As an ex-ballet dancer now old lady just trying to fight the battle of the bulge, I have a number of exercise videos I do on a regular basis, among them are a few Pilates DVDs. Let me tell you! They are tough! But even still, Pilates is a very popular form of exercise these days because, well, it's tough and it is a great way to tone and stretch at the same time. Now you can have your Pilates and your jewelry too with a new line of Pilates inspired jewelry designed by Pilates Instructor Linda Moeller:

A certified Pilates Instructor with a passion for fitness and an artful eye for style, Linda Moeller is launching her 2007 Pilates accessories brand, Core Links by Completely Fit For Life (www.completelyfit4life.com). This jewelry line expresses Ms. Moeller's love for beauty and function in twelve distinct pieces and eleven unique pose charms.

Based in Folsom, California, the Core Links jewelry line is designed with fitness and comfort in mind to ensure each piece can be worn during any workout. The debut line consists of bracelets, necklaces, earrings, and anklets; each designed by Ms. Moeller and delicately hand-crafted by artisans in 925 silver or 14k gold.

An expert instructor and practitioner, Ms. Moeller was inspired by favorite Pilates poses from her own practice of the exercise form when designing these wearable representations of Pilates moves. Additionally, by wearing the pieces herself during workouts and seeking feedback from her clients, Ms. Moeller achieves the most wearable forms and designs in her jewelry line.

"I'm constantly intrigued by the combination of beauty, grace and power in the practice of Pilates," said Ms. Moeller. "I want to elevate everyone's fitness experience in mind, body, and soul. Core Links is a perfect way for me to reflect my passion for fitness through artful design".

Ms. Moeller is founder and owner of Completely Fit for Life and has over 25 years of experience in the Fitness Industry. A graduate of California State University, Fresno; she is a noted speaker and workshop presenter, has numerous published articles credited to her name, and is mentor to up-and-coming next generation fitness instructors.
