Transcript of SHXTSNGIGS VS PILATES!

Hello, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to a brand new episode. Today, the boys will be trying Velartis for the very first time.

I'm too tall for this one. Sorry, guys.

Wait, relax.

I'm fucking sweating.

We didn't want to do this anyway, Poly.

We made a mistake. If you know what the boys should be trying next, let us know in the comments below. But for now, enjoy the show.

Guys, we've grown up men. We are. And we find everything easy. We do. And we're arrogant. We are sometimes. We've come down to do reformal pilates today. Range reformer. I hear it's piss easy. I'm not going to lie. Everyone says it's piss. Is that what you think? You think it's going to be piss? Yeah, I'm an athlete. Okay, okay, okay. Most things are piss. Fair enough. But we're going to give it a go. Put the theory to bed. And then, yeah, get back in the studio and just probably record four more episodes. Because it's just that See how we go. All right, cool. Enjoy, guys. We'll see how we're going. Yes, sir. Rotted.

I would recommend almost hooking the legs over the footbar and then like, shuffle the bum close to then lie back. All right, then. Got to make it all look elegant. And then before we start, I'm just going to get you to bring the heels onto the football, so feet are up onto that bar just so we can check in that position. I'm going to slide you open a bit more so you've done a bit more round.

I'm too tall for this one. Sorry, guys. Smith. Yeah, sorry. Of course. Sorry.

I'm going to do the same here as well. You're I think you look fairly comfortable here. How does that feel?

I think I'm a little bit too tall for this. I think, I mean, just a little bit. But if you think it's cool, then I will leave it. But in my professional opinion, I mean... Just... Yeah. I'm just saying. It's just my opinion.

I like to start my class just with a little bit of breathwork. So we're going to start slow, build up into it. So if you want to, you can close your eyes down. Just find that comfortable position. Whatever works for you. And you're going to start just by taking a deep breath in through the nose. As you exhale, breathing out through purse lips. You can almost just use that exhale to start with. Let everything relax into the carriage. Muscles are melting down. From here, we're going to start to use the breath just to help us engage into the core muscles. This is the breath you're going to be using throughout the class as well. As you inhale, think about filling that space between the ribs and the hips. As we exhale, you're gently drawing the ribs back in and down. Belly button draws in towards the spine. Exhale. It's like you're trying to close the gap between the ribs and hips. We're going to find our starting position from here. Heels are going to come onto that foot bar, so you want to make sure you've got the heels on, strong base. Legs are just hip distance apart to start with, and the arms are just going to relax at the side.

From here, you're going to inhale at the bottom. As you exhale, press the leg straight, push the carriage to the top. In, help to slowly draw that carriage back in. You're just keeping a small gap at the bottom here. I literally just relax the head, relax the neck and shoulders. It's a little bit like a leg press, doing it in the gym. Straighten the legs all the way out. Slow control as you draw it back in. Just want you to notice as that carriage moves, especially as you're coming back in with the carriage, you're going to notice you can just let the springs do the work for you here. We want to resist that. You're really slowing that movement back down. Keep it nice and long. Same on that length into the top. You're in control still. We're going to hold at the top in three, two, one. Press the legs straight. From here, you're just drawing that carriage halfway in. Hold into that place, and you're going to take some small pulses here. Just bouncing that carriage up and down. You're in that small squat position. Heels to the bar, so you got that flexing to the feet, so you're engaging to the front of the leg.

Yeah, crazy. Just a small little bounce up and down here. Three, two, one. You're going to press the legs straight and then slowly draw that carriage all the way back in. It can come all the way to the stoppers at the bottom. So heels are coming all the way together on that football, and you're going to find your pilates V. Toes just turn out to the side. Heels are still together. Nees then naturally open into that wider position. It's super elegant, I know.

Why did you do that? Why did you do that?

That's what she asked for. That's not what she said. We're going to continue in this position. Exact same movement to start with. Inhale at the bottom, exhale, press the legs straight. You're going to find you on that squeeze of the inner thighs now. Inhal, you slowly draw it back in.

I feel like a little ballet thing.

Inhal, you're keeping that control on the way back in. You've all got it here. Like I said, as we press to the top, you're thinking of trying to glue the legs together, squeeze the inner thighs in. You almost got that little second to hold before slowly releasing back down. You're going to start to feel this just into the inner thigh. You're taking that turn out from the top of the hip a little bit more. We're going to hold at the top again in three, two, one. Again, you find that halfway position here. Just taking small pulses into the middle, keeping the knees wide. Just that tiny little bounce as small as you can take it right into the middle of the carriage. Yeah, you've all got it here. Just whilst we're in this position, think of a gentle tuck under the hips. You're really pulling up through the core as well. Again, that breath can come back in nice and quick. Three, two, one. Press the legs straight. And then from there, slowly drawing that carriage back in. Keeping this small V position, I just want you to step the heels nice and wide to the football.

They're right on the outside edge.
