Ep. 67: Are you training all muscle fiber types in your movement practice?

In this Episode

Aly explains why the answer to the question in the title isn’t a simple yes or no. Instead of fueling the comparisons between Pilates, strength training, and cardio, Aly reframes the conversation asking listeners the question: enough for what?

This episode invites you into a more nuanced, individualized understanding of movement. Aly explores how Pilates supports posture, joint health, endurance, and body awareness—while also being clear about what it doesn’t do on its own. She positions Pilates not as a competing system, but as a powerful foundation that helps everything else work better.

Rather than prescribing a single “right” way to move, Aly encourages listeners to assess their goals, season of life, and physical history, and she stresses that movement should adapt to you, not the other way around.
