Pilates is valuable. But Pilates and strength training are not interchangeable — especially as we get older.

Pilates can improve balance, flexibility, body control and physical function. In a meta-analysis of 39 studies in adults 60+, Pilates improved balance, strength, flexibility and functional performance compared with control conditions.

But when the goal is preserving and building muscle and bone, progressive resistance becomes particularly important.

A 2022 systematic review of Pilates and bone health found only 3 eligible randomized trials in postmenopausal women and found no statistically significant improvement in bone mineral density at the lumbar spine, total hip or femoral neck. The researchers also emphasized that the evidence base was small and limited in quality.

Compare that with resistance training: a 2023 network meta-analysis included 19 studies and 919 postmenopausal women and found that moderate-intensity resistance training significantly improved lumbar-spine and femoral-neck bone mineral density compared with control.

And a newer meta-analysis of 17 randomized trials involving 690 women found significant benefits of resistance training for bone mineral density at the lumbar spine, femoral neck and total hip.

The takeaway isn’t Pilates OR strength training.

It’s understanding what each tool does best.

Pilates builds control.
Strength training builds your capacity to handle progressively greater loads.

After 40, keep the mobility. Keep the control.
But don’t leave progressive strength behind.

Save this for the woman who thinks Pilates alone covers everything. đź’Ş
