Then I recently discovered Pilates, and within three short months the back problems have all but disappeared. I also always thought that Pilates was not for men - not according to the New Zealand All blacks rugby team - and that the exercises were all performed laying on mats. Not the case. It's tough, and boy does it work, without those niggly injuries and aching the next day. A real Pilates convert.
