Keep Athletes Ahead of the Curve

A great article regarding athletes and injuries.  I appreciate the fact the article places emphasis on how important it is that the instructor have a good educational understanding of the injuries and movements as well.

Roll up

0
Many of you probably have heard me say, that is homework!  I’m not kidding either.  The Pilates roll up is quite challenging for people and should be practiced outside the classroom, especially those who only attend once a week. 
 

My reason being is that this is a great exercise to strengthen the abdominals and teach one control.  Often people’s feet will lift because they do not have the abdominal strength to get up, so other than the exercises shown in this video, just practice the rolling down part.  Once that gets stronger then add in the beginning. 
 

Pilates: Roll up variations
 
Personally, I enjoy the feeling of the roll up and always am excited when it is roll up time in class! :)   The feeling of the stretch and lengthening of the muscles just helps me get rid of stress held in the body. 

Pilates Touchdown

Great article on how Pilates was applied to a high school football program.

I think this also shows how Pilates is important for athletes and can help improve their skill set.

Miso Soup – YUM!

0
I love miso soup, especially since I found a recipe that is easy for me to make it at home. 
Ingredients:
4 cups of water
2 tsp. dashi granules – these can be difficult to find, but I got my at an Asian grocery store
6 oz./ 175g tofu
4 shitake or white mushrooms
4 tbsp. miso paste
2 scallions
Directions:
  1. Put the water in a large pot with the dashi granules and bring to a boil.
  2. Add tofu and mushrooms, reduce heat and let simmer for 3 minutes.
  3. Stir in the miso paste and let simmer gently, string until has dissolved. Only takes about a minute. 
  4. Add scallions and serve immediately.
*If I am not serving immediately, I don’t add the scallions until serving time.
**Miso paste will begin to settle, so stir the soup before serving to recombine
