My dad lives in a community for senior citizens and there’s an indoor pool. We were at the pool today. I played with my son there, but when my wife got in the pool, I thought, eh what the hell, let me do some laps and see how long I can go for. I went for 30 minutes and could have gone for a lot longer, I just wanted to be smart and quit while I was ahead and not risk injury. This is 1000% thanks to Pilates and having such improved physical fitness. I’ve been practicing since May 2025. I do mat at home mostly. I practice between 3-4 times per week. I found swimming to be extremely complementary to Pilates – it engages the posterior chain, you have to use a ton of core strength, and your limbs lengthen and stretch as you go.
