  Pilate girl achieved her "pilate body" by doing strenght training first. I really hate her use of "masculine" to describe her powerful body. It seems she suffered through self-imposed, heavy food restrictions because she already wanted to achieve a skinny but snatch body then and it was unsustainable in the long run. It's so sad to see women not only fall but also promote being pilates-skinny as the only acceptable path to women's health and appearance.

  Women are so overworked and burnout, people who shill "easy fixes", like popping some supplements , are so predatory.

  I'm teaching my teenage girls to bench, squat and deadlift with proper form. Sunday afternoon is my favourite day of the week when we gather in the basement at the squat rack and they improve and feel strong and confident.  We laugh and goof around and they look so happy.  I'm so proud of them. 😊

  I've been a Personal Trainer for over 20 years specializing in women and you are absolutely 100% Correct!!!! Drives me crazy all of the nonsense out there! Omg the "Eating around sperm cycles" is the funniest thing I've heard in a long time! 😂😂😂

  As Both a personal trainer and Pilates teacher the marketing around “sculpting” that I see in the Pilates section and from other Pilates instructors if baffling… please please please stop listening to 20 years old with good genetics telling you in your 30s and 40s you need to ditch strength training and just do Pilates

  People say AI is obvious because of the filters, like most influencers don’t use insane filters😂 I struggle to see the difference too sometimes

  One thing i did to balance my hormones was TO GO TO THE DOCTOR!!!! The whole "hormones" discourse pisses me off. Everyone is an expert in hormones now

  I just "love" it when gym bros give us advice about our menstrual cycle.

  The term "snatched face" just makes me angry.  Like snatched waist.  It makes women obsess in an unhealthy way.

  My MIL has been a “health and wellness coach” for 20 years, and when I would tell her about strength training she’d say “but, aren’t you afraid of getting big?”<br>It’s so sad how many people still believe that light weights/cardio give you “lean” muscles while heavy weights make you “bulky”.

  I respect the girl that says she switched to pilates and &quot;fixed&quot; her &quot;masculine&quot; looking body in the sense that it&apos;s her body, she decides how she wants to look and kudos for her for making it happen, but the wording seemed very negative. Her gym body wasn&apos;t &quot;masculine&quot; or wrong, she looked strong and powerful. And also, she didn&apos;t achieve that &quot;toned&quot; look because of pilates, it&apos;s because she already had a lot of muscle mass from her weight lifting years and then she leaned down. Very misinformative video.

  For the first one, the AI filters aren&apos;t the red flag. The &quot;one cure fixes all instantly&quot; is the red flag for me personally, and that&apos;s what would make me scroll past with the quickness
