Reformer Pilates is important in preventing Alzheimer's disease due to its comprehensive approach to improving both physical and mental health in a single session. Through improvements in cognitive functioning, stress and anxiety reduction, and promoting neurogenesis, Reformer Pilates is useful in maintaining brain health and potentially delay the onset of Alzheimer's disease. Moreover, the physical benefits such as improved strength, flexibility, coordination and balance contribute to overall health, which is crucial in preventing the decline associated with Alzheimer's.
Reformer Pilates has been shown to enhance cognitive functioning by increasing blood flow to the brain. Controlled movements and breathing techniques used in Reformer Pilates improve circulation throughout the body, including to the brain. Better blood flow delivers more oxygen and nutrients to brain cells and support cognitive function by promoting the formation of neurons and neurotransmitters, and lengthening neuron life. These improvements overtime can enhance executive functioning, learning, and memory, which are crucial for Alzheimer's patients.
Alzheimer's patients often suffers from behavioural symptoms of Alzheimer's such as mood disturbances and higher stress levels as they cope with not only the effects Alzheimer's but also how it impacts their life and relationships with others. Stress and anxiety can exacerbate cognitive decline. Regular Reformer Pilates classes can significantly improve overall robust nervous system and mood by reducing anxiety, fatigue and alleviating symptoms of depression. The controlled movements of reformer Pilates cultivates peace and slows down raging thoughts, helping Reformer Pilates practitioners leaving Pilates classes feeling invigorated and accomplished.
The practice of Reformer Pilates requires concentration, coordination, and the learning of new movement patterns – all happening within a Pilates class. This cognitive engagement can stimulate brain activity and improve mental functions such as attention, memory, and executive function. The mental challenge of mastering Pilates exercises can provide cognitive stimulation that is beneficial for brain health.
Reformer Pilates is quite an multi-tasker in terms of achieving both physical benefits on top of mental benefits. Reformer Pilates not only strengthens core muscles, enhances functional movements, improves posture, but also builds overall flexibility, coordination and balance.
Moreover, the low-impact nature of Reformer Pilates, combined with the supportive design of the reformer machine, reduces strain on the joints while still providing effective resistance training. The reformer machine also allows for precise adjustments in resistance, accommodating a wide range of fitness levels and providing a scalable challenge as strength improves. This is useful for multiple population types such as elderly, the inactive, those who suffered from physical issues as such osteoporosis, as well as those who are nursing injuries to start exercising. They can also progress at their own pace efficiently.
These physical benefits can help Alzheimer's patients maintain mobility, ensure independence in daily activities for longer periods of time and reduce the risk of falls, which is essential for their overall well-being.
Participating in Reformer Pilates classes provides opportunities for consistent social interaction and relationship building, which is crucial for maintaining cognitive function and emotional well-being in Alzheimer's patients. There are many heartwarming stories where one builds a supportive group of friends who come to weekly Pilates classes together, then proceed to lunches or dinners and later discover other hobbies such as hikes, pet care or even Art Jamming Workshops. Social engagement has been shown to have a protective effect against cognitive decline and can improve the quality of life for Alzheimer's patients.
Group classes also provide opportunities to learn from others. Observing how fellow participants perform exercises can offer valuable insights and encourage personal improvement. This shared learning experience can foster a sense of connection and mutual support among class members. The collective energy and motivation in a group setting can also inspire participants to push themselves harder and stay committed to their fitness goals, especially those who face difficulties in sticking to a new exercise regimen.
Reformer Pilates promotes neurogenesis, the creation of new brain cells (neurons) in the hippocampus which is the area in the brain responsible for memory and cognitive function. Reformer Pilates not only help to create new brain cells but also protects existing ones. By doing Pilates regularly, you will experience increased production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a compound that supports the survival and growth of neurons.
