I think I'm going to look into this. cindi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2004 Report Share Posted August 28, 2004 when I turned 50 a couple of months ago, I bought myself a pilates reformer. I have been lazy and not done it. I will make it a point to use it everyday for one week and report.

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2004 Report Share Posted August 28, 2004 I do the floor exercises. I started it for my scoliosis to strengthen the core muscles. My back does feel better from it. I am able to stand up straighter without feeling so much fatigue. Your kitty has congenital nystagmus. Very common with Siamese genes. Not supposed to affect vision.
