I want to talk to you today about something simple, gentle and incredibly powerful: lifting light weights — yes, even just 2kg! If you’re over 60 (like me!), your body is changing, and the way we move needs to support that.
If you’ve ever thought, “I’m not strong enough for weights,” or “Aren’t they just for bodybuilders?” — let me stop you right there. I’m here to show you how light weights can change the way you feel, move and live.
🌟 Here’s Why It Matters:
1. You’re losing muscle every year — unless you do something about it
After 60, we naturally begin to lose muscle mass. This makes everyday things like lifting shopping bags or climbing stairs feel harder. But we can slow that down — or even reverse it — with a little bit of strength work.
And no, it doesn’t take hours at the gym. Just a pair of 2kg weights and a simple Pilates routine can make all the difference.
2. It keeps your joints happy and healthy
Weights don’t just build muscle — they also support your joints, which is amazing if you’re dealing with knee or shoulder niggles. I’ve seen so many women feel more confident and pain-free by simply adding resistance to their movement.
3. Bones need resistance too!
We don’t talk about bone health enough, but we should. Especially with the risk of osteopenia or osteoporosis increasing after menopause.
Using light weights safely in Pilates helps strengthen bones and keep them resilient — naturally.
4. Confidence in your body starts with strength
There’s something powerful about feeling strong — in your arms, your core, your legs. My clients often say, “I feel taller, lighter, and stronger!” after a few sessions.
And that’s exactly what I want for you, too.
