Pilates is safe for people over 55 years?
A friend is to sit straight-legged in her Pilates classes. I was said it's too hard on the back. If you are in contact with a qualified fitness intructor please let me know the answer to this question.
I was a dance teacher (ballet, jazz, etc.) for 8 years and have studied Pilates. Pilates is a wonderful way to strengthen your body, if you are a beginner, a base class would be best for you. My opinion on the abdominal legs straight is if you have a bad back, do not do this exercise. I never do legs straight sit-ups, because personally I do not find helpful and it bothers my back … If you are looking to increase flexibility, straighten your legs before you, and reach your toes, not forgetting to relax and breathe (do not bounce or force the head to the knees). If you want strengthen your core (abdominal) crunches are the best, especially on a Medicine Ball, but be sure to properly execute the movement with respiration adequate. If ever you take an exercise class and it is an exercise that hurts you or makes you uncomfortable, do not. Ask the instructor for one year replacement or modification of an exercise that will keep your body injury free.

Callanetics [VHS] $9.98 The Callanetics video itself is dated. 1986 I do believe is the original publishing date. There is no fancy stage production, no fancy clothes and extremely low key, soft, meditative music. I am not thrown off by this and as long as I enjoy something, it does not matter to me. I have always done Pilates and instead of giving me energy afterwards, I was usually so relaxed I would go straight to bed… |
