Balance is a huge issue as we age. Don't be one who "has a fall", but some who has a strong sense of balance.
Doing posture & balance exercises is an important part of any pilates routine, in fact, it's the core of it. It's difficult to say here, just which muscles you need to strengthen, but if you do the Posture Check-up to the right, you will have a clearer idea yourself. You can then follow links to those exercises or stretches, whichever the case may be.

EVERYONE BENEFITS!!!The benfits of Pilates for both body and mind are immeasurable. Our body benefits with strengthening and stretching exercises. Our mind with clarity and mental strength. The mind body connection is crucial. As Joseph Pilates said -"It’is the mind that builds the body". Pilates will lengthen & tone muscle rather than bulk up. You'll be strong, flexible and curvy rather than bulky.
The ball offers such as enormous range of both strength exercises as well as the most fantastic stretches.
