This is a 30 minute Mat Pilates workout for the 60+ age group or indeed anyone who wants a gentle yet effective pilates class. This session will increase your core strength, improve flexibility, and is safe for painful knees and hips. It will help with the general aches & pains in the joints and spine. There will also be some other exercises to help combat loss of strength, coordination and balance that comes with age, but -and this is important- It doesn't have to be that way! Doing these exercises regularly will improve all these things so I am recommending you build up to doing this workout at least twice a week. Take your time and do what you can, if anything is too challenging for you right now, don't worry, just rest and come back and try again when you're ready. I call this my active ageing session as the exercises included are for the general aches & pains in the joints and spine that come with age. There will also be gentle stretches to improve flexibility, as well as exercises to build core strength and improve posture to help with all the time we are spending sitting down during this pandemic. I'll be adding other exercises to challenge your coordination so look out for some fun exercises to work your brain as well as your body! Exercising regularly will improve both mind and body and I recommend you build up to doing your pilates workout at least twice a week. Take your time and do what you can. If anything is too challenging for you right now, don't worry, just rest and come back and try again when you're ready.
The session will be followed by a Q & A where from the comfort of your own home you can ask me questions, or just say hello whilst enjoying a nice cup of tea at a safe social distance.
If you click the Bell icon above you'll get a reminder when I'm about to go live and you'll see a chat window come up where you can send me any questions or dedications for your friends, family or for you. I love to chat so don't be shy and get involved, it's a lovely way to meet people from across the globe without leaving home.
Please tell all your friends, and relatives, and let's see if we can bring together Seniors from all over the world to bring some cheer, some fun and some feelgood movement.
