Cindy Crawford has reached 43! Now from my point of view that’s young but this Mother of two could easily pass for someone half her age.

Don’t panic. Although my spelling is bad it’s not that bad! It really is Poolates the aquatic version of Pilates. This swimming pool version of Pilates has been created by Rebecca Pfeiffer (although I’m sure I’ve heard of a similar idea called Swimalates) and uses the same principles as it’s namesake.
