NOW this title might sound very strange coming from someone who runs a Pilates business. However, you know me, I like to be a little different and I love a challenge. So when, at a recent Pilates convention (yes – they exist and they’re fun thank you JPilates) I sat…
MANY years ago, homo sapiens wandered the earth, creating communities and surviving by hunting and gathering. There were no laptops, desk jobs, PDAs or tablets. The head and shoulders of the average man sat squarely on his shoulders. Today, in an era of technology and sedentariness, the average man’s head…
I’m starting with a little rant. Sit ups, crunches and ab curls, call them what you will, are possibly the worst exercise choice you could make after having a baby. Unfortunately, large organisations like Bounty are still recommending sit ups as a tried and tested way of getting a flat…
