It’s exciting to look back at 2009 and know that we made it through. We kicked and screamed through the economics of it all and celebrated and rejoiced in remembering what is really important. I think that the most popular posts of 2009 reflect what 2009 taught us. Health and great friends are way more important than world craziness…. Here are your top choices for 2009:

1. Are Your Sit-ups Making you Fatter?

When you do sit-ups incorrectly you may find yourself buying the next size up.

2. Osteoporosis: Bone Quality vs. Bone Quantity

A Mayo Clinic study shows that you do not have to increase your bone density to reduce your fracture risk up to 300%

3. Inspiring Cancer Patient: Photos

Linda Smith, a cancer patient and Pilates friend, fought back during chemo. Did you ever dream of doing a glamorous photo shoot when you are undergoing cancer treatment?

4. Better than Sit-ups.

Sit-ups are great but this exercise is even more effective than sit-ups for activating those core muscles.
