Pilates and the Older Adult Population
This Living to 100 Club Podcast looks at the benefits of Pilates for the older adult population. Our guest is Lesley Logan, a Nationally Certified Pilates Teacher. We discuss what Pilates is, its history, and the benefits to its students. Our guest describes how Pilates is different from other fitness and movement programs. How does Pilates affect our strength? Our flexibility? Our posture? What about Pilates and older adults? Why is Pilates appropriate for the older adult population, and what adjustments are necessary? And for our listeners’ benefit, our guest describes practical, actionable exercises to be done at home. Be sure to join us for this engaging, informative discussion.
