E-cise of the Week
It’s been a while since we’ve posted an e-cise of the week.  Sorry for the delay.  I had a break in the action this morning and decided to shoot the e-cise Gravity Drop.  This is a great e-cise (one of my favorite) for headaches, shoulder tension, and neck pain.  I give it to all my [...]

The Question of the Cool-Down
Great article from the NY Times this morning questioning the need for the post-workout cool-down.  Is it necessary?  Is it not?  According to the article, there seem to be opinions for both thoughts.  My opinion is that while time to cool down the body might be optional, I believe everyone needs time to restore the body from the workout or activity.

You can read the full article here.  And, when you're finished with your workout or activity do these to restore yourself back to its original design.
The Fun Theory
I just came across this video and had to post it.  Very interesting study in making movement fun again through The Fun Theory.  Volkswagon is behind the initiative and their website  "is dedicated to the thought that something as simple as fun is the easiest way to change people’s behaviour for the better."  What a great concept.  And, if this sounds familiar to some of you around Egoscue, that's because it should.  Think about The Patch and Patch Fitness.  We put the "fun" back in functional with Patch Fitness.  You're working out without really knowing that you're working out.  I had a buddy of mine at the clinic just last night going through a Patch workout.  It was his first time through and kept commenting on how much fun he was having.  Little did he realize that he was simultaneously changing his behavior!

Kudos to Volkswagon, and keep the fun coming!
