Kunzima kunokuba kujongeka, njengoko umsasazi ongenanto uxelela uPrudence Wade.
Emva kokugqiba iminyaka engama-50, uRichard Osman waqonda ukuba kufuneka afumane uhlobo lokuzilolonga awayelonwabele - kwaye ekugqibeleni wazinza kumhlaziyi uPilates.
“Ndiqale ukwenza iPilates kulo nyaka, endiyithanda kakhulu,” utshilo umbhali kunye nomsasazi oneminyaka engama-51, osanda kukhupha inoveli yakhe yamva nje, Ibhulethi Ephosiweyo (Viking, £20). “Kufana nokuzilolonga, kodwa hayi – uyangqengqa. Iyamangalisa.
“Xa uwugqibile, izihlunu zakho ziba buhlungu. Ucinga, wowu, yeyona nto bendisoloko ndiyikhangela – into ekolula kakhulu, kuninzi ukungqengqa okubandakanyekileyo, kodwa ikwakwenza womelele.”
Noko ke, uOsman wamthabatha ixesha ukufumana uPilates. Andizange ndikuthande ngokwenene ukwenza umthambo. Ndiyathanda ukwenza umdlalo wamanqindi, kodwa ngaphandle koko, le [Pilates] intle kakhulu,” utsho – eqaphela ukuba unombulelo ongazenzisiyo ngenxa yokuba, ku-6ft 7ins ubude, amathambo akhe kunye namalungu “afuna ukukhuselwa”.
Nje ukuba ugcino lwabadanisi, i-Pilates inegama elingapheliyo 'njengeyabafazi', kodwa u-Osman yinxalenye yendlela ekhulayo yamadoda anikezela ngayo.
"Ngamanye amaxesha kuthathwa njengokuzilolonga kwabasetyhini, kuba kubandakanya ukushukuma kunye nokuzolula izinto, ezi - stereotypically - ayizizo ndawo ziphambili ekugxilwe kuzo kwimisebenzi yamadoda amaninzi," utshilo u-Adam Ridler, intloko yezokuqina kwi-Ten Health & Fitness (ten.co.uk ). “Kwaye ayibandakanyi iintsimbi ezinzima, iHIIT kunye nokubila kakhulu, okuthi – ngokulinganayo stereotypically – [ezaziwa njengogxininiso olukhulu lokuzilolonga kwamadoda],”
Kodwa kukho izizathu ezininzi zokuba zonke izini ziyizame, ngakumbi njengoko u-Ridler esithi: "I-Pilates yinto efanelekileyo - ukuba iyakhohlisa - icela umngeni wokuzilolonga umzimba wonke. Nokuba kusenziwa umthambo olula, ukugxila kwisenzo ngokwaso kunye nokuchaneka kwindlela esiqhutywa ngayo kudla ngokuba nzima kunokuba bebecinga. ”
Konke malunga nexesha phantsi koxinzelelo kunye neentshukumo ezincinci, ezinokubeka ngokwenene imisipha yakho kuvavanyo.
Iingenelo ziquka “ukuphuculwa kwamandla, ukunyamezela kwezihlunu, ukulungelelana, ukuguquguquka nokushukuma, kunye nokuthintela ukwenzakala (idla ngokucetyiswa yiphysios kubantu abaneentlungu zomqolo). Izibonelelo ezine zokugqibela mhlawumbi zezona zifanelekileyo njengoko zizinto amadoda adla ngokungawaxabisiyo ekusebenzeni kwawo.”
Kwaye ngenxa “yojoliso lobuchwephesha kunye nendalo yokuntywila yePilates”, uRidler uthi “ngamava anengqondo ngakumbi kunemisebenzi emininzi, enceda ukuthomalalisa uxinzelelo kunye noxinzelelo”.
Awuqinisekanga? "Amadoda amaninzi afumana i-Pilates ekuqaleni njengesongezo kuqeqesho lwabo - nangona kunjalo, i-carryover kwiminye imisebenzi abayenzayo ibonakala ngokukhawuleza," kusho u-Ridler.
"Inokunceda amadoda aphakamise izisindo ezinzima kwindawo yokuzivocavoca, ukuphucula amandla kunye nokunciphisa ukulimala kwimidlalo yokudibanisa, ukuphucula ukuzinza kwaye ngoko ke isantya kunye nokusebenza kakuhle kwibhayisikili kunye nomzila kunye ne-pool, ukudwelisa imizekelo embalwa nje. Kwaye ngokusuka kumava obuqu njengeklabhu kunye nenqanaba lesizwe, uPilates wandinceda ukuba ndifumane isantya esongezelelweyo sesikhephe. "
