Pilates vs. Yoga

You know they're both great exercise options, but which one is the best for your health plan?

Pilates and yoga have become popular additions to exercise regimes, and both are similar in their focus on breathing, but there are also important differences to consider.

Pilates:
Goal: increase the core strength of the body including the abdominal muscles, lower back and buttocks and incorporates extensive work on mats and machines.

Yoga:
Goal: sometimes considered more of a lifestyle choice which calls for focused exercise but also attention to diet, breathing, relaxation and meditation.

Though pilates engages both the body and mind, it doesn't seek to unify the two as yoga does.

Getting It Tight
Last weeks challenge we thought went excellent! Of course we are a little biased. The drinking song couldn't have been any better, or any less fun. We had a blast through out the whole process, and our performance rocked. This week is an easy...

World's Worst iPod: The Girl is Mine by Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney
So the story goes Michael Jackson completed this song while watching cartoons with Paul McCartney. We'll just let that sink in for a moment. Not sure what cartoons they were watching, but it must have worked because this song made it to number 2...

World's Worst iPod: Somethin' Stupid by Frank and Nancy Sinatra
This duet by Ol' Blue Eyes and his daughter went all the way to number 1 back in 1967. It seems a little creepy that Frank and Nancy Sinatra are singing a love song. However, a lot of Triple M listeners were in the mood for it. Here's...
