Pilates is hugely beneficial to anyone at any stage of their fitness journey, the holy grail of body loving fitness, you might say. Slow controlled movements allows your body to really work whilst being low impact enough for even complete beginners. Have you ever seen a 90 year old that looked & acted about 50… or a 50 year old that looked & acted 30 (I’m looking at you Elle MacPherson)? They’ve been doing Pilates. I put money on it. Pilates moves tend to target the core, although the exercises work other areas of your body as well. You can do Pilates with or without equipment (more on that below), but no matter what, expect the moves to involve slow, precise movements and breath control.
