The Dodgers’ James Loney demonstrates the Pilates One Single Leg Kick as he is sliding into third base for a triple Wednesday in the third inning of a baseball game against the Houston Astros.

Schilling, who just turned 41 and signed a one year 8 million dollar contract with the Red Sox is very well known for saying what is on his mind, and doesn’t worry about public appeal. No B.S. he tells it like it is.

I did Pilates in my basement and after my wife got done laughing at me a couple times, I decided it was something I needed to do. Then in the fourth week I started to understand the Pilates terminology, the idea of working from your center. By the third month I was more powerful and flexible than ever before. And I’d lost 15 pounds.” Real men do Pilates.
