Smile Everyone!

Pilates is a form of exercise which is more like yoga than anything else. I usually watch it for the comedy involved. Pilates is all about focusing on the Core of your body. The Core muscles are your abs, lower back, and gluteus maximus. The latter of the three , as said by the pilates workout tape, is superbly christened the Smile muscles. I don't know if it's because of the word smile or because you have to do these moves while squeezing your smile muscles that makes me, well... smile. And I have much respect for the instructor that has to say squeeze your smile muscles without laughing or hinting that it's funny.
