Pilates for Bone Health
Thursday 1:30-2:30pm
With 1 in 3 women and 1 in 12 men over the age of 50 estimated to have osteoporosis and 50% of women over 50 estimated to have low bone density, exercise for bone health has never been more important. With it's emphasis on posture, alignment and balance as well as full body integrated movement, Pilates is a fantastic exercise system to strengthen the body to help protect against injuries and falls, whilst gently loading the bones (which helps them stay strong).
Within this Specialist class we can concentrate on those exercises that will be of most benefit to those with low bone density, whilst avoiding those exercises that present a risk.
The class is small as always (no more than 6 people per class), and you do not need to have done any Pilates before to attend.
This class runs term time only and is bought in half-termly blocks. The cost per class is £12.
