Movement and energy, at all ages. Carlotta Gagna’s advice

Since 2019, Carlotta has helped over 200,000 women to feel beautiful: «After a degree in law, I realized that in life I wanted to do anything but completed me. Then I said to myself, Why not make fitness, my passion, a life and business project?». Thus, in 2019, Carlotta Gagna made the network of her community of strength and energy to the female. «Traditional training with weights could not complete me. This is how I discover the Pilates and start teaching it. It is born like this Trainingpink, A community that Today it has over 42,000 registered, almost all Italian women, from 20 to 70 years “.

The goal is «Fyou feel good, both physically and mentally. Wellness must be complete: If you are not well inside, you can’t feel good out ».

Trainingpink: an app, a female wellness project

The app, developed in Australia and strong of a team of 20 employees in Dubai, where Carlotta – creative mind that soul – together with her husband, live, propose 18 training courses supported by personalized nutrition protocols, including specific aspects such as the intermittent fasting and menstrual diary. “It’s not just an app to train, It is a 360 ° wellness project».

The heart of the concept remains the movement: “The Pilates Classico follows the original sequence of its founder, Joseph Hubertus Pilates, but dates back to 1883, and risks long, to be monotonous. Traininginpink proposes a more contemporary, more dynamic and cursing versiondisappointed in beyond 2000 training, with sessions that propose Up to 60-70 different exercises. And a week of free trial with which to understand if it really is for you ».

The body is our best friend, always: «Mat Pilates is practiced at home, that is, on the mat, without machinery. It is often more difficult, because you only work with your weight, but using it optimally. Pilates is also a modular discipline, it can be rehabilitation but also extremely challenging. With me, We work on fluidity, breath and mental presence. In 30 minutes of session without pauses, you enter a flow that becomes a sort of dance: there is no room for distractions. And afterwards, you feel really energetic».

Le Perennials, magnificently over

Six years ago, Isabella and Marilli were two splendid ladies “Over 60”, how they define themselves. A random encounter has united them and since then they have never separated. Both born in 1959, they found themselves celebrating the 60 years Two days away from each other.

Noting a generic absence of representation for women over 50 on social media, They decide to put their face on it and tell each other on Instagram. Thus was born the Perennials project: «With irony and spontaneity, We show how we can live with energy, style and lightness even after the “doors”. Surprisingly, our most loyal audience consists of very young girls! ».

Pilates and long daily walks – from 5 to 10 km – are the secret of beauty and benzealso mental, of the two Perennials: «The movement It is more than a workout, It’s life. At our age, it is also essential to have a teacher or a guide who follows you and reasons: it’s not like going to the psychologist, but almost! ».

Remain motivated, a challenge for all

Carlotta also insists on the fundamental point of the motivation, which often risks fading. “We need to build a habit. Even only 15-30 minutes a day can make a difference. It is better to start gradually, and not immediately jump into a too advanced course. Generally, 2-3 sessions from 30 minutes per week is needed to improve your physical form. For those who are not very constant, rather, better a small short training, but every day: the important thing is to face the small challenge every day, even for 15 minutes, And prove that you can do it ».

Improve, at all ages

Carlotta says that the starting point of the Project was a criticism received from the web: «I have always suffered from water retention and cellulite, As a personal trainer, they told me I wasn’t credible. So I worked a lot, and today I say: Let’s accept ourselves without stopping improving us. We must not be satisfied, but take care of ourselves with love ».

The perennials agree: «To remain curious, attend young people, get out of the comfort area, stay in motion, keep the brain on: these are our secrets to always feel alive. Even at 60 you can and must continue to grow ».
