Pilates at Work
February 8th, 2010 admin
So many people avoid sneaking exercise into their day because they think that there is nothing they can do at the office. Several years ago I did a series of short morning segments for a Philadelphia morning TV show on ways to incorporate Pilates techniques at home and at the office. There are simple stretches and movements you can do on simple office furniture that can really make a difference. Try this: Sit on the edge of your chair with your feet planted on the floor and your back straight. Take a deep breath in as you raise your arms overhead. As you exhale drop your arms forward and started to roll forward (down your spine) until you chest is on your …

Adorable Puppy Explains Health Care...In which John offers a summary of the health care reform bill that just passed the US senate, discussing the insurance exchange market, pre-existing condition clauses, medicare taxes, and other fine points of the still-under-debate bill. Here's a good explanation of how the insurance exchanges will look like: bit.ly Thanks to Alan Lastufka ( youtube.com ) for the Ben Nelson asshat photo. About abortion: The senate plan works like this: Policies covering abortion would be available in the exchange market (at least in some states), but those plans would have to collect two separate premiums--one covering everything other than abortion, and one for abortion coverage. The subsidy (available to all families making less than about $88000 a year depending on number of kids) would only apply to the non-abortion policy. If this seems like a hilariously stupid distinction, that's because it is. Ultimately, it of course doesn't matter which policy the subsidy goes toward. But then again, every federal program "supports" abortion in some way. For instance, without federally funded highways, it would be impossible for most women to get abortions. All government spending indirectly goes to support all activity in America, but it's ridiculous to say that, for instance, food stamps encourage meth use, even though sometimes people trade meth for food they bought with food stamps. It's equally disingenuous to say that this bill will allow federal funding of abortions, unless you're willing to argue that all government spending funds abortion.

Angel arms is a Pilates fundamental exercise. It’s a little like making snow angels or flapping your arms like a bird.

That brings in some shoulder and core stabilizer muscles. Co-ordinate angel...
I was just cleaning up my workout area at home when I dug down into a container I keep balls, bands, and rings in.

I’ve been using the hand held toning balls a little more lately....
