The most iconic and recognized of all Pilates Equipment is the reformer; this is usually used in the presence of a professional practitioner and consists of a padded bench with pulleys attached.

LONDON, 2 Oct - England have spent a week covering their ears to the critical opinions of former players-cum-pundits before Saturday's decisive Pool A clash with Australia but they have been all over a man who six days ago was just another talking head on the touchline.

{{service.description}}He would get the win, have his redemption and walk away with his head held high. But that win has been tainted by the tapout that referee Charles Robinson did not see. Undertaker went from being the cagey veteran who wouldn't say die to being the cheap-shot artist taking the easy way out. By all rights, The Phenom has turned heel. However, this was perhaps the best way to keep their rivalry going. Now fans are getting more than just a nice feud with a cliched ending; they're getting a dramatic twist and a reason for the heat between the two to continue. The fact is that two matches would never have been enough for Undertaker and Lesnar. There was too much intensity and too much bad blood to believe one more match was not needed to wrap things up. The two men proved they can still tell a compelling story, and that story

The Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam did not end with a standing ovation or a celebration in honor of a hard-fought match. This one ended with surprise, bewilderment and real controversy as Taker tapped out yet still won in the end. While fans attempt to make sense of it all, WWE moves on, and this feud will see yet another chapter written. SummerSlam has expertly set up a third match between The Deadman and The Beast Incarnate.

Well I kinda gave away what this post is about right off of the bat. We are all blessed or cursed (depends on how you see it) with a natural body type. This largely due to our genetics (thanks mom and dad) and is something that is pretty much irreversible. There are three different body types classified as Ectomorph, Endomorph and Mesomorph. For most of us, mesomorph is ideal and pretty much the entire reason we hit the gym week in and out. Although we cannot reverse the way we were born and decide to come out a mesomorph, can we change it?

Ask most people what Pilates is all about and the answer is invariably "your core" or "core stability". But what is it, which muscles are involved and what exactly happens?

I received my copy of The Sport and Exercise Scientist in the post today, and gave the cover the usual cursory glance. My scan picked up an interesting question: "Is studying anxiety interpretations useful for sport and exercise psychologists?". So I thumbed through and found a rather interesting debate between two sport psychologists, staged by email and reprinted for the benefit of others. The debate gave me heart and caused me frustration, because while it opened up an important avenue for research and practice, they both missed the fact that a theory has been in place for over 25 years that adequately addresses all of the issues raised. That theory is Reversal Theory (Apter).

After Michael Phelps was exposed by the News of the World this Sunday as a pot smoking fiend and all-round danger to society, the blogosphere has been positively throbbing with "BongGate" posts.

Of all of the decisions parents face regarding their children's future, choosing between shoulder pads or running shoes for their Christmas present seems trivial. Well, according to Kevin Reilly, president of Atlas Sports Genetics, this is a decision you should not take lightly."If you wait until high school or college to find out if you have a good athlete on your hands, by then it will be too late," he said in a recent New York Times interview. "We need to identify these kids from 1 and up, so we can give the parents some guidelines on where to go from there."

We often take for granted all of the logic and skills that human athletes demonstrate every day. Our kids can easily surpass the performance of robots, even as young as 3 years old. But HOW we are able to do these tasks so easily?

In the golf world, the 'yips' can be used to describe any kind of loss of putting form but amongst golf coaching professionals, it is normally reserved for a serious breakdown in the psycho-neuro-muscular process of hitting the ball at all.

Encouragement in the media and sporting contexts to show mental toughness, hanging in there, show grit, dogged determination...is common. But is this always a good thing? Is there a flip-side to this emphasis of rising to all challenges, quitting being for wimps...?

We all experience frustration when our needs, wants and demands are not met, or when we are faced with obstacles that impede our progress. Frustration is a fact of life; therefore our ability to tolerate frustration is crucial to the successful achievement of our long-term goals.
