I’ve been doing it for years and the hype is true. Stronger core, better posture, increased flexibility, a more balanced body composition, deep sense of mindfulness The only downside is how ridiculously $$expensive$$ it is, but most studios offer new clients specials and/or class packs at a discount.
I recently fucked my back up. It was sudden, unexpected, painful, and now I’m stuck with it. Mending it on an infinity loop of physical therapy, cortisone shots, heating pads, and now: Reformer Pilates. It’s reshaping my body and is one of the few exercises I can do at length without cursing my back out for giving up on me at 30. I can’t do mat, personal thing really, but highly recommend everybody get on a reformer at least once. It’s a strange sensation at first, working out laying down, but once you get into the rhythm of the movements and ride the breathwork wave, reformer pilates is powerfully healing (and strengthening). Also it’s kind of a lazy girl's hard workout.
ok i bought into the hype and tried it today, and i have to say it was pretty cool! it was hard as hell but the machine made me feel kinda powerful 😗 like i felt way less self-conscious than when i’m huffing and puffing on the floor mat lmao. will try again!
i just started doing mat pilates, and i understand the hype. i feel incredibly energized and bendy. there‘s truly an extra pep in my step because my core is strengthening. it’s good for my brain.
pick someone you know or have seen very little of, and watch as many of their movies as you can. who was the last actor or director you studied without someone telling you to?
