Many of our classes are on a break this week, but that doesn’t have to be an excuse to skip your pilates workout. Start or end each day this week with 10-minutes of pilates. Do your favorite exercises so that you’ll want to do it again the next day.
Need a good reason not to skip pilates? Here’s some recent research:
- Pilates helped improved balance and autonomy in women age 60-78.
- People who take pilates classes report having better sleep and a better mood
Pilates is really a fantastic way to stay fit, and I found it to have been incredibly beneficial on a personal level. But recently, I read this article (http://www.pressdisplay.com/pressdisplay/showlink.aspx?bookmarkid=J5FPDV39U0E7&preview=article&linkid=bf45c49c-086b-43c9-a819-efc7ce20e30b&pdaffid=ZVFwBG5jk4Kvl9OaBJc5%2bg%3d%3d) and frankly, I’m amazed at the amount some of these trainers charge for a workout. Can anybody tell my whether it’s really a better workout system, or just the rich aiming the rice? $130 a workout? REALLY?
…must be some magic dust I’m missing out on or something for such a pretty penny, eh?
Media–that article looks like it is talking about training movie stars. I think in most areas personal training is not that expensive. Private classes in pilates usually costs about $65-85 for an hour of training, at least in CT. Any time you get personal attention it will be expensive and pilates instructors tend to cost more because their cost to maintain their certification is usually higher.
