The Olympics

The Olympics is an opportunity to observe all sorts of bodies in motion. Try to distinguish the athlete who trains properly in a balanced manner and has great posture (such as Roger Federer) and those who over-work or train in an unbalanced manner. Find the athlete who uses the least amount of effort (biomechanical efficiency) and thus moves in a fluid, flowing motion.  Look to see if the athletes are using their center and their wings. Those coming from the armpits will be superior! Enjoy the ample opportunity to observe many difference kinds of sports – all requiring the principles of Pilates, especially precision. Enjoy!
