Yoga and Pilates won't get you in shape
I'm going to say something that might annoy a few people.
Yoga and Pilates are not going to get you into better shape.
They're great for:
Moving better
Feeling less stiff
Switching your brain off for an hour
But they won't build muscle. And after 35, muscle is the thing you're losing every single year unless you do something about it.
That's what changes your shape.
That's what keeps your metabolism ticking.
That's what keeps you strong enough to carry the shopping without making noises.
So keep the yoga if you love it. Obviously. Just don't make it your only thing.
Lift something heavy. 3 times a week. That's where the change happens.
Comment STRONG and I'll show you where to start.
