Pilates at the Y ok

pilatesmum — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 22:39:58 +0000

I did make it to my first Pilates lesson in Houston. Needing to get my own body working again after a ten month break. Gosh I certainly could see where I need to place my focus! It is hard to adapt to a different style but it was good. Lesson had a flow. Perhaps not as much technical explanation as I have had in the past but certainly the teacher did correct a few people which in past lessons elsewhere has not been done at all! I have been to lessons where I have been told “oh we don’t worry about form here” I nearly died when I heard this but I decided to soldier on. I wanted so badly to jump up and shout “no don’t do it like that” or help the guy next to me who just could not stay balanced on his ball!

The two days prior to my recent class I hit my Yogaball AND my reformer then attended the mat class. Ok so that was a bit stupid as Saturday I kind of ached. The other thing that I noticed was that my muscles were cramping again down the outside of my legs. They used to do this in the good old days! So I am hoping that with regular practice will go away again.

Brain Tumours are on the increase please read this valuable info!

We know that cell phones cause a health risk. Not many of us are taking this issue seriously. Our children as young as four and five are chatting with dad and mum on the cell phone. I for example now have a “spare emergency” cell phone for my children to use when they are out playing with friends. My children are not old enough yet to realize that they could be on it for hours chatting with friends.

The research strongly suggests that brain tumours are on the increase and we need to take this serioulsy. I know that once upon a time there was concern that lap tops could cause infertillity in males….Anyway tell me what you think! Other countries are taking this very serioulsy indeed.

Cancer is a killer and we must do what we can to limit our chances.
