Real People Pilates DVD: greater stability, fitness and feel good-factor

The ONLY Pilates DVD available in the UK designed specifically for a 50 year old+ audience, Real People Pilates is a do-at-home introduction to Pilates consisting of low impact exercises specifically devised to improve stability, flexibility, mobility and general fitness.

The DVD’s two workouts – one consisting of floor work which focuses on building core stability and the second containing a series of exercise done whilst standing up, which promotes balance and mobility – contain a range of functional exercises which take into account health related conditions occurring in the over 50s age group, making it well suited to beginners. The routines also include helpful hints and suggestions on how to correct positioning in order to ensure the workout is safe and effective for all participants.

With a clear and gentle approach, Liz Chandler, a fully certified Pilates teacher with 15 years’ experience, leads the exercises accompanied by three of her students aged between 62 and 70, who each have different health concerns. The exercises have been devised in conjunction with a qualified physiotherapist and registered osteopath and the DVD has been endorsed by the GP, physiotherapy and osteopathic communities.
