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.Kuyamangalisa.

“Xa uyigqibile, izihlunu zakho ziba buhlungu, ucinga, wowu, yeyona nto bendisoloko ndiyikhangela – into eyolula kakhulu, kuninzi ukungqengqa okubandakanyekileyo, kodwa ikwakwenza womelele.”

Noko ke, uOsman wamthabatha ixesha ukufumana uPilates. Andizange ndonwabele ukwenza umthambo omninzi. Ndiyathanda ukwenza kancinci 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 ukuhamba kunye nokuzolula izinto, ezi - stereotypically - ayizizo ndawo ziphambili ekugxilwe kuzo kwimisebenzi emininzi yamadoda," 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 ikhohlisa - icela umngeni wokuzilolonga umzimba wonke."

Konke malunga nexesha phantsi koxinzelelo kunye neentshukumo ezincinci, ezinokubeka ngokwenene imisipha yakho kuvavanyo.

Iingenelo ziquka “ukuphuculwa kwamandla, ukunyamezela kwemisipha, ukulungelelana, ukuguquguquka nokushukuma, kunye nokuthintela ukwenzakala (idla ngokucetyiswa yiphysios kubantu abaneentlungu zomqolo).

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 iintsimbi ezinzima kwindawo yokuzivocavoca, ukuphucula amandla kunye nokunciphisa ukulimala kwimidlalo yokudibanisa, ukuphucula ukuzinza kwaye ngoko ke isantya kunye nokusebenza kakuhle kwibhayisikili kunye nomzila kunye nasechibini, ukudwelisa nje imizekelo embalwa. Kwaye ukusuka kumava omntu njengeqela kunye nenqanaba lesizwe, uPilates wandinceda ukuba ndifumane isantya esongezelelweyo sesikhephe. ​​"
