Ukusuka ku-bootcamp kuya ku-barre kuya kuma-Pilates sinezigaba ezingenakubalwa zokuzinikela ukugcina yonke imisipha emzimbeni wethu isesimweni sokuphakama. Kepha kuthiwani ngeyethu ubuso? Yebo, njengoba ngisanda kufunda, sinemisipha engama-57 ebusweni bethu engakwazi (futhi kufanele) ithanjiswe njengawo wonke umzimba wethu. Futhi muva nje, ngibe nethuba lokwenza lokho kanye: zama ikilasi lokuvivinya ithoni yobuso. Ngesonto eledlule, ngithathe ikilasi le-FaceLove Fitness ukuze ngibungaze ukwethulwa kwe-Clinique's Sculptwear, umugqa 'wokufaneleka kwesikhumba ebusweni'. (Yebo, nakithi kwakuzwakala kuwuhlanya!)

Idalwe ngu-Rachel Lang, isazi se-esthetician, no-Heidi Frederick, i-FaceLove Fitness, i-FaceLove Fitness iletha ukuqwashisa okukhulu ngokufaneleka kwesikhumba. Lapho sicabanga ngokulwa nokuguga, sigxile kakhulu ekuhlanzeni nasezi-serum ezibizayo (okumangazayo ngokwabo), kepha ngokusho kukaLang noFrederick, kunomunye umthombo wobusha ongasetshenziswanga. Ngoku 'sebenza' ubuso bethu-empeleni sisebenzisa izinzuzo zokubhucunga umzimba ukusebenzisa imisipha ngaphansi kwesikhumba - singabika ukuthi sikhipha ubuthi esikhunjeni, sandise ukujikeleza nokugeleza komoya-mpilo, futhi senze ivolumu eningi ukunciphisa imigqa, sisize ukulwa nokuncipha kwesikhumba kanye ne-muscle atrophy eyenzeka ngokwemvelo njengoba sikhula (okuqala ekuqaleni kweminyaka yethu yamashumi amabili!). Amakilasi futhi athi athuthukisa ukusebenza kwesikhumba sethu ukwenza imikhiqizo esesivele siyisebenzisa isebenze kangcono nakakhulu. (Kulelo nothi, bona lezi Zixazululo Zokuguga Ezingahlangene Nayo Nemikhiqizo noma Ukuhlinzwa.)

Ngakho-ke, yini ngempela lokhu kuvivinya umzimba okuqondiswe imizuzu engu-15 ukusiza ukuqeqesha ubuso bami ngemisipha? Ukwenza inkatho nobuningi bobuso obungajwayelekile, ngokuyisisekelo. Ngakhipha ulimi lwami, ngamunca izindebe zami ngaphakathi, ngafaka izikhonkwane, ngakhophozela, ngavula iziphebezi zami, ngenza ukumomotheka okungajwayelekile, nokuningi. Ake sithi ngithole amehlo amaningi abhekiwe emnyangweni wezimonyo we-59th Street Bloomingdale. Mhlawumbe kwakungenxa yokuthi ngangineminyaka engu-23 ubudala phakathi kweqembu labantu abadala. (Nakuba, abasunguli bathi amakilasi abo awadalelwe noma yiliphi iqembu lobudala, futhi iminyaka yamakhasimende isuka kwengama-20s kuya kwengama-80s.)

Imishini evamile yokuzivocavoca, njengendilinga ye-Pilates kanye namabhande okumelana nawo ahilelekile ekusizeni ukuqinisa nokuqeqesha imisipha yethu yobuso. I-roller contraptions-efana ne-foam roller yobuso bakho-yasetshenziselwa ukukhuthaza ukujikeleza kwegazi endaweni yamehlo nokunciphisa imibuthano emnyama nokukhukhumala. Siphinde sasebenzisa izandla zethu ‘njengezisindo zamahhala’ ukuze sidale ukumelana ngenkathi sicindezela (uhlobo olufana nesigaba esingenalutho) amashiya ethu ukuze sishukumise imisipha engemuva kwamehlo, okubikwa ukuthi siyigcina iphilile, kuyilapho imigqa ekhanyayo futhi ithambe ezungeze amehlo.

Ngenkathi leli klasi laliyisifundo sokufundisa ukusiza ukwethula amasu angenziwa uwedwa, okunye 'ukusebenzisa' okunikezwa yiFaceLove kufana nokuhlangenwe nakho okufana ne-spa lapho ubeka khona esihlalweni bese uvumela ochwepheshe bakwenzele umsebenzi. Futhi njengomqeqeshi womuntu siqu, ungenza ngendlela oyifisayo ukuthi yiziphi izindawo ofuna ukugxila kuzo.

Engikuthathayo? Cha, angizange ngibe buhlungu ngosuku olulandelayo, kepha ngangiyazi kancane imisipha yami yobuso ngendlela engingakaze ngibe ngayo ngaphambili. Nakuba ngingeke ngikwenze ukujima kobuso kube yinto evamile ekhaleni lami, ngafunda ukuvivinya umzimba okulula okubonakala kuwufanele ukuzibophezela kwemizuzu emihlanu kuya kweyi-10 ngosuku. Ngiphinde ngafunda okuningi ngezinzuzo zokubhucungwa ubuso ngokujwayelekile, nokuthi ngingakusebenzisa kanjani enkambisweni yami yokugezela. Ukuthatha ukhiye owodwa kubasunguli? Ungesabi ukuba lukhuni kakhulu futhi ungene lapho futhi ubhucube isikhumba ngenkathi usebenzisa imikhiqizo yakho yokunakekela isikhumba-kuzokwenza igazi ligeleze futhi ugcine imisipha yakho isebenza.

Ikilasi okwamanje litholakala kuphela esitolo se-pop-up seFaceLove Fitness '(enesitolo saphakade esingu-5th Avenue emisebenzini), kepha ungazizama ngamavidiyo we-YouTube (vele useshe' ukusikhipha ubuso ') nangoku-oda amathuluzi wokubhucunga ku-Amazon. Futhi ngezinkampani ezinjengoClinique no-L'Occitane abagxuma esitimeleni sokuzivocavoca ubuso, siqinisekile ukuthi lokhu kunakekelwa kwesikhumba kuhlangabezana nokuthambekela kokuqina kusaqala ukuqala nje.
