Did U Know??
...that mercury thermometers are probably not found on your store's shelf? The operative word: mercury.Research tells us that mercury is dangerous to the human body, so it would only make sense to get those trusty little antiquated items off of "your" shelf as well.
Replace them with a digital or glass thermometer for safer results.

Life Answers
This time of year many are asking, how much water should we drink everyday? Answer: While the average person needs at least two quarts daily, hydration will depend on a number of individual factors. There is no one answer, as some would think. You have to ask questions like: What is my body size? What illnesses do I have? How would those illnesses factor in to my water intake? How much do I exercise? What climate am I exposed to? How hot or how humid is it? Xperts say: On average, drink 7-10 ounces of water for every 20 minutes of exercise (Get Fit Now). Don't wait until you are thirsty to drink water. Be ahead of the game: be safe. Pilates Tip 4 Spring/Summer
Enjoy Pilates by a toasty fireplace outside in the eve. Yes, outside. Even in the spring! Check out the wide variety of garden "fireplaces" you can purchase for under $100. If you have a Pilates mat, it will withstand the patio or even the grass. You may have to get up really early in late day to find cooler temps, but it will be worth your sacrifice. Try it; you may fall in love the idea. Research tells us that being outside in the fresh sunshine not only boosts our Vit D intake (in which many of us are deficient in), but it also boosts our spirits. Winter time especially calls for us to make the effort. But now that it's summer, think how much easier this challenge will be to add to your weekly diet! What more could you ask to add to an already wonderful system of wellness?Resolve for Spring/Summer?
If you don't have a bicycle, purchase one. But take it a step beyond and ride the thing at least a couple of times a week! Be sure to include a regime of walking as cycling only has proven to not to be as helpful with the prevention of osteo. Why not walk one day, and cycle the next to break up the monotony that often causes us to forgo exercise all together.

About Me
- Pilates Works 4 Life
- Welcome to Pilates Works 4 Life! I'm Ellen, and I'm a professionally trained Pilates instructor. While I have B.S. and M.S. degrees in Education, Business, and Human Relations, the most rewarding area of study has been in the true method and works of Joseph Pilates. I invite you to join me in this exciting and hopefully entertaining educational journey. Too, I have a background in nutritional health, so I'll be blending it with the discipline of Pilates. Health and Pilates common denominator is WELLNESS. I hope to bring a successful dose into your life.
