Work is a pain in the neck.

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009


Literally. If you are like millions of other Americans, you sit in front of the computer for 99% of your day, stuck in a cube somewhere in Suburbiaville. Five days of this routine is not only draining on the psyche, but on the body too. Even the simple act of sitting can do harm on our necks, shoulders and backs. It’s enough to make you quit, but don’t. Instead, stir things up a bit. Literally.

If you apply the principles of Pilates to your workday and take just a few moments to move and stretch the body, you can do wonders for your stiff and angry muscles. It can be as easy as rolling out your shoulders or readjusting your posture. Take some tips from NeverSayDiet.com and start making small adjustments in between your keyboard taps and mouse clicks. Before long, you’ll start feeling the tension ease and release from where you feel it most. Plus, it’s better than taking your aggression out on your computer monitor…or that creepy co-worker with the Metallica breath. But he’s a different story.

Although it’s -20 below right now and the closest anybody is getting to lush fields of green and warm sunshine is through their TV set, let’s talk golf.

Pilates for Golf can help your golf game on and off the course. Pilates promotes control, discipline of smaller movements, better alignment, good posture and flexibility which are all very important to your golf game.

And hell, if it helps people like Tiger Woods and Rocco Mediate it may be worth a try.

Start on your training now and you’ll be better and stronger for your game this spring. Once your clubs thaw.

May I have your legs, Kate?

I generally don’t like the practice of comparing myself to the air-brushed-perfect-pictures of the celebs, nor do I want to be BFFs with the likes of Paris Hilton, but I couldn’t help stopping at this one. Ill take these legs anyday. Word on the street is it’s a result of a healthy diet and pilates.

I’d also take her co-star status with Mr. Leo, but that’s a different story all together.

For auld lang syne!
