Originally developed as a physical therapy method, Pilates uses controlled movements that enable you to strengthen your body’s core, while also improving your flexibility and balance. A bonus is that it may even help to improve your posture while you age. This month, challenge yourself to find a local Pilates class and try it out.

Always consult a physician before starting any exercise routine.

(We’ve given you 30 days for this Challenge to find a class and go. When you log your progress, you only need to log as many – or as few – days as you think are applicable.)
