Carve 10 minutes out of your day for this simple Pilates flow.<\/p>\n
For many individuals, mornings were made for a good cup of coffee and a solid workout routine. This is especially true as you age, since your body experiences many changes in metabolism, muscle loss<\/a>, hormones, and more. It\u2019s essential to do just the right workout to maintain lean muscle so you can continue to live and enjoy life without assistance. The good news is you don\u2019t have to work out for hours. In fact, we are here with a 10-minute daily routine<\/a> that can help restore full-body strength<\/a> faster than gym machines after 55.<\/p>\n To rebuild practical, everyday strength, Pilates<\/a> can be an incredibly effective method to consider.<\/p>\n \u201cWithout using machines, traditional Pilates builds strength from the core outward, improves posture, balance, and flexibility. It strengthens muscles, enhances endurance, boosts stability and balance, increases flexibility, and improves joint mobility,\u201d explains Jill Drummond<\/b><\/a>, VP of Fitness at BODYBAR Pilates. Before joining the BODYBAR team, Drummond was the Global Education and Program Manager at Freemotion Fitness from 2019 through 2023.<\/p>\n Below, Drummond shares her go-to exercises to help rebuild total-body strength.
