  • Wellness Culture Featuring Comedian Tori Piskin

    Joan Breibart talks with Comedian Tori Piskin about “wellness” and what this means for exercise, diet, fitness and nutrition in the time of Ozempic. Both are long time Pilates Clients, but Tori, because of her age (34), is what is commonly known as a Wellness Bitch while Joan (age 84) is a Natural Eater just like Joe Pilates.

  • Bye Bye MOTR®

    Why is innovation ignored in the "wellness" space? Trainers are typically afraid to take a chance. They fear upsetting their clients because they never really why someone hires them. They do know that at any minute any "devoted" client may leave without any explanation.

  • Contemporary Classical Original Contrology. What do these names mean? Why are teachers using only the first TWO?

    Listen to  Joan Breibart who  has been DOING Pilates for 60 years and  doing it professionally since  April 1991 and who has met or been in a workshop or as a client  with an  Elder or “master” 2nd Generation— a lineage deal  she invented 1993. Why listen?  She  explains why EVERYONE today is Confused about Pilates. Or Pilots or Pilaadees  or whatever  it was called  only   30 years ago when the name was unknown  and unpronounceable   and  worse— it recalled Pontius Pilate!! Forget the labels. Forget mentoring. Start Thinking like JOE. He was a Big Thinker—not a onesie twosie guy.

  • Eating Clean & Super Foods, etc.

    MORE Branding. More avoidance of HOW MUCH you put in your mouth. More confusion. Matcha Tea is now a super food even though you mostly drink it. Be warned. Branding not content. More ways to identify yourself you seem to be going with the right trends.

  • Somatics - Coming Soon

    Somatic exercises which no one has even heard of are going mainstream according to John Wiley Publishers who added this  title  to their DUMMIES Series. To be included in this  brand, the subject has to be of interest to everyone. For so many reason - not the least of which is America's penchant for masochism - it is unlikely we will all turn inward and become gentle.

  • NEAT: NON EXERCISE ACTIVITY THERMOGENESIS

    What a mouthful oh sorry it's a pun when we can't get rid of the idea that we can torch calories by some kind of moving around. Of course 80Bites has always had information about NEAT. But we do it because it's good to change position and it helps your circulation because we know that torching calories when it's hormones is really silly forget calories hormones rule anyway we'll talk about all of this and what the very frightened exercise biz is doing as they now think maybe so SOMATICS is the answer.

  • Super Foods & "Eating Clean"

    Discussion on how branding foods  lads to  gainign weight not losing it.  Constant  telling us what to eat nd never talking about hwo much. Why using  the 80Bites app is  so revealing and for some frightening unless they are on Ozempic and their consumption has dropped  by 25% at least.
