Mat Pilates Research Paper

Have you ever taken a Pilates class?

I remember my first one more than a decade ago in the Dominican Republic. It was Mat Pilates. As playful as the ring looked I remember the class was challenging, meaning . Then I moved the States, joined a fitness chain and forgot about Pilates as they didn't offer it because they didn't have certified instructors.

I am not the athletic type nor the most disciplined fitness fan, but now that I am in my thirties, I have tried everything from The Boss Chick Dance Workout, Burlesque workshops, Jane Fonda type-classes and excruciating bootcamps to know what I enjoy and what works for me and my body. That's why I got very excited when I received an invitation from The Blogger Union for a workout at PilatesProWorks

    Let me just clear the air before I start, I am a big man and by no means have I ever surfed or ever dreamed of surfing but it has always fascinated me in different ways. You may be asking yourself as to why I am writing about a surf apparel company that is centered around surf and beach life if I have no real interest in surfing besides the fact that only fit people can do it, and I can't. The reason why I chose this topic is not only the fact that a surfer bum hit it “big” but also the fact that Ron Dimenna achieved a long time goal by hard work and perseverance. I will also be briefly explaining the history behind the “World's Most Famous Surf Shop”.…

    Lululemon Athletica: Company background, history, and current operating environment Lululemon Athletica began after founder, Chip Wilson, attended the first commercial yoga class in Vancouver British Columbia 1998. Wilson had spent the previous twenty years in the surf, skate, and snowboarding industry and felt that yoga inspired the same post activity “high” that board sports gave him.

I watched Curly's muscles flex as he loaded the furniture and equipment onto the truck. Looking at my own body, I realized the only part of my anatomy that was flexing was my flab.…

    History should remember Harry Truman as a man that was given the position of the president of the United States because Franklin D. Roosevelt died, and would not have been elected if it was not for Roosevelt’s inability to campaign on his own. Truman was hired by the Roosevelt’s because of his great campaigning ability, and since Roosevelt was in a wheelchair, he was the man for the job. Truman was given the role as the president of the United States because he was the Vice President, not because he was capable of getting the job done. Truman was sworn in as the president during WWII, and there happened to be a bomb ready to use just as he became president. As a result, Truman did not have any idea on how to end the end, and if it were not…

    I started out by researching even more than I thought possible,and I even emailed the guy who created the program, asking for personal tips that he could possibly give me. I received the answers that I so badly yearned for and quickly put them to use. It was long and gruesome, and at times I was tempted to once again give up. Every time I did a repetition of my plyometrics, there was a small amount of doubt lingering in the back of my mind, waiting to pounce upon my work ethic and tear it apart. I decided right then and there that the doubt that scared me so much in the past would now be my fuel.…

    CrossFit has been used by corporations, professional sports teams, police officers, firefighters, and the Marine Corps as part of their training. It has helped me improve more than just physical strength and endurance; it has taught me discipline and mental strength.

    This class was actually very interesting and really helped me to open my eyes to the ways in which I have been not focusing on my physical health. When it comes to my present activity level, a lot has changed from the beginning of this class. I have to say that before this class I never made physical activity a priority in my day. I counted walking to class as a form of physical activity, which it was, but not enough. I am a lazy person and would rather be laying around watching Netflix than going to the gym.…
