I did Pilates today using the equipment😍 I really liked it


I gained a knowledge base in the field of exercise therapy and Pilates. But I’ve never worked on equipment. And it’s so interesting to feel your body and consciously control your movements.

BUT, during exercises there should be complete comfort. And unfortunately, I feel discomfort and pain in many exercises. And I was so surprised, I often forget about my pain in the body. I look for the positive and say that everything is fine 🤌🏼✊🏻

But that's not true. I felt so sad that there was almost no healthy space in my body. During training, I said “I have this here...” “but here it’s like this” “here I can’t” “and here it hurts”, and I just paid attention to it. I never shared about my injuries and pain.

But today I was so surprised myself. I'll share.

🔎Phrases that were heard during training for an hour.

▪️“I’m trying to breathe correctly, it’s just that this rib was broken and that’s why it’s sticking out”

▪️"Pain in the lower back, because there is a structure - an iron disc and screws"

▪️“The thoracic region often hurts - there was a compression fracture there, which I didn’t know about and didn’t treat, and this broken vertebra remains and hurts like crazy”

▪️“Protrusions in the neck”

▪️“My knees hurt from the load, very much”

▪️“I don’t feel well in this shoulder, it was flying out of the joint and there is a small cyst there, so there is discomfort”

▪️“The joints crunch, sometimes it hurts so much from the amount of crunching, as if the bones were already rubbing and rubbing against each other.”

▪️"The trapezius muscles are always overstrained and very painful;("

We quote several fragments, the full version is available on the publication's website, link at the end. ❓ The Strongest Athletes Cup has recently ended. Did you have time to analyze your performances? 💬 I just rewatched the broadcast, looked at my shortcomings. ❓ Did you set a medal plan for this start? 💬 I didn't think about it. Only that I needed to do my program - and then what will happen. ❓ Did you have time to discuss the competition with your coach? 💬 She praised me, said that I was great. She didn't scold me for mistakes on the beam - on the contrary, she supported me. ❓ Can we say that the beam is your weak spot? This is the only final you didn't get to. 💬 Probably yes. I have this apparatus that is a bit unpolished, so to speak. Treacherous. I need to work...
