Pilates vs. walking: which boosts senior health more?

This study looked at whether Pilates exercises can improve core strength, lung function, and overall fitness in healthy older adults aged 60 to 77. Twenty-nine participants were split into three groups: one did Pilates, one walked on a treadmill, and one kept their normal routine. Both exercise groups trained for 60 minutes, three times a week, for 8 weeks. The goal was to find simple ways for seniors to stay independent and feel better day-to-day.
