The ZM Podcast Network. Fletchborn and Hayley's Little Bit of Pod. Treat yourself to McCafe coffee with my Macca's rewards. Welcome to A Little Bit of Pod. And today guys, for the first time ever in my life, I'm going to do Pilates. Pilates. Pilates. Pilates. Pilates. Pilates.

I wanted to get into Pilates, but far out it's expensive. Yeah, so our gym, Hayley, is doing these Pilates classes. They don't normally do them. They do like a mixed class of yoga and Pilates. Yes, shit. And it's like, yeah, I kind of went to one once and it was weird and happy. Yoga Pilates. Yeah, I think they. And it's like, yeah, I kind of went to one once and it was weird and happy. Yoga lattes. Yeah, I think they're called balance.

Body balance. Yeah, and I was like, this is, and Maddie McLean and I got told off for laughing. Yeah, that seems right. Because they're like, feel inside, you silly boys. Tingly sunshine. You're tingly. Oh, is it a bit spiritual? You look up at this, something inside you and I was like, I can't get into this.

That's what I think yoga does more than Pilates Pilates is more about movement and breathing from my very limited experience and so yeah I'm going to do it for the first time ever

by myself oh my god exciting that's not reformer Pilates it's mat Pilates which is mat Pilates it's just on a mat I believe

it's a poor Pilates how'd you figure that out that's pretty smart that you figured out that it's on a mat it says on the mat on you when you get there and it's going to be run by someone called Matt no it's a poor Pilates, maybe. How'd you figure that out? That's pretty smart that you figured out that it's on the mat. Well, it says on the mat. The joke's going to be on you when you get there and it's going to be run by someone called Matt.

No, it's not. Matt's Pilates. Matt Pilates. So, what, because normally there's a machine, right? Some Pilates has a machine? Well, that's Reformer Pilates. Pilates has all different forms. But the Reformer one's the expensive one,

but that's the thing. My mum owns a Reformer, a Reformer, Pilates Reformer machine. A big machine? Okay. Yeah. Oh, right the thing. My mum owns a reformer, a reformer, Pilates reformer machine. A big machine. Okay. Oh, right. Because it was invented by a German guy, eh? Pilates is his name, right?

Yeah. And he had the machine for like troops after World War II. Is that correct? Right, sure. Or World War I? Is that a thing? Or was it a torture device? You tell us.

No, it was like a stretching thing, like to reform them. Pilates inventor. I'm pretty sure that's the thing. Joseph Pilates. German inventor Joseph Pilates was a German-born physical trainer, writer, and inventor. He is credited with inventing and promoting the Pilates method of physical fitness. He paid a total of 26 apparatus in his lifestyle. Born in Germany, died in New York.

So I think he might have got out of there. He got out of there, yeah. he might have got out of there. He got out of there, yeah. He might have got out of there. So what are you hoping to achieve from Pilates that you're not getting from your other classes? I don't know. They just cancelled my normal cycle class. I'm like, well, I'm going to try this.

And I don't know. I'll just go along and see. Imagine if you become a total yogi. That'd be so weird. Yeah. I don't have the patience to do this. It's going to be like a 45 minute class I reckon it's going to be tough on me mentally

Can you do it as a test and then I'll Consider coming with you I reckon Pilates smoked Smoked durries, he died of emphysema Do you reckon? Really? He might have smoked durries Everyone smoked durries

When was he around? He was born in 1883, died in 1967. He left Germany after World War I. In 1925, he immigrated to the US. Right. And on the ship, he met his future wife, Clara. And they- Clara Lattes.

Clara Lattes. They founded the first Pilates studio in New York City. Oh, okay. Yeah. So it studio in New York City Oh okay Yeah So it's a New York thing Now I'm just gonna I'm gonna say Did Joseph Pilates smoke?

It definitely looked like he loved the Durries The Durries Yeah did he smoke? But I tell you what he had a Strong core He would smoke cigars and drink beer while teaching Pilates What? He would only wear tiny black shorts

And he'd smoke cigars and drink beer while teaching Pilates. What do you mean tiny black shorts? Like tiny little shorty shorts. Like kind of penis poking out. Oh, you definitely see Joseph's cock. Do you? I definitely think you would. You know, the stretching and everything.

I think you definitely see his penis. I definitely saw quite a bit of cock when I did Bikram yoga. Because you wear next to nothing. so people just in their undies and stuff. Yeah it's really hot Is there a rogue kind of ball or flap? A rogue ball hanging from a grunt Okay so according to individuals who studied directly under Joseph

Pilates he smoked cigars daily in his class, drank his fair share of whiskey, had a glass eye and had tattoos Cool. He was a pirate. You were getting the incredible in his class, drank his fissure of whiskey, had a glass eye, and had tattoos. Cool. He was a pirate. You were getting the incredible benefits and core strength, but you were also getting lung cancer from the secondhand smoke.

Yeah. Yeah, people just said he was like a flawed man, but he just like loved Pilates, and he lived to 83 despite smoking cigars. And in that kind of era as well, that's a long life. 83, that's a long time. 1960, 70, died at 83. That is bloody old for the middle of the last century. Well, hopefully I can get onto this Latties with you.

Yeah. This Latties buzz, and then we'll be so hot. We're going to be so hot this summer. We're so hot. So when you're back in studio next week, are we going to do some gym classes? We're going to do all the gym classes. I have not moved this body of mine for weeks.

Dude, I've just found a picture of Joseph Pilates at age 82, and the dude's jacked. Wood bang? Wood bang. Wood bang, yeah. Wood bang. At 57, his body is, like, ridiculous. Oh, my God, this is going to be me. And then at 82, he's got, like, like, Is this going to be me after one class?

Yeah. And you can totally see his car. Tomorrow, you're going to look so hot. You can totally. Look at, even at 82, you can really, like. Oh, yes. That's 82, dude. That's an amazing body.

Wait, now I need to look him up. I'll send you this picture of Pilates. Yes, please. Make your eyes across this. That's incredible for 82. If you looked like that at 82, you'd be stoked. If I looked like that at 41, I'd be stoked.
