      thanks for the suggestion. unfortunately high impact exercise is a thing of the past for me. i had to hang up my orange theory classes for good. but when there’s a will there’s a way. and Pilates has come to my aide. xo

    I have been doing Pilates for 17 years and swear by it… the best form of self care there is.

    • Beth Djalali says:

      thanks for sharing, katie! Pilates is the best form of self care. and it’s the type of exercise perfect for a twenty year old or an eighty year old. love it! xo

    Beth, thank you for today’s post on Pilates! I am doing weekly private Pilates lessons and just love how it makes me feel.. energetic, more focused on balance and of course the strengthening of my body!

      thanks for sharing, judy! and balance becomes more and more important as we age. isn’t it great to feel energetic? that’s the fuel we need each day to stay active. xo

    Do you know if there is a similar class in Tulsa, OK? Thx!

    • Beth Djalali says:

      hi diane! i don’t know of any studios first hand. but a city the size of Tulsa should offer more than one. just be certain that the instructors are certified when looking for a Pilates reformer class. xo

    I’m going!!!! I didn’t know they had early morning classes – thanks Beth, I’ll tell ‘em you sent me….. and I want to look like you at 60!!!!!

    Good for you. Too high impact for me because of hip replacement. But I do water aerobics three times a
    week.

    • Beth Djalali says:

      Pilates isn’t high impact at all. as a matter of fact, many dr’s send their patients to Pilates to help with injuries. it does wonders for my knees. xo

    Hi Beth, what a great post, I’ve been dappling with Pilates for a while after having some hip and back issue’s and I’m sure it came from when I used to do Ballroom & Latin dancing. I do go to a Chiropractor and they do run Yoga and Pilates classes but I’ve never actually tried them, after watching this post I think I’m going to. The only thing the classes don’t do is use the Transformer machines which I would really love to try and I’m struggling to find anywhere near where I live that does. While we were on holiday I was doing some Pilates every day but since returning home I’ve hardly done any, which is my fault but I did start feeling g better when doing them more often. Thank you your post has given me the push I needed.

    I just recently started following your blog, Beth. I was panicking, looking for appropriate dressing in my 60’s for my niece’s wedding. You have been a great help. I was happily surprised to see this post about Pilates. It truly is an amazing discipline; my Spine Doctor even recommends it. I do have a background in ballet (nothing close to Ali’s ballet career), and Pilates helps with keeping those muscles strong and flexible. Thank you for this post!

    I absolutely love Reformer Pilates. My instructors are fabulous. The owner is a fireball and so knowledgeable. I have learned so much from her. I attend classes 2X a week. I am so lucky that one of the instructors teaches mat Pilates 2X’s a week at our local YMCA, I have been on a fitness regime 3 years now. Reformer Pilates 1 1/2 years. Seeing the transformation to my friends who take Reformer Pilates was enough to encourage me to try it. I am so proud of myself because I am 65 and exercise 6 days a week. The compliments I receive on how well I look helps keep me motivated!!
