khyricat: Classic Pilates is
khyricat:
Classic Pilates is one of those things that works well together with a more three-dimensional practice. It sounds like a lot of barefoot runners lean towards yoga. I've always been one of those super-hypermobile people who constantly needs to stabilize, so I have to be careful in yoga classes. I miss them, though!
Many Pilates people right now are building on the "classic" repertoire to make the practice more multi-dimensional, which is a good thing. I count myself as one of them.
Can I ask what is it about the barefoot running to you that helps keep you feeling good? Do you think that it was your new core strength or was it something else that also happened to cause the increase in strength?
I was an ergonomics person in the early 2000s (in addition to all the other job description creep I had at that time) so I was constantly dealing with peoples' workstations and really, as long as they were sitting at those 90 degree angles, there's be no improvement in their pain.
Oh, and I knew of a guy there who would work while walking on a treadmill. He literally had a desk built that fit over the place where the fitness panel once was. I think he had another station where he'd sit, but he avoided it because of back problems.
