Lesley Ackland‚ truly practises what she preaches − in her late 40s‚ she looks 20 years younger thanks to her Pilates body maintenance programme. Pilates is the perfect exercise regime for the over 50s due to its low−impact exercises that ensure joints remain flexible and general mobility is increased.
Here Lesley reveals her fitness secrets‚ including Pilates exercises and a nutrition plan‚ which will allow everyone to look and feel years younger. The routines in this book combine low−impact exercises with resistance training and weight−bearing exercise‚ which is crucial for building and maintaining bone density to ensure osteoporosis doesn′t set in after menopause.
The benefits of Pilates for more mature people include:
flexible joints and a strong back to take the years off you
toned and lengthened arms‚ shoulders‚ legs‚ abdominals and buttocks so your clothes hang beautifully whatever your size
improved suppleness and grace; improved bone density for long−term health benefits.
With a case study of one of Lesley′s mature clients who has used her routines to alleviate age−related health problems such as arthritis‚ postural difficulties and bone density problems‚ Pilates Over 50 is a comprehensive guide to looking and feeling younger.
