The Flexibility Factor Flexibility is considered the most neglected component of fitness, yet it is just as important as cardiovascular and muscular endurance, as well as muscular strength. When it comes to
stretching, most people simply skip it. And when they do stretch, the upper back, shoulders and neck usually get left out. As we age, these areas often produce nagging aches and pains. Tension
from poor posture, sitting too long, overuse from working out and incorrect lifting all play roles in causing stiffness. Rounded shoulders or continually looking downward can also have a negative
impact on your neck, which can lead to tension headaches. Maintaining core strength, or abdominals, back and buttocks strength, is also very important. Without strength in those areas, more stress is placed on the neck, upper back and shoulders. Good news: It’s never too late to start reaping the benefits
of stretching by incorporating stretching into your routine – no matter your age nor ability level. Here are a few standing or sitting at-home stretching exercises that can loosen those tired and tense muscles. Check with your doctor before starting a new exercise program.
Your Move | Demonstrated by Debbie Hutchins UPPER BACK STRETCH
• Standing tall with abdominals contracted, stretch arms above head. • Lean to the right, keeping both arms stretched upward. • Avoid leaning forward and holding your breath. • To deepen stretch, use right hand to gently move left arm to the right. • Hold 15-30 seconds, then repeat stretch to the left side. • That will be one set; repeat stretching 3-4 sets.
PRESS UP Stretches back and chest
• Lying on stomach, support yourself with forearms on floor. • Shoulders will be above elbows. • Legs stretched out with toes touching floor. • Press elbows down into floor to lift upper back off floor. • Head will be in a neutral position, eyes looking forward. • Avoid letting hips or pelvis off floor. • Hold 15-30 seconds with relaxed breathing, repeating pattern 3-4 times.
HEEL RAISE Improves balance and posture to help prevent neck pain • Contracting abdominals, stand tall using a support with feet hip-width apart. • Without rolling ankles inward or outward, stand on balls of feet. • Slowly lower heels to floor, repeating 10-12 times.
BENT KNEE • Lying on floor, bend knees with feet flat on floor; abdominals contracted. DROPS • Arms relaxed by your sides or extended to sides at Stretches shoulder level. back and • Keeping shoulders on floor, drop bent knees to one neck
side as far as you comfortably can while turning head to the opposite side.
Check with your doctor before starting a new exercise program. Sally Anderson is happy to hear from readers but can’t respond to individual inquiries. Contact her at slafit@tampabay.rr.com
• Relax with several deep breaths then slowly repeat knee drops to opposite side. • Repeat pattern 3-4 times on each side.

Yann Weymouth shares his secrets to successful architecture BY ART LEVY Florida Trend My mother was French, my father American, so we children — and there were eight of us — grew up bilingual. My mother’s family home in Brittany became where we would often spend the summers. As well, we grew up all over, wherever my father, a U.S. Navy aviator, was stationed. I went to 12 different schools, all over the states, to finish the 12th grade before I went to college. You can’t be an architect and have a template, I don’t think. You start by trying to understand. What is the client asking for? What does the building want to be? You get there by logic. You can’t pull it out of a drawer. When I was in high school and in college, I would play the banjo or the guitar. I like to pretend that I helped Tina get into the guitar. (His sister, Tina Weymouth, an original member of the bands the Talking Heads and the Tom Tom Club, is a member of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.) But what I did with the guitar — Pete Seeger songs — was pretty rudimentary. Sometimes, I’m asked about work-life balance, and I guess from one point of view my work-life balance is terrible. But, on the other hand, it’s not work if you love it. So I don’t think it’s fair to call me a workaholic.

