PILATES FOR SENIORS. Almaden Pilates provides specific classes designed to keep seniors fit and active. These senior classes are Bone Density Safe and are safe for Osteoporosis and Osteopenia clients. Senior Classes are specifically designed to maintain and improve your range of motion and are normally chair based classes with exercises working upper and lower body for maximum effect.
Pilates also frequently uses eccentric muscle contractions - where the muscle fibres are lengthened. Some of the Pilates exercises require a high intensity of muscle contraction, that you would describe as a resistance exercise. In my personal experience, Pilates does help with fat-loss. I have had several clients lose weight - including fat from their abdominals, thigh and buttocks - from the practice of Pilates. I, also, have personally experienced a change in physique from the practice of Pilates.
