    I generally enjoy and appreciate your work, but this felt impossible to me and my c-cup breasts! Maybe my Pilates ball is too large? (I think it's a pretty standard size, but I'm not a connoisseur.) Either the ball was pulling on my breast skin the whole time, or the ball was up on my cheeks and in my mouth. I could hardly focus on my breath unless I stayed still and just slumped over the ball. I wonder if you might try this again working with feedback from topless people with varying breast sizes to be able to give more helpful directions.

    • @PetraFisherMovement
      @PetraFisherMovement 6 днів тому

      Hmmm. Maybe try with the ball half deflated and lean towards a wall instead of on the ground; see if that works better for you!

    I would love to add a little life anecdote from my mom's experience. She's been struggling with excessive weight ever since I was a little girl, for decades! When her menopause hit, it hit her hard. She started feeling fatigued often, had hot flashes all the time, like dozens of times a day, it would completely destroy her days, her mood, her life. Even the smallest amount of stress made her cry and go red and have these flashes. Then the war started in my country and I found out that Cyprus is welcoming refugees, so I helped her apply. She lived in an accomodation where they served lunch and dinner (absolutely delicious, healthy stuff such as fish, chicken, so many veggies, fruits, cheese, nuts) and she lived 15 minutes from the sea. So, in 6 months of this new lifestyle of walking daily 30 minutes but also additionally taking hikes every few days for hours, eating good food and having no stress (like my father😂) she lost SO MUCH WEIGHT, she's now same size us me and looks fantastic. But the most important part - menopause is not terrorizing her anymore. Her mind is more clear and she's much more flexible, doesn't get back pains and knee pains anymore. Since then, she found a stable job there, moved to her own little apartment and continues to thrive and this is probably the happiest thing for me. I believe the combination of low stress, high movement, good food and maybe a dash of beautiful view around can change person's life drastically. I wish you all ladies the best and hope to grow into an active lady like you, as well

    Hey Petra - You're using a different definition of pronation (foot rolls inward) and supination (foot rolls outward) than I'm used to. From a recent email: "Healthy feet will twist and become rigid to push us forward at every step (this is called supination). And they’ll also soften and lengthen to absorb the shock of each foot fall (called pronation)."

    • @PetraFisherMovement
      @PetraFisherMovement 4 дні тому

      There are always a lot of seemingly contradictory definitions out there. For a start, I use a definition based on what's happening at the mid-foot not the ankle, which tends to be what's used more often. However, the 'foot rolls' outward is the same as my def for supination if you keep the base of the big toe grounded - the 'rolling' or 'twisting' outward is what creates the rigid lever - and vice versa. Does that help?
