearing down your joints. You work your whole body every session. From your feet to your head and neck. You gain strength while creating flexibility so you avoid injury and recover quickly.
I have a 91 year old client that does Pilates twice a week. We work on her strength, balance, flexibility. Consistent Pilates has maintained her mobility and keeps her active. She still drives, is in a book club, travels to Europe, takes Spanish classes and walks to do errands. My 83 year old client golfs four days a week, does Pilates twice a week and is an avid baker.
Take a moment to think about your future and how you want it to be. You can start working on that now with Pilates. Just a few sessions a week will help you feel stronger and more focused now so you can continue that lifestyle in your later years. Quality exercise a few times a week is not much to ask in exchange for many happy, healthy years ahead to enjoy.
