I don't think you read my post.

I exercise no less than 5 hrs. a week.

MG is described as alternating muscle strength. Pilates is exercise. You can do ten curls with 20 lbs. weights one day but maybe not the next and you have accomplished nothing.

Pilates gives you weight resistance just like those 20 lbs. weights but you pull the bands in differant positions that also stretches your muscles and gives you more mobility. (flexibility) And that helps us a lot.

I am 67 years old and I also use a book " Stretches for seniors".

I have back problems but neuro and my physical therapist told me there is no
exercise that will develope my core muscles to help relieve the pain. Period.

I can stretch those muscles but have no controll over developing them and nobody with MG can. But stretching that does help with my pain.

Other than pilates, yoga would be perfect for us if we could balance.
