Pilates Evolution - The 21st Century (Paperback) newly tagged "health"

Much has changed in the 21st Century since 1934 when Joseph Pilates wrote his first book (Your Health) about fitness and health. In 1945, he followed up that first expression of fitness theories and principles with his detailed and definitive book of exercises, Return to Life through Contrology. Both of these original books were copyrighted and republished by us, and have now received new updates for the 21st Century. This book is the natural evolution of his original work, elucidating, expanding on, and demonstrating where Pilates' fitness is moving currently.

Inside this new book, Pilates Evolution:

- Joe's original, copyrighted exercise photograph sequences, poses and instructions from his original writings, and fundamental to his exciting fitness program.

- Joe's original words enunciating his very personal Twentieth Century philosophies, principles, and theories about health and fitness.

- The very latest in 21st Century modifications, methodology, and enhancements to Pilates exercises, using variations in body positioning, balancing, centering, and aligning, both with and without additional exercise props.

Joseph Pilates based his work on the concept of a balanced body and mind and on the approach espoused by the early Greeks. New practitioners of Pilates' forms and exercises in the 21st Century continue to expand upon this earlier work by presenting a variety of creative new approaches involving circular movements, standing postures, and core strengthening exercises using props such as tubes, weights, poles, bands, magic circles, mini-balls, stability balls, foam rollers and more.

Joseph Pilates has been nothing short of revolutionary in his impact on the world of fitness and exercise. You will learn in this book his original observations and conclusions about people's approach to physical fitness. He describes the results of decades of scientific study, experimentation and research into the variety of troubles and ills that upset the balance of body and mind. You will also learn every single one of his original 34 mat exercises taught to his own students.

Living testimony to the validity of his own teachings, Joseph Pilates shares in these writings his fundamental tenets of posture, body mechanics, correct breathing, spinal flexibility, physical education, and his law of natural exercises. It is a fascinating look into Pilates' original thinking and represents the foundation of an entire discipline embraced by fitness enthusiasts, health educators, and exercise trainers around the world.

How To Give a Shit About Your Health: Straight-up advice for getting healthy, fit, and energized for life (Kindle Edition) newly tagged "health"

Owner and head fitness nut at Ki Health & Fitness in Vancouver, BC, Karina Inkster is a certified personal trainer with a Master's degree in Gerontology, specializing in health and aging.

Karina has been weight training, swimming, running, cycling, and power yoga-ing her way to fitness since 2003. Karina deals with a potentially life-threatening allergic condition which prohibits her from training after having eaten within 8 hours, in case a food triggers a serious allergic reaction when coupled with exercise. She also faces severe seasonal allergies and asthma that limit her activity for 5 months each year, as well as weekly allergy shots after which she can't train - again due to anaphylaxis risk. Yet, with careful planning and unwavering dedication, she trains consistently 6 days per week (even while in full time graduate school and working 3 jobs).

Karina understands the many challenges involved in maintaining an active lifestyle, and aims to live by example in overcoming her own obstacles. She helps clients to enjoy working out, and to fit regular exercise into their busy lives.

When she's not lifting weights, swimming, running, working with clients, or writing, Karina plays Australian didgeridoo and piano, designs and creates jewelry, makes paper art with Origami and paper filigree (a.k.a. quilling), or cranks up her favourite reggae music.

Smart Health Digital Pedometer Heart Rate Watch (Sports) newly tagged "health"

Have you ever driven past one of those automated radar-measuring "Your Speed Is:" signs on a neighborhood road? Why put a sign telling you your speed, but not a cop writing tickets? Why does the Prius tell you your MPG dynamically why you drive? It's all about feedback. People drive slower in neighborhoods with speed signs and they drive more fuel efficiently when their car tells them their performance.

Pedometers have exploded in popularity in recent years, with everything from cheap giveaways (from fast food restaurants no less) to GPS-based dynamic sports trackers costing hundreds of dollars. The idea is the same as the signs in your neighborhood or fuel efficiency in your Prius - feedback. By seeing how many steps you take, it encourages you to walk more and live a more active lifestyle.

The Smart Health watch is a great idea - following the "Start Walking!" guide of Denise Austin, it encourages even the most sedentary people to get moving. Many reviewers here are panning the watch, and I'll get to that soon, but what it does is offer an affordable entry level product into the world of biofeedback.

Now on to the watch itself - this is a product worth what you pay, about $40. It is certainly not as attractive of a sports watch as the Timex Men's T5J571 1440 Sport Digital Resin Strap Watch. It has a big black plastic face, plastic buttons, and a really 1980's looking LCD display. It is fairly easy to set, but does not have many functions typical of sports watches like a stop watch, alarms, or calendar. It does have a nice backlight that is reminiscent of Timex Indiglo.

The watch counts steps and reports total distance walked and calories burned. It also measures heartbeat on demand by pushing a silver button. The heartbeat monitor works quite well and I might just keep the watch around for that capability - it's nice to get a quick pulse during a workout, walk, or even a bike ride.

There is some advanced setup - you can input your age, gender, height, and weight to adjust the calorie calculation. You can also adjust the step sensitivity between low, medium, and high, in case you feel it is under or overcounting steps.

Unlike other pedometers, there is no way to adjust stride length, but the manual says it does it automatically. I'm not sure about this - the accuracy seemed suspect compared to using a walking application on my iPhone with the GPS.

The watch also comes with a 30-day trial of Denise Austin's website, and a guide on how to get started walking.

The main downside of the watch looking drab and lacking other features is that you won't wear it all day, and likely will only put it on to go walking, defeating the idea of the walking lifestyle where you try to add steps all day in as many ways as you can (such as parking far away from the store). I suspect most will just put the watch on before leaving for a walk.

Other reviewers have noted the watch is difficult to rate, and I agree. My review says it all, but if I were to boil it down, I'd have to say 4 stars. The low price is indicative of the quality you will get. To earn 5 stars, I'd like to see it at least add a few more features similar to other low-cost sports watches and also improve the all-plastic look. Bottom line - when you get more into it, you will buy a better watch. But the market needs entry products, and this is a fine one for that purpose.
