Piña Movie

Pihttp://louizaspiritualityandreligion.blogspot.com/2012/02/pina-movie.htmla, an Oscar-nominated 3D movie I saw recently, was an experience. I did not like the first third of the film, with the dance seeming like some kind of comment on menstrual pain (for some women). I think that our 3D technology leaves a lot to be desired. I did enjoy comments her students said she made, the earthy, passionate performance of the dancers, and the beautiful, diverse male dancers.

Some of what she has said:

Keep searching.
Be a stand for each step you take.
What do you long for? Where does it come from?

For the movements, including psychological connotations and interpretations, you will have to see the movie. The dancers seemed ordinary at first, and then came to life. This post is also posted on www.louizaspiritualityandreligion.blogspot.com. I posted it here because of the wonderful spirit-mind-body connection shown in the movie.

Intermittent Fasting

Sounds good -- like getting off a plateau or interval training. Will look more into it.

Training a Thin Client

I did a training session with a healthy, tall size four 30ish graduate student the other day. We did basic sit-ups, squats against the wall, the plank, spiderman walk (see post) and jumping jacks. Although she looked thin and in shape, she was out of breath and sweating. The workout was not too rigorous. This goes to show: health and energy are most important. Being in shape is endurance, streangth and flexibility. Genetics are involved. The rest is work. It is not about fitting into a certain size.
