Most men think Pilates is for women (at least those who’ve heard of Pilates), with lots of stretching and dance movements. In fact, Pilates was originally designed for injured soldiers returning from World War I by a boxer named Joseph Pilates (a man). The hallmarks of Pilates are: core strength, flexibility, balance, uniform development and efficient, graceful movement. Pilates emphasizes moving from the center of the body, the powerhouse and developing core strength in the deep muscles of the center to stabilize the trunk and protect the back. This kind of core training makes Pilates an excellent technique for full-body fitness, as well as conditioning for other activities such as weightlifting, running, golf and tennis. Pilates gives you the foundation you need to have fun without hurting yourself. Most men over 50 struggle with common issues – back pain, poor posture, a bloated waistline, low sex drive – and are generally disconnected with what their own bodies are telling them. Pilates is ideal for dealing with these conditions. It is a challenging workout, but easy on joints and poses little risk for injury (in fact, Pilates helps prevent injury in other activities). Pilates works toward functional fitness – a goal that should be important to men over 50. That is, the ability to have the strength, balance, and flexibility that allows men to move through daily activities with grace and ease. Though Pilates exercises do seek to increase flexibility and range of motion, you won’t be subjected to the uncomfortable stretches and poses you might find in yoga or dance. There is just nothing else like Pilates. It will...

Luis’s bio: Two weeks before my 18th birthday, while I was auditioning for Ballet Concierto de Puerto Rico classical company, I was introduced to the Pilates Method, by the company’s Director at the time, Lolita San Miguel.Before we could touch the ballet barre, she had us on the floor doing foot exercises, hundreds and roll-ups. Following Lolita’s instructions, I thought to myself, “I am here to dance, not to roll like a ball”, but what I did not know was how, at that specific moment, my life would change for the better. By 2000, as my dancing career came to a close, I received my first Pilates certification from Meghan Jackson at the Pilates Body Center in Pennsylvania. With her background as a Movement Therapist, Ms. Jackson brought a unique perspective to Joseph Pilate’s classical repertoire. In 2009, I finished a rigorous, two year Pilates Master Mentor Program (PMMP) under the direct supervision of my mentor, teacher and PIlates Elder, Lolita San Miguel, one of the only three living first generation teachers. PMMP is one of the most comprehensive training programs in the Pilates...
