Pilates Seen As Perfect Exercise Program
for Boomers
Princeton,
NJ -February 21, 2006 -- The hundred-year-old exercise
program called Pilates is experiencing a resurgence, especially
among fitness-conscious boomers, as people look for better
ways to stay fit, flexible and strong. Once considered a rather
arcane form of exercise practiced by only a dedicated few,
Pilates has become mainstream, with studios and classes offered
all across the country - from New York City to small towns
in Oklahoma.
While Pilates videos are available,
in order to learn how to do moves properly, most instructors
believe attending a class is definitely preferable. This
is especially true for those with some sort of physical
disability, whether temporary or permanent, or embarrassment
about how they look. Carol J. Buck, CEO of Xenna Corporation
(www.xenna.com ), a foot
care company, says, "There are so many health benefits that
come from the Pilates exercises. It's a perfect exercise
for boomer females because it keeps us slim without bulking
up, as weight-lifting exercises can, and takes a lot less
time than walking."
Getting started is the hardest part, confides Buck. "No
one should feel they have to avoid taking an exercise class
because they're embarrassed about how they look, or something
as minor as exposing their bare feet. Most of us just need
to lose a few pounds or address minor cosmetic problems
with effective products."
Xenna's NonyX® Nail Gel and CalleX® Callus and Dry Heel
Ointment are recommended by many podiatrists for women and
men with unattractive feet. "For discolored nails, I can
personally say that NonyX Gel is the answer. It took six
months," says Buck, "but my big toenails now look clear.
I'm really proud of the way my feet look and feel. I only
wish I were better at Pilates! Nevertheless, having attractive
feet helps me feel more graceful doing Pilates, even if
my legs aren't perfectly straight (yet)."
