Actually, I work at a rental car office. My main duties involve taking reservations and processing paperwork, so I spend most of my day sitting in front of a computer. As a result, I’ve noticed my lower back and hips sagging out sideways. Whenever I wear pants, my thighs feel tight, and I frequently experience stiffness in my lower back when sitting down or standing up.

After work, I order dinner, watch Netflix, and go to sleep. I’ve also developed a habit of choosing large portions when eating alone, and I find myself drinking a can of beer two or three times a week. Since passing my mid-30s, I can definitely feel my circulation slowing down, and I feel like my constitution is deteriorating. I started wondering if I should start an exercise like Mat Pilates. I used to run for a short time, but I stopped because my knees hurt, and I haven't exercised at all for two years since then. So, I looked into Mat Pilates, which places less strain on the joints. I heard that it can be done without putting too much strain on the knees, so I thought about trying it to strengthen my lower back and lower body, but I wasn't sure if I could do it consistently on my own. I've looked up mat Pilates home workout videos, but I have no idea where to start, and honestly, I don't have the confidence to stick with it for long just on willpower, so I can't make a decision. If there are other methods suitable for this situation besides mat Pilates, I would appreciate it if you could let me know. I would be happy if those who have had similar concerns could leave their honest experiences in the comments. Please also share reviews if you have tried mat Pilates!