Enhanced brain plasticity can help slow down or even reverse the brain shrinkage associated with aging and Alzheimer's disease that typically begins in our late 20s, thereby improving brain function and reducing the risk of Alzheimer's disease and other memory
Unique characteristics of Reformer Pilates classes that provide both physical and mental benefits for Alzheimer's patients make it a valuable part of an overall strategy for maintaining brain health. Here are some specific instances where Reformer Pilates are superior to other forms of physical activities:
Reformer Pilates exercises are gentle on the joints, making it accessible to older or injured adults who may have difficulty with high-impact exercises.
The focus required to perform Pilates movements correctly while on a moving surface such as Reformer can provide mental stimulation and meditative effects, which are important for cognitive health and yet usually neglected.
Reformer Pilates exercises can be easily modified to suit different fitness levels and physical limitations, allowing for consistent exercise as one ages.
Pilates engages multiple muscle groups and incorporates both strength, flexibility and coordination training, providing a comprehensive form of exercise that supports overall health.
The focus on coordinating breathing with movement in Pilates not only helps focus but also improve oxygenation which is important in maintaining brain health.
While Reformer Pilates is an excellent way for Alzheimer's patients to start exercising and is a valuable component of a brain-healthy lifestyle, it is important to highlight that individuals should consult with their healthcare providers before starting any new exercise regimen, especially those with existing health conditions.
Recent research has shown that Alzheimer's may start as young as in your 20s. It is not an old person’s disease, in fact, it is a disease that take many years to form with effects exaggerating in one’s elderly years.
While there is no specific age at which one should start Reformer Pilates for optimal Alzheimer's prevention, beginning a regular exercise routine early in life can have long-term benefits for brain health.
Starting Reformer Pilates in your 20s or 30s helps you to establish a strong foundation of physical fitness, flexibility, coordination and core strength. As Reformer Pilates is relatively easy to pick up and the positive effects makes it quite addictive for regular practice, starting Reformer Pilates classes early make it easier for young, busy adults to maintain an active lifestyle as they age.
Early adulthood often comes with stress from career and personal life. Reformer Pilates can be an effective way to manage stress and burnout, which is beneficial for long-term cognitive health.
Middle age is a critical period for maintaining physical health and preventing the onset of chronic conditions that can increase the risk of Alzheimer's, such as hypertension, diabetes, and obesity. This is a period where one is juggling multiple roles and time is usually the excuse for not sticking to a regular exercise. Since Reformer Pilates is a full body workout in 60 minutes, it is perfect for time-starved individuals to start an exercise regimen.
Besides, the cognitive demands of learning and performing Reformer Pilates exercises is also a gentle, interesting way to keep the brain engaged and slow cognitive decline.
Older adults tend to be much more apprehensive in starting a exercise routine. Since Reformer Pilates can be easily adapted to different fitness levels, it is a gentle introduction to a regular exercise routine for the elderly. Reformer Pilates can maintain cognitive function and physical mobility, both of which are important for reducing the risk of Alzheimer's.
Participating in group classes can provide social interaction and most importantly, provide motivation for one to continue regular classes, which is important for emotional and cognitive health.
While there is no definitive "optimal" age to start Reformer Pilates for Alzheimer's prevention, incorporating it into your routine at any age can contribute to overall physical and cognitive health. The earlier you start, the more likely you are to build and maintain the habits that support long-term brain health. Two areas are important to consider regardless of your age:
• Consistency is Key: It is important to be able to practice Pilates regularly – at least two to three times a week for a period of three to six months.
• Consult Healthcare Providers: Before starting any new exercise regimen, especially for older adults or those with existing health conditions, it is important to consult with healthcare providers to ensure the exercises are safe and appropriate for your current state.
It's important to note that while all forms of exercise generally offer cognitive benefits, the specific advantages can vary. Here's a comparison of Reformer Pilates with other exercises:

While all forms of exercise offer cognitive benefits, the most effective choice depends on individual factors such as age, fitness level, personal preferences, and specific cognitive goals. Reformer Pilates offers a unique combination of strength training, flexibility work, and cognitive engagement that may be particularly beneficial for individuals who are unable to perform high intensity work and prefer a more social setting. Let’s explore some fitness goals more closely below:
1. Intensity: Gym workouts and sports often involve higher intensity exercises, which can lead to greater improvements in cardiovascular health and potentially more significant increases in BDNF production. This may not be suitable for those nursing injuries, inactive individuals or elderly.
