Pilates will help strengthen your core mucles including those in your back.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I discovered a great exercise system a few years go.\u00a0 It’s called Pilates and it strengthens your core muscles and improves your elasticity.<\/p>\n

You can get a terrific\u00a0 introduction to Pilates in the book\u00a0 Pilates for Beginners<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I have this book.\u00a0 It served as my introduction to Pilates. I highly recommend it.<\/p>\n

I first discovered Pilates a couple of years ago when I strained my lower back.\u00a0\u00a0 Since practicing Pilates, my back has become quite strong and resilient…until a few day ago.<\/p>\n

Suffice to say, I slacked off a bit on my Pilates exercises and WHAM!\u00a0 I strained my lower back.\u00a0 And it didn’t take much.<\/p>\n

Point is, if you’re like me and spend a lot of time in front of the computer or behind a desk, you need to get some physical activity. (As soon as my back heals, I’m starting my Pilates program again. this blog post will serve as a constant reminder!)\u00a0 And physical activity not only recharges our batteries, but helps in shaking out the cobwebs so we can get back in a creative mood.<\/p>\n

Pilates is a terrific exercise method.\u00a0 It challenges your muscles and requires constant mental focus.\u00a0 It’s important to keep form during the movements in order to achieve the optimum results.<\/p>\n

All you need to get started is your own person and a piece of floor\/mat to do the various moves.<\/p>\n

The cost is next to nil. Pick up the book at amazon.com<\/a>\"\" or the local library, get on your workout clothes, and you’re ready to go!\u00a0 No health club membership required!<\/p>\n

And, please remember, check with your doctor to make sure you are able to undertake <\/strong>any exercise routine.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
