  • Episode 2: Part two – Joan and Lynda continue discussing the fact there are only 10 Spinal Exercises

    The reason someone would want to understand this is that if you are a professional you can easily make choreographic changes to exercises to provide variety.   Whether teaching a reformer class of 4 or 12 and needing to make modifications for one person benefits all in both brain and body health.  Looking at all the equipment now in studios whether the mat or reformer or spring wall or chair, knowledge of these spinal exercises makes creating exercises a breeze, i.e. thinking on your feet.

  • Episode 31: Your Government Hates YOU which explains why they LIE!

    The big lie  happened in 1985 when the CDC  changed the  formula  for measuring weight from the IBW--- Ideal Body Weight, aka the HAMWI Method  to  the BMI which enabled them to  "grade on a curve."   They probably thought this move was innocent.  But not so.  About one million died of Covid due to obesity and the majority didn't even know they were fat.  NOW obesity is  really  bad  so the Authorities need another lie. Learn  what  this will mean.