2. Mind-Body Connection: Reformer Pilates, yoga, and tai chi have a stronger emphasis on the mind-body connection, which may provide unique cognitive benefits related to body awareness and mindfulness.
3. Accessibility: Jogging and some sports are generally more accessible than Reformer Pilates, which requires specialized equipment and instruction.
4. Social Interaction: Team sports provide the most direct social interaction, which is beneficial for cognitive health, especially in older adults followed by group classes.
5. Cognitive Engagement: Sports and Reformer Pilates may offer higher levels of cognitive engagement due to the complexity of movements and need for strategic thinking and precise control.
6. Impact on Joints: Reformer Pilates, yoga, and tai chi are low-impact exercises, making them potentially more suitable for individuals with joint issues or older adults.
7. Stress Reduction: Yoga and Reformer Pilates may have a more significant impact on stress reduction due to their meditative components, although all forms of exercise can help reduce stress.
Reformer Pilates offers a holistic approach to health that can significantly benefit Alzheimer's patients and play a preventive role against the disease. It's important to note that while Reformer Pilates may offer these potential benefits, it should not be considered a cure or primary treatment for Alzheimer's disease. Rather, it could be viewed as a complementary approach to support overall health to potentially slow cognitive decline.
Taking a walk in nature is an inexpensive and accessible form of exercise that has been shown to provide several health benefits such as:
Singapore may be small, but there are plenty of parks and nature reserves to explore! We’ve prepared a list of Top 15 Parks To Explore And Bond With Your Loved Ones below:
Not sure what to do this weekend? Enjoy the benefits of nature and take a walk in the park with your loved ones! Don't forget to gear up with a proper pair of running shoes, umbrella/poncho in case of wet weather, natural insect repellent such as citronella oil and lotsa water.
Rotation of the body is used often in our daily lives, e.g. turning towards your bedside to shut your phone alarm in the morning, turning to talk to someone behind you, or even turning to get the toilet paper in the loo. Since we rotate the spine frequently and unconsciously every day, why is it important to strengthen our obliques in rotation?
To answer this question, let's first take a deeper look at the muscles involved in a spinal rotation:
Transverse abdominis are the abdominal muscles closest to our spine and organs, often referred affectionately by Pilates Instructors as TA. TA is THE MUSCLE that Pilates instructors are cueing you to engage in all Pilates movements. This is the most important CORE MUSCLE in your body. When you activate the transverse abdominis during movements, your tummy becomes flatter in engagement as the transverse abdominis tightens and press downwards towards your spine, thereby stabilising your spine and providing support.
Rectus abdominis or the six-pack are the abdominal muscles furthest from your spine and closest to your skin. Hence when it is toned, the definition is very obvious. Rectus abdominis is the muscle that we are discouraging you to activate during Pilates movements. When you engage the rectus, your tummy bulges up in a small hill and your transverse abdominis will be relaxed.
In the article, we will be focusing on External Obliques and Internal Obliques.
Contracting the external obliques rotates the trunk toward the opposite side, as seen in the Bicycle Crunch below:
On the other hand, the internal obliques flexes and rotates the trunk towards the same side, like in a side plank:
Doing these 2 exercises daily (with a combination of the right diet and cardio exercise) will definitely strengthen your core and tone up your obliques. If you're not sure how toned obliques look like, it's the 2 lines at the side of the 8 pecs that this hunky man is pointing to:
Having firm obliques not only looks good, but also supports the back and overall posture. This helps prevent injuries and pain especially associated with the lower back and shoulders.
