I am 50 and suddenly realized I have no strength in my thighs. Getting up off the floor or from a squat is very hard to do. Will pilates be of value? I need something I can start at home. I don’t have a bike. What would be a good start on increasing the strength in my thighs?
I have been doing pilates for 2 months now… VERY basic ab workouts mainly.. some thigh and butt.. but ALL in moderation.. I even bring my legs up as high as I can rather than almost touching the floor so I DONT strain my back. After 2 months of making my stomach so flat and sexy and strengthening all my muscles, tonight I picked my son up like I always do and I strained my lower back so much so I was paralyzed in pain for a minute.. It got better quiker than I thought…
But is it true maybe that for some.. pilates, no matter how basic and how CAREFUL you are, may not be built to handle the workouts? And after my back muscles heal, should I continue if I’m careful the way I pick things up and move? Because pilates for leaning and toning up is awesome for my body!
It’s paining for me and i can’t fold both the legs above the thigh what can i do
