Why this 80-year-old client feels “younger day-by-day” by practicing STOTT PILATES® - 2020.01.26

77歳でピラティスをスタートして、80歳にしてできるエクササイズがますます増えているという韓国のクライアントのエピソードです。77歳にして新しいことにチャレンジして、筋肉痛にもくじけずに、やりぬくメンタルがすばらしいです！

そしてやはり、少しでも今より良くなりたければ、週に2回が最低限必要な頻度であり、毎日の復習が欠かせません。心も身体も毎日動かして整えてなんぼです。

旦那様が脳梗塞で半年間入院している間に、病院でのリハビリテーションで多くの患者が機能回復していく過程を見て、フィジカルアクティビティの重要性に気づき、ストットピラティスを選択したのだそうです。

『“I was ashamed when I became a widow, even though I was very old. I didn’t want to go outside for a long time,” she says. 』

素晴らしい気づきと向上心ですね！何歳になってもこうありたい！

Yoisoon Lee can execute a flawless STOTT PILATES^® Short Spine, Mermaid and Long Stretch on the Reformer— made all the more impressive by the fact that she only started practicing Pilates three years ago at the age of 77

She started taking private sessions twice a week with STOTT PILATES Certified Instructor and physical therapist, Heeju Choi.

Her first six months were tough: “I felt my whole body ache,” she says.

But eventually, by practicing diligently every day at home, she started getting stronger and more mobile.

“Now I feel like every cell in my body is laughing every moment,” she says.

“Pilates is in fashion in Korea these days and I’m not the only one my age doing it. Some of my friends also practice Pilates. We need well-trained instructors who teach the exercises safely, that is the most important point. There are a lot of reliable rehabilitation instructors who have been trained by Merrithew in the STOTT PILATES method,” she says.
