The normal aging process builds our bones, muscles, and tissues, for women up to about age 35 and for men up to approximately 40. After this time our bones start to lose their density as we are no longer building bone mass, our muscles and connective tissue which surround and protect our joints become weaker and less pliable, thus, contributing to bone and joint disease and making them more susceptible to injury. Some of these diseases and back and joint problems include; chronic low back pain, sciatic pain, degeneration of the spine, arthritis, osteoporosis, and the knee, hip, and shoulders are especially vulnerable to arthritis and joint replacements as we age. If you are suffering from any of these conditions or just want to prevent and prolong some of these joint and back pain conditions from ailing you I can help.
With an online ebook designed with the Pilates concepts in mind I have developed a specific joint and/or back friendly exercise routine for you. Check out the new Pilates ebook you can access and download now.
Using the concepts of Pilates exercises you can safely and effectively re-train your body to perform the way it was intended to. Pilates exercises work two ways:
1) Stabilizing: The pilates exercises work the deeper stabilizing muscles that surround and protect the spine and the joints, such as the hip and shoulder joints. These muscles are our endurance muscles, they do not tire as quickly which is necessary to keep our spine and posture erect and neutral when moving the body. 2) Mobilizing: While stabilizing the core musculature of the body we then are allowed to use the mobilizing muscles more effectively, these are the larger muscles of the arms and legs such as the quadriceps and hamstrings in the legs and the biceps and triceps in the arms. The object is to work these muscles groups through their full and natural range of motion, which is most effective when the trunk of the body is stable.
