		<description><![CDATA[I had a very interesting experience this morning while running through some Pilates.
I have taken some time away from training over the last year or so to focus on other things and have just recently started again. I could feel myself getting stiffer and losing a lot of my former fitness. I remember when I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This exercise is brilliant.  It works your abdominal muscles, your breathing, your co-ordination, your back and leg strength and your upper back flexibility.  It engages your whole body, and when done correctly is good for your whole body.  If you aren&#8217;t familiar with The Hundred click here for some pictures and a description on how [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s probably safe to assume that most people are familiar with the concept of using weights and resistance training to increase the strength of the body&#8217;s muscles.  You start of with a relatively light weight and as you get stronger you increase the weight.
