It is no joke that Joe Pilates nicknamed his exercise method Contrology, as in the study of control. While it is easy to mock for sounding so very anal retentive, it is actually a great movement principal to use in most forms of exercise.
Labeled a body / mind exercise, Pilates is about consciously moving your body with control.

Angioplasty Versus Drugs
Angioplasty works no better than drug therapy (high blood pressure, cholesterol, anti-platelet, and other medication) in preventing heart attack and stroke in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD), according to an important New England Journal of Medicine study. Experts still recommend angioplasty for patients with unstable or severe CAD.
Stents
- Stents coated with drugs may have a slightly higher risk of causing blood clots than bare metal stents, according to FDA meetings held in late 2006.

Drug Approval
In 2006, the FDA approved the use of clopidogrel (Plavix) for patients who have had a STEMI heart attack and who will not be having angioplasty. A STEMI is a very severe type of heart attack caused by sudden and total artery blockage.
Angioplasty and Stents
Surgery with angioplasty and stents that is performed more than 3 days after a heart attack offers no advantage over standard drug therapy for clinically stable patients, indicates an important 2006 New England Journal of Medicine study.

While I was doing bicep curls at the gym yesterday, I was reminded of how great Pilates is. Why, you may ask? Because so many Pilates fundamentals extend to other activities, so you can exercise better no matter what you're doing.

Since many of the exercises require no equipment, Pilates is a great way to work out at home. But it's very important that you do the movements exactly right, so I often worry that beginners may not be getting the instruction they need at home. If you're new to Pilates, but prefer to work out in your living room, then Jennifer Kries' New Body Pilates is a great place to start.
