pilates pin

a movement sensitive pilates mat in front of the cdm catches and interprets your every move. four basic movements grants you access to your account and allows the machine to dispense cash.

everytime you use a cdm, you will increase your strength and thereby increasing your flexibility. these exercises will improve your posture and allow greater grace and suppleness in all of your movements and indeed your pilates pin could evolve to become more complex and harder to be hacked.

using this technique, you will feel better, look better, and have a bulging wallet.

choose any four or combination of four from the following basic movements: 20 beats (100 takes too long and a queue might form), roll-up, leg circles, rolling like a ball, single leg stretch, spine stretch, saw, swan and side-kicks.

       interesting...needs a little personal paper mat cover dispenser like a public restrooms have...unless you want to lay where some unwashed goomba has recently wallowed.

       Public restrooms have Pilates mats?

       only for very small people that don't mind having a hole in the middle of their mat.

       the benefits are two fold, folding you, and folding green.

       Thanks for reminding me to deposit that check that's been in my wallet for a week and to start going to Pilates classes again, po. ;)

       Samuel Delaney had a method for taking a personal phone call in " Stars In My Pocket Like Grains Of Sand".   

       You visualized the smell of burning plastic, followed by the first three numbers of your address in your sisters voice, then the feel of rough stone under your fingers. Personal Identification Codes, indeed.

       absurd, but not absurd enough.

       So if I throw my back out I can't go out to lunch? Doesn't seem fair.

       I am having difficulty keeping the image of our crippled and funny-figured university president "rolling like a ball" in front of a cash machine out of my mind. Is there any sort of privacy for the pilates area? Maybe just some finger pilates you can do while you wait for the receipt...

       no privacy, sorry.
