I love a good news story! A new world best for a 10 km run by a 90 year old. For the non-runners out there, you may need some context: he did it in a time that most recreational runners half his age would be satisfied with.

Well done Ian!

Ian Winship completed the Cumbernauld 10k run on 13 September in one hour, four minutes and 37 seconds.

Yesterday we said goodbye to the best receptionist anyone could wish for and an integral part of Ease Pilates for over 3 years. I think we gave her a good send-off!
Jenette: I wish you all the best and I look forward to seeing you back at the studio on the other side of the desk x

I recorded this back in January but was too shy to share it! I just rediscovered it and decided that actually it is kind of cool. I'm going from one start position to the next of an intermediate workout, without doing the exercises themselves. Some transitions are the way I was taught; others I changed to suit my body or the reformer.Pilates, when performed with transitions, is continual movement - not stopping and starting for set-up. It's normal to pause to learn new exercises, but when practising familiar routines, you can flow through them, building stamina and keeping the mind-body connection fully active. I got through the start positions for 33 exercises in this short video. If I'd performed the exercises themselves it would have taken around 35-40 minutes to complete a full-body workout, in which I've not only worked all of my muscle groups but also mobilised my entire body in all directions.Some styles of Pilates place more emphasis on transitions than others. I would say they aren't the priority, but when you progress beyond beginner work, I think they are fun, satisfying and also allow you to add more exercises to your workout without removing others. Why that matters is a subject for another day.
