Kunzima kunalokho okubukeka, njengoba umethuli we-Pointless etshela uPrudence Wade.
Ngemva kokuhlanganisa iminyaka engu-50, u-Richard Osman wabona ukuthi udinga ukuthola uhlobo lokuzivocavoca alujabulela ngempela - futhi ekugcineni wazinza kumshicileli wezinguquko uPilates.
"Ngiqale ukwenza i-Pilates kulo nyaka, engiyithanda kakhulu," kusho umlobi nomethuli oneminyaka engu-51, osanda kukhipha inoveli yakhe yakamuva, The Bullet That Missed (Viking, £20).“Kufana nokuzivocavoca, kodwa hhayi – ulala phansi.Kuyamangalisa.
“Uma uwuqeda, izicubu zakho ziba buhlungu.Ucabanga ukuthi, wow, yilokho ebengilokhu ngikufuna - into ekwelula kakhulu, kuningi ukucambalala okuhilelekile, kodwa futhi kukwenza uqine."
Nokho, kwamthatha isikhathi u-Osman ukuthola uPilates.“Angikaze ngikujabulele kakhulu ukujima.Ngiyathanda ukwenza isibhakela kancane, kodwa ngaphandle kwalokho, lokhu [Pilates] kuhle impela,” esho – ephawula ukuthi ubonga kakhulu ngezinzuzo ngoba, ngo-6ft 7ins ubude, amathambo akhe namalunga “adinga ukuvikelwa”.
Uma sebesele abadansi, i-Pilates inedumela eliqhubekayo njengokuthi 'yabesifazane', kodwa u-Osman uyingxenye yomkhuba okhulayo wamadoda awunikelayo.
“Ngezinye izikhathi kuthathwa njengokujima kwabesifazane, ngoba kuhlanganisa ukuhambahamba nokunwebeka, okuthi – ngokwenkolelo evamile – okungezona izindawo ezibalulekile okugxilwa kuzo ekuzilolongeni kwamadoda amaningi,” kusho u-Adam Ridler, inhloko yezokuzivocavoca e-Ten Health & Fitness (ten.co.uk ).“Futhi akubandakanyi izisindo ezisindayo, i-HIIT kanye nokujuluka okukhulu, okuthi – ngendlela ecatshangwayo ngokulinganayo – [okwaziwa njengokugxilwa kakhulu kokujima kwamadoda],”
Kodwa kunezizathu eziningi zokuthi bonke ubulili bazame, ikakhulukazi njengoba u-Ridler esho: “I-Pilates iwukuzilolonga ngokufanele - uma kuwubuqili - okuyinselele yokuzivocavoca umzimba wonke.Ngisho nokuzivocavoca okubonakala kulula, ukugxila esenzweni uqobo kanye nokunemba ekusebenzeni kwaso kuvame ukuba nzima kakhulu kunalokho abebekucabanga. ”
Konke kumayelana nesikhathi ngaphansi kwengcindezi nokunyakaza okuncane, okungabeka izicubu zakho esivivinyweni.
Izinzuzo zihlanganisa “ukuthuthukiswa kwamandla, ukukhuthazela kwemisipha, ukulinganisela, ukuguquguquka nokuhamba, kanye nokuvimbela ukulimala (okuvame ukutuswa ama-physios kubantu abanobuhlungu beqolo).Izinzuzo ezine zokugcina mhlawumbe zibaluleke kakhulu njengoba ziyizici amadoda ngokuvamile angaziqapheli lapho azivocavoca.”
Futhi ngenxa “yokugxila kobuchwepheshe kanye nesimo sokucwiliswa kwe-Pilates”, u-Ridler uthi “kuwukuzizwisa okunengqondo kunokuzivocavoca okuningi, okusiza ekudambiseni ingcindezi nokukhathazeka”.
Awukaqiniseki?"Amadoda amaningi athola ama-Pilates ekuqaleni njengesengezo ekuqeqeshweni kwawo - kodwa-ke, ukuqhubekela phambili kweminye imisebenzi abayenzayo kubonakala ngokushesha," kusho u-Ridler.
“Kungasiza amadoda aphakamise izinsimbi ezisindayo ejimini, athuthukise amandla futhi anciphise ukulimala emidlalweni yokuxhumana, athuthukise ukuzinza futhi ngenxa yalokho isivinini kanye nokusebenza kahle kwebhayisikili nomzila kanye nasechibini, ukubala izibonelo ezimbalwa nje.Futhi ngokuhlangenwe nakho kwami njengomgwedli wekilabhu kanye nezwe, uPilates wangisiza ngithole isivinini esengeziwe sesikebhe.
