Hello,
As I said last week, I love it when class members tell me about something they can do now that they couldn’t do before coming to classes. An inspiring class member who has had treatment for breast cancer, plus she is recovering from a stroke, was out walking with her family when she had to climb over a high gate (a herd of cows had blocked the path). She said she could do it from all the strength she had gained from Chairfit. I can’t tell you how good she felt with that achievement!
A word that keeps coming up in the media and fitness articles is Longevity (a long duration of individual life). In the article below, they listed 3 workouts which are important to do regularly and consistently:
1. Something for cardiovascular fitness eg walking, dancing, swimming
2. Strength training eg weight training, Pilates with weights
3 Mobility eg yoga or Pilates
I asked scientists about the best exercise for longevity – and they all said the same 3 workouts
Of course, it is not just about how long you live, it is about the quality and enjoyment in life. Being able to be active and do things that give you pleasure is the key. Other class members report how Pilates (because of improved strength, flexibility and balance) makes gardening easier, which brings them so much joy!
