Pilates Weight Training
Designed for those with or trying to prevent osteoporosis and/or osteopenia (low bone density). The workouts will become increasingly challenging using hand weights and body weight to progressively load your upper and lower body, resulting in stronger muscles and bones and improved balance. We will use the STOTT PILATES® 6 Principles to optimize alignment, joint health, and force distribution through the body. Exercises are done standing and on the floor; variations are offered so that you can customize your workout to meet your needs.