When we twist our torso, the muscles in our core, shoulders and back simultaneously contracts and lengthens on each side. However, it's common to lead a rotation from the shoulders rather than further down the spine, especially for desk-bound workers who have a lot of tightness in their neck and shoulders due to prolonged sitting in front of the computer.
Here's the correct way to twist the spine while seated upright:
First, ground the hips evenly on both sides. Lengthen your back from the bottom of the spine all the way up to the top of the head. (Picture A)
Then, reach the opposite ribcage forwards as you begin to rotate the other ribcage back, growing taller as you twist. Your pelvis will be stationary and facing square forward. Rotation comes from ribcage movement and not shoulder or pelvis movement. (Picture B)
Tip: Allow the shoulders to follow spinal rotation rather than to lead spinal rotation.
Repeatedly rotating the spine the wrong way might result in weak and unresponsive obliques. The back muscles start to compensate for the lack of abdominal work, causing a lack of support on the spine (bad posture). In the long run, you might start to feel tightness and compression on the lower back area due to an excessive anterior pelvic tilt.
If this posture is not corrected, the degeneration of the spinal discs may occur, resulting in chronic pain. You can read more about the dangers of having an excessive anterior pelvic tilt here.
Having correct spinal rotation patterns also increases flexibility in the thoracic spine (upper and mid back), which helps to release nagging aches and pains in the shoulders and neck.
Now that you know the benefits of improving the way you rotate your body, here are some tips to perform this month's rotational flow better:
Do each of the exercises 8 - 10 times for each side. It will take you 5 - 8 minutes. You should do it on the floor with the support of a Yoga/Pilates mat or a soft towel on a carpeted floor. These exercises should not be performed on the bed! You can do these exercises first thing in the morning to increase flexibility of your spine or at the end of the day to stretch out those tired muscles.
Besides looking good, strong abdominals or strong core helps you to maintain optimal alignment of your body, reducing body aches and pains, and ensure you can go about your daily activities with ease.
[qode_simple_quote text_title_tag="h3" author_title_tag="h5" simple_quote_text="If your core is weak, nothing else can be strong." simple_quote_author="Justin Maguire"]
Here are several important reasons why your strong abdominals matters:
Strong abdominal muscles, particularly the deep transverse abdominis, provide stability and support to your spine. This helps maintain proper posture and alignment, reducing strain on the back muscles and preventing chronic back pain. Strong transverse abdominis are particularly important for those with slipped disc, degenerative disc disease or scoliosis.
Your core muscles act as a stabilizing force for your entire body, allowing you to perform movements efficiently and with better control. Strong abs contribute to overall stability, balance, and coordination, reducing the risk of falls or injuries during daily activities or sports.
For athletes, powerful abdominal muscles provide a solid foundation for generating power, transferring energy effectively, and maintaining proper body mechanics during dynamic movements like running, jumping, throwing, or weightlifting. A strong core maximizes athletic potential and reduces injury risk.
Strong abs make everyday tasks like bending, lifting, pushing, or carrying objects easier by providing the necessary support and stability. This reduces strain on other muscles and joints, making daily activities more efficient and less physically taxing.
Weak abs can lead to imbalances and excessive stress on the spine and surrounding structures. A strong core acts as a protective shield, stabilizing the spine and preventing injuries. It also plays a vital role in rehabilitation after injuries like lower back pain or even preventing issues such as knee pain.

If you have lower back pain, then lateral flexion (also known as side bend) exercises are the best exercises for lower back pain.
Lateral flexion of the trunk (also know as side bend) is a movement that is rarely used in our day-to-day activities. Yet, go to any type of fitness class and you will find side bend stretches included for almost all warm-up and cool down routines.
This is because side bends help to improve lumbo-pelvic stability, provides lower back pain relief and trim your love handles. An unstable lumbo-pelvic area will lead to acute lower back injury, sharp lower back pain, spinal disc degeneration or even knee pain issues as the force from the feet is unable to travel up the whole spine.
