The Strange Yearly Ritual That Takes Place in Closets Everywhere

The sun is starting to emerge from behind the clouds and you know that soon it will be time to shed the sweater for lighter weight clothing for the summer.


You understand that you are white and things just won’t look that good on you but you really want to know what you have to wear when the weather gets warmer.

You head to the closed for a “seasonal fashion show”. You know the one that you do under lock and key, when nobody else is around. The dog isn’t even welcome to lay around and watch lazily as you wiggle into this or that.

You don’t expect much of a surprise with the white skin and all, what you don’t expect that is quite a surprise is the way your shorts fit around your middle.

Not only do they feel tight but what is that around the waist band? Looks like someone put you in a muffin tin and baked you at 350 for 15 minutes, talk about a muffin top.

Now is the time to decide to cut down on the late night snacks, time to make a pledge to avoid drive through windows at fast food joints, and time to make a decision to be better about making it to the gym.

That is all great and everything but that doesn’t help you right now to feel comfortable in your shorts. Really good thing this is just your “pre-season fashion show” because being in a pinch would be another name for it in just a couple short months.

You have a little time so what would be the best method to get rid of the “sweater body” for the summer and do it in short order?

It’s called a “jump start” and it’s called that for a reason. You need to make a jump (or leap) to get started. You need to make a commitment to working out and stay faithful to your commitment and you. You need to understand your body will not change if you only work out once a month. Start by making a list of things you want:

A Leg to Stand on
Buns of Steele
Tickets to the gun show
A Washboard
Sexy Back
Pirates dream

If I need to tell you what some of these things are then you need to get some humor in your life. Seriously now we have a starting point, all we need to do is to select our work out schedule and eat nutritiously and we should be able to get this group of lawyers back to “The Firm” in no time. (the pooch around the middle back where it belongs).

If this is one of your yearly rituals, I have some information for you so stay tuned.

Core Strength is Essential For Good Health.

So now we get close to what is at the core of the matter.

Health Pulse Magazine is continuing their series on core strength.

Many important systems reside in your core.  It is very important to keep your core strong and to be aware that as we get older it is harder to get things back that are lost.

The idea is to stay fit and not let things slip and so core strength is essential to staying fit, healthy and productive late into life.

Getting to the Core of Things, Getting Balanced

Balance is closely related to core strength.  Health Pulse Magazine brings you core strength, in a series of magazine's, videos, pictures and articles.

When you start getting to the core of things you may find out that things aren't what they seem.  Many times we think we are doing our self a favor by doing 200 crunches when in reality it isn't doing a darn thing to strengthen your core.

What you say?  That's right and sometimes it not only doesn't help but it can really irritate a back injury.

The mistake that many people make is that they associate their core with their front side when in reality it is the entire center of your being so to speak.  front back, up and down from hips to shoulders.

Just like any part of your body, when you work one portion you should also work the other.  When you work bicepts then you know you better work your tricepts.  Why is it then that so many people attempt to work on their front side but totally ignore their back side?

Many back issues related to muscular pain could be alleviated with some simple core strength moves both front and back.

Pilates is a great way to attain good core strength because it combines slow movement along with controlled breathing and concentration on the muscle groups being worked, it is quite effective in gaining core strength because of it's principles of maintaining stong core front and back.

Health Pulse Magazine is getting ready to do an entire series on core strength so make sure and stay tuned in.  Until then make sure and read our Health Pulse Magazine publication on the Pilates Method
