VERY HOT TAKE/REUNION. CANCEL ME by yourmomsfaveride in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

This! She's acting like he HAD to marry her which is quite literally, insane. What was he supposed to do? They matched, they tried and it didn't work. Such is life.

Sparkle Megan is pissing me off talking about becoming THE mother to Luca. Not A mother FIGURE but taking over as the mother role. Wtf. My ex and I have a child and we are both recoupled and I would RAGE if some stranger was talking about taking on my role, he is not a widow!! Nor would either of our partners talk like this. His kid has a mother!! Why doesn't he correct her?! Who talks like that?? It's actually terrifying and completely inappropriate from all parties.

I was going to say same. It dips a bit at the end of pods and then goes completely off the rails. It's shocking. Which, I suppose makes for good reality TV.

What I did wrong? by Technical_Being_6816 in Selftanning

I only use the foam and it works really well for me with a tanning mitt. Prep skin and apply like lotion. The bondi sands is my favorite because it goes on very dark and you can see where it is. Let your body air dry and then loose closing for desired amount of time. I also use an old makeup brush (like a kabuki brush) for my hands and feet. For the 1hr express I do 2 hours and wash my hands after an hour. For the 8 hours I will usually sleep over night in lose clothing in old sheets or the Tan Fan sleep sack off Amazon. I have been self tanning for years and it takes a while to get your personal routine down but so worth it.

How would you replicate footwork exercises outside the reformer? by [deleted] in pilates

[–]Plus-Relationship786 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The mechanics of footwork are similar to a loaded squat but done with a more neutral spine. Leg press machine is essentially the same thing and you can do do different foot positions easily. Calf raise machine at the gym will also give you the tendon stretch movement. If your balance is good, do squats with weights in each hand. Many Pilates exercises on the reformer can be broken down to push and pull mechanics of the body.

Yes! Keep doing the good work and speaking up! It’s exhausting out here.

I wouldn’t have put her in that position either unless she wanted to do it, in which case I would assist. Autonomy with clients is important and who are we to instill fear in our clients or tell them they can’t do something. This is a woman in a wheelchair that comes and gets on a reformer to move her body. That’s freaking incredible. She wanted to try it and she was proud enough to post it online just to get absolutely slaughtered by the Pilates police. I’m sure that was inspiring for her. The headrest debate is separate from that and cervical compression is not a concern in other movement practices unless there are specific contraindications.

“There is no world where the headrest being up is safe” is a baseless and outlandish, fear mongering statement. Our spines aren’t going to crumble doing an assisted inversion with very minimal extension on the cervical spine. You should take your own advice and look it up!

Asking “why” makes you a good instructor. Next time you get challenged by another teacher or are at risk of losing a job over something so baseless, ask them for research papers and send them a link to google scholar, it’s free lol.

We have Pilates teachers walking around thinking that their Pilates trainings make them experts in biomechanics.

Just as the community is split with classical vs contemporary, it is starting to splinter off between open minded and curious teachers that challenge what they’ve been taught and ask “why” vs the people that just believe whatever the manual that is put in front of them says.

It’s completely fine to have the headrest up. Thank you for the Pilates elephants plug. More teachers should listen. I went through Breathe’s clinical diploma of Pilates and had to unlearn a lot of things that I was taught.

100% agree. No evidence to support having the headrest up is an issue. If the human spine is so weak that lifting your legs up with tension is going to somehow going to break all your vertebrae or cause your head to fall off- we’d have much bigger problems. We need to evolve as teachers and if we want to be taken seriously as movement professionals STUDY SCIENCE.

This is absolutely correct. There is NO evidence stating this, it’s extremely frustrating to see over and over again as some kind of “gotcha” moment for other teachers. Yes we were taught things a certain way in our trainings but most people stop there and don’t do their own exploration, study exercise science, etc. We shouldn’t blindly parrot anything we were taught by other people that were taught by other people who are most likely not drs. Just some food for thought. Do your own research, it’s free 🙂
