Pilates - Breathing

Pilates breathing is a posterior lateral breathing, meaning when inhaling you breathe deep into the back and sides of your rib cage. At the same time as you exhale you feel the engagement of your deep abdominal and pelvic floor muscles and maintain this engagement as you inhale . It should be properly coordinated with movement. Each exercise is accompanied by breathing instructions.

Necessary Health Tips

Any person have to keep his body in a good health condition. In this post you'll find the basic and important actions you can do for keeping your body in a good shape.

Quit Smoking
Just recently, we've seen a surge in smoking in adolescents and teens. Could it be the Hollywood influence? It seems the stars in every movie of late smoke cigarettes. Beware and warn your children of the false romance or 'tough guy' stance of Hollywood smokers. But before you'll act this way - check yourself, and quit smoking. It's for your best.

Avoid Excessive Drinking
While recent studies show a glass of wine or one drink a day (two for men) can help protect against heart disease, more than that can cause other health problems such as liver and kidney disease and cancer.

Move More
Make it a daily challenge to find ways to move your body. Climb stairs if given a choice between that and escalators or elevators. Walk your dog or chase your kids. Anything that moves your limbs is not only a fitness tool, it's a stress buster. It doesn't have to be an hour in the gym or a 45-minute aerobic dance class or some kind of fitness lesson. But that's great when you're up to it. Meanwhile, move more.

These tips aren't easy, but if you'll follow them, your health condition will be improved.
