Roxanne Rogers
Age: 57
Years doing Pilates: 7
Why did you start doing Pilates?
curiosity- heard about it in the media and was into fitness
How do you see it impacting your daily life?
it has taught me how important my core is. i believe a strong core is the secret to a strong body and keeping my body in alignment. it has helped my knee tremendously!
What inspires you on the mat?
how much stronger and more flexible i have become. i used to think lifting heavy weights as the way to build muscle. using my own body weight and holding plank pose has created muscles that are leaner and i feel stronger. weight workouts are still good, however i mix them up with my Pilates and have less strain and injury.
What inspires you off the mat?
God first. Then all of the ladies and guys that i do Pilates with!
3 words you live by:
- treat others better than you treat yourself
- search for some form of joy every day.
- look for some sort of physical challenge to push your body. “Age is just a number”
