As more women over 50 seek convenient ways to stay active, online Pilates has become and increasingly popular choice. This blog addresses common questions and concerns to help you confidently embark on your online Pilates journey.

   • Is Pilates Suitable for Women Over 50?

Absolutely! Yes. Yes. Yes. Pilates is a low-impact exercise that enhances flexibility, balance and core strength, making it the ideal choice for women over 50. A study highlighted that Pilates can improve muscles strength and postural control in post-menopausal women. (M Bergamin et al)

   • Can I do Pilates at Home Without Equipment?

Yes, many online Pilates sessions require no special equipment. I always send out an email with any equipment required with a link where to purchase if we are using it. Mat-based pilates utilises your body weight for resistance in many of the exercises, you can also use household items as props if you do not want to purchase any equipment.

   • How Often Should I Practice Pilates To See Results?

Consistency is key. Engaging in Pilates 3-4 times a week can lead to noticeable improvements in strength, flexibility, and overall well-being. Regular practice helps in maintaining these benefits over time. The beauty of my online sessions is you pay for the 4 week course and join any of the sessions suitable for you. 1 payment, 1 link and off you go!

   • What Are the Benefits of Online Pilates Sessions?

Online Pilates offers you the chance to exercise without the hassle of driving to a class! No parking, no extra driving time and cost. Exercise in your PJ’s if you want to. You are in the comfort of your own home, with the guidance of an instructor and the same community as if attending a class at the gym. It is a cost effective way to stay active.

   • Do I Need Prior Experience to Start Online Pilates?

No prior experience is necessary. I have sessions suited to beginners, and specialised sessions for bone health and pelvic floor. I encourage 121 sessions so that you can progress and adapt exercises to suit your unique requirements.