Imagine if you stomp your feet hard on the ground and that force generated by the stomp get stuck in your lower back area instead of being cushioned by every vertebrae of your spine as the force travels up from ankle, knees, pelvis, lower back and upper back. You will experience lower back pain simply due to excessive pressure created when we walk or sit. The lower back vertebrae may also degenerate faster than other parts of the spine due to excessive erosion of specific lower back vertebrae when that pressure is unable to travel up to the upper spine.
A deep side bend also helps to open up the sides of your ribs, thereby allowing you to breathe deeper into the lower lobes of the lungs instead of shallow breathing. Shallow breathing may create tension in the neck and shoulders.
What muscles are involved in a side bend exercise that makes lateral flexion so important?
Last month, we covered the importance of having strong obliques and proper rotation patterns. Our focus for this month is on Lateral Flexion of the torso.
The primary muscles used in a side bend are: External/Internal Obliques, Quadratus Lumborum and the Erector Spinae.
Quadratus Lumborum (QL) are muscles located deep in the sides of the lower back. Contracting one side of the QL results in a side bend, while contracting both sides of the QL muscle results in a spinal extension. The QL plays an important role in the stability of the lumbo-pelvic area as it connects the pelvis to the spine.
Erector Spinae (Spinalis Group) is a group of muscles that extends vertically up the length of your back, and are involved in both lateral flexion and spinal extension. Weakness/tightness in the Erector Spinae may result in overworking the QL muscles to pick up the slack, hence resulting in back pain. If left untreated in the long run, shoulder pain and kyphosis may also occur due to tightness in the QL, erector spinae and obliques.
Our body always tries its best to perform any movement we want. However, performing the movement correctly visually does not necessarily means that the right muscles are used to do the job. Any muscle compensation will lead to imbalances and ended up with back pain or knee pain.
Remember, your muscle is painful because it is overworked, not because it is weak! The overworked muscle is often the stronger muscle. If you push the stronger and painful muscle to work further, it will lead to injury or a total breakdown (sprain or tear) - so that it do not need to work anymore (same goes for our mind!). Hence, to relieve any painful muscle, you have to train the weaker muscle to start working to reduce load on the painful (and stronger) muscle. Once the weaker muscles tone up and share the load, the stronger and painful muscle will learn to work less and the ache will naturally go away! It's almost like magic.
HOW CAN FLEXION OR SIDE BEND EXERCISES HELP ME?
Flexion helps to stretch and stabilise jumbo-pelvic area and relieve issues such as:
1. Tightness in your lower back that may lead to lower back pain
2. Acute lower back injury (eg some people can sprain their lower back with just a hard sneeze!)
3. Chronic lower back pain aka pain that is always there but cannot be diagnosed with MRI or Xray. Doctors will tell you, your back is fine. However, you know it is not fine since it is always sore! 🙁
4. Accelerate spinal disc degeneration. An unstable lumbo-pelvic area means an unstable spine and you may be excessively moving only particular vertebrae thereby causing premature spinal disc degeneration. A stable lumbo-pelvic area utilise the whole spine to perform the movement instead of only a few specific vertebrae
5. Knee pains - when the force from the ground (as you walk or jog) travels upwards from feet to ankles to knees to lower back and get “stuck” at the lower back area due to unstable jumbo-pelvic area, the force shoots right back to the knee instead of being cushioned by vertebrae of the entire spine. This is usually described as knee pain after a jog. If the jumbo-pelvic area is stable, the force travels up from lower back and cushioned up all the way to the upper back, thereby reducing pressure on any particular joint.
A basic stretch you can do daily at home is the seated mermaid.
If mermaid seating is uncomfortable for you, perform this exercise in a cross-legged seated position instead.
To strengthen the muscles involved in lateral flexion, try the side plank:
If you find it difficult to balance with the legs stacked, bring the top leg forwards on the mat instead to increase stability.
Simply take 5 mins a day to do these 2 exercises daily (6-8 reps on each side) to increase lateral spinal flexibility and strength, and eventually build a better posture!
