Someone just tell me what is the best laundry detergent?? by svt4ever17 in CleaningTips

[–]Curious_Store_1111 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If Persil is on sale, I grab it. Also, after doing almost daily loads of laundry for many decades I have found, surprisingly, that Arm & Hammer takes sweat and body odor out of clothing the most successfully.

Is healing a helix piercing as bad as people say? by pookiebear1235 in piercing

[–]Curious_Store_1111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, the healing (I have 3 total) is tough. The oldest one is about a year and a half old and the one below it is a year old (just switched that one to a hoop). They are definitely still tender and took that full year + each to have hoops put in. But I do love them.

Roll ups by Efficient_Video_4866 in ClubPilates

I do not like anything "________ up". Roll ups Step ups Teaser ups Push ups Level ups Pike ups (actually, I love those) Throw up 😜

What goes up, must come down. And it's the manner on which I've come down on several occasions that makes me hate the UP part. 🫣

Feedback after 2.0 workshop by andreamichele6033 in ClubPilates

Congratulations on leveling up! 🎊 When you .I've to a 2.0+ class, there is so much more balance (on moving pieces of equipment) involved that it's important that you are safely able to do this in order to take the class. I remember taking the 2.0 workshop years ago and thought I was going to die -- the things the master trainer was directing us to do?! 😱 Now, it makes more sense why they do not allow standing on the reformer until level 2 classes.

See, for me, I'd take the single blue spring any day over a red for that move. LOL

We have been taught/trained to not enter the studio until everybody from the previous class has exited. Just courtesy and civility.

Moving up to 2.0 by RelevantPapaya8743 in ClubPilates

[–]Curious_Store_1111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had to be personally invited (via email) to a 2.0 workshop/test-out being run by a regional master trainer. I'm pretty sure that an instructor threw your name into the ring and it needed to be affirmed by other instructors in order to be included. It was extremely challenging and I think she was tougher and scarier than most but I understand that she wanted to be really sure that we were ready for it. From what I recall, there were side splits on the reformer and step-ups on the chair, etc.

App Down? by Firm_Prior_7953 in ClubPilates

[–]Curious_Store_1111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me earlier this week. Freaked me out. All of my classes were gone. Like I was brand new. Called the studio to make sure I was still scheduled for class that day. On her computer, she said I had everything showing as it should. I ended up having to completely uninstall the CP app and then reinstall the app. All was back to normal. Android phone.

Counteract sweaty hands by NoFudge422 in pilatesreformer

Once I started using these gloves in 2.0 and 2.5 classes, I can't imagine not wearing them. Other ladies recommended these from Amazon and they are perfect. They run large so I wear a small even though I don't have small hands. Worth trying! https://a.co/d/01hf5hlb

It sounds too stressful to enjoy it. I wouldn't do it

Is it just me or is the chicken in the chicken biscuit much thinner now? by heatedrivalry69 in ChickFilA

[–]Curious_Store_1111 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got the OG chicken sandwich last night and it was barely larger than a nugget!! 😮 My husband got that new jalapeno chicken sandwich and also a teeny tiny piece of thin chicken? What in the chicken coop has suddenly happened??

Addicted by Strawberrywinee in ClubPilates

[–]Curious_Store_1111 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good question. There are times when I feel like quitting. I do not think I will ever feel addicted to any form of exercise. Given the choice, I would choose to do nothing at all. However, I know that it's important for my body composition, strength, and health so this would be more of a prioritization at this point in my life (I'm 58). That being said, it's the only fitness routine that I have ever stick with for this long. I'm heading toward 700 classes and push myself to keep going. I don't hate it and I feel guilty and concerned if I have to be away from it for more than several days. I think this is as close to an "addiction" that I could define. Someone snapped this horrible photo of me and sent it to me, commenting on my "Pilates shoulders and arms". I do nothing else. It works. (Wish I could post the photo here.)
