Celebrating Joseph Pilates 130th Birthday!
Via Well + Good NYC http://www.wellandgoodnyc.com/
Full article here
Vintage Life Magazine articles may document the pioneer in poses, contraptions, and outfits that would make us nervous (or LOL) today, but Pilates was always serious about his practice and the stellar health-promoting benefits that came with it.
Of course, the lineage of Pilates teachers who cite him as an anatomy and movement genius clearly lives on, and his concepts of alignment in daily life and core stability, for instance, have infiltrated the fitness world at large.
To celebrate the often half-dressed, German-born visionary, who lived to the flexible age of 83, we took a closer look at how Joseph Pilates reformed the way we move. (See what we did there?) —Sarah Sarway

A birthday tribute to the (half-naked) father of Pilates
Tomorrow (Today, Dec 9) would be the 130th birthday of Joseph Hubertus Pilates (1883–1967), whose namesake fitness method, originally called Contrology, is now practiced in thousands of studios around the world.Vintage Life Magazine articles may document the pioneer in poses, contraptions, and outfits that would make us nervous (or LOL) today, but Pilates was always serious about his practice and the stellar health-promoting benefits that came with it.

SOMN Polar Bear Plunge
Polar Bear Plunge for the Special Olympics of MN
Pledge Susie! plungemn.org/plunger/susiequarstadSusie Q and Her Crazy Crew
It was early January 2006 when a flyer on a bathroom wall for the Special Olympics of MN was spotted presenting an interesting and somewhat strange way to raise money and awareness for their wonderful cause. So along side two friends and many other crazy strangers I plunged into White Bear Lake in the middle of January on a very cold day. As cold as it was (still the coldest yet) I made the decision that day to plunge for the SOMN every year for as long as I was physically able.
When January of 2007 rolled around five of my friends plunged along side of me and marked our first year as an organized team.
The third year we came up with a name, Susie Q and Her Crazy Crew, t-shirts and a photo team with a crew of eight plungers.
Every year the plunge season kept getting bigger and more exciting for the Crazy Crew, in 2010 we started our own Facebook and Twitter pages.
In January of 2011 we had our first Crazy Crew Pledge-Raiser and with a total of 24 plungers the Crazy Crew raised just under $10,000!
In 2012 with 36 plungers we raised over, $14,000 and in 2013, 39 plungers raised over $18,000!!!

Holding up my end of the deal I will make my 9th consecutive plunge in the year 2014, plunging on January 25th at White Bear Lake! For the 2014 plunge I have set my personal pledge goal at $1,000 with hopes of reaching beyond $1,500! Please consider a donation to assist me in getting closer to my personal goal, consequently helping the entire Crazy Crew in reaching our collective teal goal of 20K.
