Fitness: Old School / New School

by on ‎04-22-2008 05:24 PM

Greetings friends joining me on this Journey! I actually had people responding to my first Blog! If you're into joining me on this Fitness journey, let me know. Log on, Blog on. We might actually be onto something here.

"Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast." I was singing that line from an old Dylan song the other day as I got off the air. Wow, I thought. I've actually been doing this crazy job for over thirteen years. That's over 80,000 product presentations (but who's counting). One thing is certain: I've seen A LOT of different Products over the years.

And in the fitness category, I've both presented and used seemingly countless products designed to get people in shape. "This is the one that's going to make a difference. This is the Latest and the Greatest!" Admittedly, Some are better than others. But just like the latest monthly Fitness magazine, the latest Fitness infomercial, people always seem to be drawn to the "New" thing. It's human nature. In the case of a product like Leg Magic , it's true. it's a great invention, and I can still feel my thighs burning from the last Sunday night when I presented it with Rosalie Brown.

But here's what's also true: As products and inventions come and go, there are a few items that truly stand the test of time. One of them is Pilates
. The Pilates system has been on QVC for years, but Pilates itself has been around for decades. The techniques have been used by dancers, athletes, and Hollywood Stars for years. Joseph Pilates developed the system back in the 1920's. The variety, the relaxation, the body sculpting, and the overall sense of well-being are just a few of the benefits of the Pilates machine. I love and need the Pilates, because, besides those other benefits, it gives me the best stretching exercises I've ever experienced. I used to have the flexibility of a frozen tree branch. I was the former jock who could no longer touch his toes. Pilates changed all that.

If you've seen the products that promise "buns of Steel", and after trying it, you just want "buns of cinnamon"... give Pilates a chance.
