50CONNECT.CO.UK, the UK's leading over 50's lifestyle website, has
set their members a challenge - to to try out a Pilates for Life programme for
themselves, reporting back on the changes they experience.
Twenty five
volunteers have each chosen a programme to complete twice a week for a period
of ten weeks. The volunteers will keep us up to date on their progress by
reporting regularly to a tutor and you can read all about it in the weekly
bulletins that will be published on this and 50 Connect's website.
A
variety of programmes have been selected for the trial including: Pilates
for a Stronger Low Back, Pilates for Osteoarthritis and Pilates for
50+ which reflects the diverse range of health problems within this age
group. There has also been a very high demand from would be participants,
illustrating the enthusiasm of this age group to take responsibility for their
own physical welfare and do more to improve their health - an essential part of
the Pilates system of exercise. |
