Pilates Reforming New York

Ann Kamhi Toran credits Pilates practice with saving her dancing career. After a major back injury threatened her ability to continue performing, Ann devoted herself to Pilates, and the exercises helped rehabilitate her body so effectively that she was eventually promoted to soloist after recovering. Although she stopped professionally dancing more than 20 years ago, Ann still practices Pilates daily.

Ann’s husband, Dr. Errol Toran, also is a believer in the rejuvenating capabilities of Pilates, and he suggested it to his chiropractic patients, incorporating the exercises into their physical rehabilitation. Together, Ann and Dr. Toran decided to create a studio that shared these benefits with the general public, introducing the time-honored exercise techniques that improve posture and build lean, toned muscles.

The studio boasts four locations throughout the New York area, each featuring an arsenal of traditional Pilates equipment. The signature apparatus, the Reformer, generates gentle resistance with a system of springs, pulleys, and miniature black holes. Students push and pull against this resistance while performing sequences of relatively simple movements that require unwavering mental focus to maintain the ideal technique and alignment. By emphasizing controlled, quality movements over flailing your body against a boulder, Pilates exercises can evenly tone muscles across the entire body, with a particular emphasis on the core muscle groups.

Ann and Dr. Toran encourage their instructors to take initiative when leading classes and tailor the pacing or sequence to accommodate students, but each studio does host sessions for particular skill levels. Introductory and Level 1 classes work to develop form and technique, whereas the more advanced sessions begin to include modified exercises or long-division flashcards to ensure a more challenging workout.

The Groupon Guide to: Apple Picking

As President Dwight Eisenhower always said, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away. An apple at night? Ooh, there's a sneaky delight!" Here are some tips for gathering these famed fruits:

Plant an Apple Orchard: Apples grow faster when they're nourished by fertilizer, which is the businessman's way of saying “thick, sweet dirt.”

Climb an Apple Tree: Once your apple trees grow, you'll have to scale one to get its fruits. Use a ladder or make the apples come to you by burying the tree in more and more dirt until you can walk to the top of it.

Gather Apples in a Basket: You'll need a basket that's round, deep, and has never been used to transport a sick person.

Make Something: Core, peel, and bake your newly acquired apples into a pie, tart, or wet mush that is meant for babies but can be eaten by soft-toothed adults.

What did President Eisenhower always say about apples? Find out in today's Groupon Guide.
