Is Pilates giving you a false sense of security? 🤔 I love Pilates. It is the gold standard for body awareness, grace, and deep core strength. But if you are a woman over 40, Pilates cannot be your only strategy. Here is the science 👇 As you enter perimenopause, your estrogen plummets. Estrogen was protecting your muscle mass and bone density. Now that it’s gone, you need a new stimulus to replace it. That stimulus is Progressive Overload. You need to lift things that feel heavy. You need to create mechanical tension. While the reformer is amazing, it has its limits. The Longevity Equation is simple: ✅ Resistance Training: To build the “armor” (Muscle & Bone). ✅ Pilates/Yoga: To maintain the mobility of that armor. ✅ Walking: To manage cortisol. Don’t choose one over the other. Just make sure you are serving the right “Main Course.” Are you Team Pilates, Team Weights, or Team Hybrid?
