Stay Strong with these 10 Holiday Pilates Exercises

To help you stay strong and merry during the holidays, here’s a gentle, senior-friendly workout inspired by classic Pilates. These moves include no bending and twisting which may be helpful for friends with osteoporosis and are designed to strengthen your body, improve balance, and enhance mobility, all while embracing the festive holiday spirit.

Pilates is a low-impact approach to building strength, balance, and flexibility. We’ve taken inspiration from traditional Pilates exercises and adapted them to be senior-friendly, focusing on seated and standing options that are safe, effective, and easy to follow.