I went to Harvard not knowing what I was going to do, but I was very influenced by my roommate’s father — James Lawrence, a very well-known, really terrific Boston architect. My freshman year, I decided to pursue architecture, but on Jim’s advice I didn’t major in architecture. He said you’re in a wonderful university, learn what you can of the arts, and you’ll learn the science and math later in architecture school. So I majored in modern European history. During my senior year, I cross-enrolled at MIT to deepen my understanding of engineering.
Florida is the spear point in this country facing global warming, climate change and sea-level rise. We’re human beings. We’ve evolved wanting to be close to water because water is life. But it’s important that we begin to recognize that this is risky. Our building codes are beginning to adapt to this, but very slowly.
in an Idaho canyon or walking down a ravine in Nevada. You stand in the Dalí Museum on the balcony watching people come in the door and their kids start running around in the most wonderful way because they’re so excited, and the parents are looking up at the stairs or the skylight or the glass and concrete, and it’s a good feeling. That’s the most rewarding part for an architect — seeing that you’ve communicated through a spatial experience something that gives pleasure.
My father died at 102. He was a remarkable man — a long Navy career, fought in three of our wars, fought in the Pacific at Guadalcanal and all those battles, flying a dive bomber. Then in 1950, when the Korean War broke out, he led an air group and, much later, he was in charge of a carrier as an admiral during the Vietnam War. He was a stern father. He could be very warm, but he was also very strict. He taught me to sail, which was marvelous. My first job after graduating from the MIT School of Architecture was at I.M. Pei & Partners. I.M. Pei became a mentor and a friend. I would watch his deep research into each project and his passion to analyze and to go for quality down to the last detail. I was inspired by his extraordinary humanity, his exquisite politeness and his ability to listen. When I worked for him as chief designer for the National Gallery of Art East Wing in Washington, D.C., and then again on the Grand Louvre Project in Paris, watching him work, seeing how he thought, those memories are still very fresh. What was wonderful about I.M., and I think this is true for being a really good architect, is to learn how to be very analytical and, in your conscious mind, figure things out, but then also listen to your intuition. Sailing is physics. When you sail, you intuitively learn about triangulation. You learn about fluid dynamics. You learn about what works and what doesn’t work. Louis Sullivan said, ‘form follows function,’ and it’s true. Things are beautiful when they perform beautifully. Every time you get a new tool, you keep the old tools. Computer-aided design, what’s called CAD, is a marvelous thing. I de-

It also allows us to communicate the buildings better to our clients and to each other. Originally, when CAD design first came in, people were worried that it was going to turn all buildings into grids, but as you can see, it has not done that. You look at the Dalí Museum. Part of it is a grid and part of it is like a very natural living thing, and that’s what CAD has helped on. But we haven’t lost the old tools. I’m sitting at my desk right now, and I have a box of colored pencils on one side, a box of ink pens and pencils on the other. And my project notebooks are covered with sketches and writing and scribbling and diagrams.

I love how international Florida is. When you walk down a Miami or a St. Pete street, you hear different languages, just like you do in London or Paris or Hong Kong. I love that. You look at a butterfly. You look at a leaf. You look at a pebble. All of those things are beautiful to us, and the beauty has evolved from how they work, what are they doing, without any waste.

More on the Dalí Museum The Dalí Museum is home to an unparalleled collection of over 2,400 Salvador Dalí works, including nearly 300 oil paintings, watercolors and drawings, as well as more than 2,100 prints, photographs, posters, textiles, sculptures and objets d’art. The Museum’s nonprofit mission, to care for and share its collection locally and internationally, is grounded by a commitment to education and sustained by a culture of philanthropy. The Dalí is recognized internationally by the Michelin Guide with a three-star rating;
has been deemed “one of the top buildings to see in your lifetime” by AOL Travel News; and named one of the ten most interesting museums in the world by Architectural Digest. The building itself is a work of art, including a geodesic glass bubble, nicknamed The Enigma, featuring 1,062 triangular glass panels, a fitting tribute to Salvador Dalí’s legacy of innovation and transformation. Explore The Dalí anytime with the free Dalí Museum App, available on Google Play and in the App Store.
The building The original Dalí Museum opened in St. Petersburg in 1982, after community leaders rallied to bring the Morses’ superlative collection of Dalí works to the area. The Dalí’s stunning new building opened on Jan. 11, 2011. Designed by architect Yann Weymouth of HOK, it combines the rational with the fantastical: a simple rectangle with 18-inch thick hurricane-proof walls out of which erupts a large free-form
geodesic glass bubble known as the “enigma”. The Enigma, which is made up of 1,062 triangular pieces of glass, stands 75 feet at its tallest point, a twenty-first century homage to the dome that adorns Dalí’s museum in Spain. Inside, the Museum houses another unique architectural feature – a helical staircase – recalling Dalí’s obsession with spirals and the double helical shape of the DNA molecule.
Avant-garden On the waterfront of Tampa Bay, The Dalí’s garden creates a unique environment of learning and tranquility. The Mathematical Garden allows
students to experience the relationship between math and nature, and a labyrinth in the southeast corner invites exploration and well-being.
