My back is killing me. That’s what you get for sitting in front of the PC at about 14-16 hours a day… I was thinking some pilates back exercises would help… but wait a sec… I know what you’re thinking.. my social life is non existent… I’m now a certified computer geek! Wrong.. I do have a little “social” interaction going on other than virtual interaction. I must saying being online for long hours does get you a little introverted. I actually can’t believe that I spend that much time on my computer. My broadband internet connection is pretty fast causing me to ignore time whenever I sit front of my PC.
Anyways, fact is I haven’t been getting much exercise anyway and I haven’t been out on any trip recently… and haven’t done anything new lately… yeah been total loser lately.
So I thought maybe getting into Pilates would be something worth exploring, ok maybe not really serious into but starting with pilates back exercises because they are killing me.
I wouldn’t have a problem, I just met a guy who teaches Pilates… Cool!
But what is Pilates? Ok, time to dig up some facts.
What is Pilates?
Pilates has actually been around for a long time now, but it was only ’til recently that a lot of people have started getting an interest in it and getting into it.
“It is a low-impact form of exercise that focuses on spinal range of motion, abdominal and back strengthening, flexibility, and breathing patterns. For a variety of reasons Pilates has become an exercise program recommended by many healthcare professionals for those with certain spine conditions, as well as for the prevention and wellness benefits it offers.” Source for that is http://www.spineuniverse.com/displayarticle.php/article2700.html.
Pilates is a total body exercise program that focuses on 6 basic principles: concentration, control, centering, fluidity, precision, and breathing. Now most people think that they can exercise and build up a sweat with a lot of physical exertion… yo have got to try pilates… taking things slower is actually much more difficult.
Pilates exercises revolve around the spine and flexibility in what they call all lpanes of motion… and pilates practitioners should pay close attention to their own postural or range of motion limitations so they can get the most out of each exercise.
Looks like I found something for my back, the question is how do I actually get started.. well I could talk to KT about it since she is so into it… or maybe talk to Arnel who is a pilates instructor who’s back from his stint in Singapore… or maybe enroll for some programs in pilates cebu style! Hehehehe… pilates cebu style? Whatever that means, I just made that up. would that mean doing pilates exercises just sitting comfortably?
Anyways, maybe it will work for my back… but how to get started really is the big question.
Ok, it might be a little too late to sing our praises about WordPress since almost everybody says all good things about WordPress, but let me give you one great example… of one bad situation that got solved.
For the longest time my domain name main page simply displayed a default under construction page, which basically diverted traffic to all my other sub-domains which are topic or theme specific.
To the uninitiated let me bring you up to speed a bit, in my own words, your domain is your site’s name or address on the web, like now you are currently on www.roysencio.com; that is a domain name. A sub-domain is a more specific address within your domain name, like say internetmarketing.roysencio.com, which is still part of roysencio.com yet is created to focus on a specific topic or field.
A subdomain is also defined as in internet terminology, a subdomain is a domain that is part of a larger domain. for example subdomain.domain.com where domain.com would be the domain and subdomain.domain.com would be the subdomain. Often this is referred to as a “third level domain”. This definition of Subdomain contributed by Eric Blackwell. (source: www.realestatewebmasters.com)
So as I was saying, I finally had an idea what to put up on the main domain, and it was basically to build a main blog site that would link to all my other subdomains and to their specific themes of interest like music, marketing, movies and radio.
For a few days there was something wrong, I thought it was buggy, I could not post a blog, and I could not add categories either, so you can say I was getting very disappointed and frustrated and was even thinking that the program was corrupted.
I don’t know why I didn’t do this sooner, but finally… I decided to check the WordPress.Org site which is basically a huge forum / help desk where developers, programmers and users converge for whatever WordPress topics or issues there may be.
That’s where I found the answer, nothing wrong with WordPress, it was all about my browser setting, I had to tweak it… and to think I was about to uninstall and start from scratch. Had I done that I would probably be even be more frustrated because I’d be faced with the same dilemma.
So the thing is, if you come into a conundrum of sorts with your WordPress blog, there is a huge support community that can help you.
What more can I say… WordPress Rocks!
Finally!
My main blog on my main domain is finally up. It took a while to figure out some kinks in the system and I was starting to believe that there was something wrong with my WordPress installation, or something wrong with the program until I found that the problem lay with my browser.
