Budokon: Way of the Spiritual Warrior

Okay, the title seems a tad different from what you would expect to see in your typical health blog, if you are unfamiliar with this type of exercise. Yes, budokon IS a type of exercise that is getting more and more popularity every week. It has been popping up in magazines and health articles all over the place lately, and is also Hollywood's new technique of getting slimmer, so I figured I'd say something about it. Supposedly, its a mixture of meditation, pilates, yoga, and martial arts, and healthnews.com is calling it a new "miracle exercise". Personally, I think its only getting popularity because its new, not because it works any better than the already "invented" exercises going around. Everyone just needs something new to say, or something new and improved to work towards, (not that its any better). People seem to be getting more boring as the years go by.
