Pilates - fitness fad or phenomenon
The benefits of Pilates
Some of the benefits you will achieve by performing Pilates regularly include:
• Improved strength, flexibility and balance
• Strengthening of the deep abdominal muscles (the core)
• Reduced risk of back pain and injury
• Reduced stress and tension
• Improved posture and circulation
• Improved bone density and joint health
• Improved mobility and agility
• Improved mental and physical wellbeing.
Who can benefit from Pilates?
Pilates is a form of strength and flexibility training that can be done by women and men of all ages, fitness levels and abilities. Most movements can be modified and adapted to suit individual needs, including people with limited movement. Pilates can be especially tailored to suit the needs of athletes, pregnant women, people suffering lower back pain, and those over 50 looking to maintain muscle tone and strength.
Getting started
Pilates can be taught in a number of ways, ranging from one-on-one instruction to large group classes. Sessions usually last from 45 minutes to an hour, and may be practiced on floor mats, fit balls, or on specifically designed pieces of equipment called reformers. Each Pilates studio, gym or local hall will have its own unique focus and programs. Enquire about the level of certification and experience of the instructor before starting.

What should I get my mother for her birthday?
I'm really stumped as to what to get here, she's mentioned theatre tickets, but the next performance is November (I think), she's also mentioned a Wii Fit, but the Wii (+ Dance mat/fitness game) haven't been touched in almost a year, so I don't want to "waste" money on that.
She's really into fitness/losing weight at the moment. Any ideas?
Get her exactly what she asked you for regardless as to whether you think its wasting money. The woman gave you life. and get her a bouquet of roses just for being bad.
