Age doesn't matter! Come to Pilates too!

Age doesn't matter! Come and try Pilates!

Pilates is a form of exercise that appeals to both young and old. Before you dismiss it, let's see how it moves our bodies – whether we are 20 or of a beautiful age!

One of the most important pillars of Pilates is that it takes our own abilities as a basis. Since we work with our own body, we don't force ourselves into lifting heavy weights or conquering unattainable distances. It only gives us tasks that we can perform. And we perform every exercise at our own level. It's not a problem if we don't do as much as others initially, as continuous training allows us to catch up after a few sessions.

Since we are not all the same, it cannot be expected that everyone will perform the tasks perfectly. There will be some types that we solve more easily, while others are a bit more challenging. Everyone has their own body type, which determines which exercise is difficult and which is easier. In these cases, the Pilates instructor can suggest alternative solutions, exercise modifications, or variations, which we can then change after a few sessions.

Pilates exercises are designed so that people over 50 can also practice them safely. As musculoskeletal changes can occur with age, our instructor will pay attention to whether we perform each exercise fully or with modifications.

The advantage of the exercises is that anyone can join at any time, so no prior movement experience or training is required. Thanks to the clear instructions, we can quickly get into the rhythm, and once we get a taste for it, we can easily become addicted.

Since it doesn't require any "preparation," we can easily incorporate it into our daily routine. The advantage of group classes is that a friendly, family atmosphere develops, where before or after performing the Pilates exercises, there is an opportunity to share our experiences and impressions with each other.

Pilates exercises during a class are designed to engage the entire skeletal musculature, thus helping us to refresh ourselves after sedentary work and activate those muscles that we don't always use. In addition to performing the right exercises, our posture improves, and we can feel refreshed and fitter.
