I made an amazing discovery a few weeks ago, and have been testing it out ever since. I actually thought that it was just a coincidence, but surprisingly (or not), Pilates actually works for so much more than just toning and weight loss. I have lately been suffering from what I will gingerly call "aging". Symptoms: muscle aches, stiffness, and "hurting all over". Because I did not feel a trip to the doctor was the answer, I started using a Pilates video that was collecting dust on the shelf. I noticed an improvement immediately! After only using the video for 20 minutes a day, the stiffness and aching subsided. I mean, totally! I'm not saying that this would work the same for everyone, but it sure convinced me that Pilates is my "miracle drug" for now. As a therapist, I ask myself, What is Pilates all about? Stretching, breathing, relaxing and tensing muscles. Seems a lot like Relaxation Therapy to me.

Good afternoon. I have a link to your blog from mine but never have commented before now. This particular post spoke to me because I'm experiencing the same aging-aches and am sick and tired of it. I have a dusty Pilates DVD somewhere that I'll have to try out. Thanks for the tip!
