You're most likely Cro-Magnon. Here is an even more inventive CH scheme 
for you to do "exercise":

https://streamable.com/g1v8uu

I'd call that one the "Jim Pennino" level of inventiveness. Cause the 
guy jumping there isn't just a Cro-Magnon, but likely a Cro-Magnon of 
"engineer" type.

Now let's put the extremes aside and let the CH among you be CH and get 
gradually eliminated in time. Let's do what I made this blog for. And 
that's speaking about a few no-nonsense facts in Pilates for the 
occasional modern human that may read this blog later.

As I said before, 99% of Pilates books out there are fake. They're each 
somebody's inventions or blind copying of somebody else's inventions. 
They lack the two main bases on which good Pilates books are founded.

That remaining 1%, the good books out there, are the ones utilizing the 
two needed bases. About half of them use proven clinical techniques 
discovered through years of practice and enormous amount of trial and 
error by professionals in the field, and the other half are based only 
on scientific literature.

Every now and then, like 1% of the cases that make the above 1%, a book 
will come out with a combination of both. Just enough scientific 
literature to make you understand what it is that you are doing; and 
adding to that, the use of different proven methods and related 
exercises for you to gain what they purport to accomplish.

This 1% of the 1%, is what I am after. I had a hunch that the ancient 
Pilates book I've been using, originally also gave the scientific 
literature on which the author's ideas were based, and the stupid 
translator (he was _not_ a translator - he was just a student in Germany 
studying film) completely omitted those sections and such references to 
reduce the book to a level that he could handle. THAT, then, would make 
sense as why he did not provide necessary information about the origin 
of the book, because he knew this book had not been formally 
"translated" at all.

I'm not looking for the original book anymore. I want a newer and most 
probably better one. This book's content is 90 years old :-)

Back in 1978 and till about 1983 I searched and looked and could not 
find the right Pilates book. I really looked everywhere, all were a 
league below this book. Such a book didn't exist yet as far as I knew. 
But that was 40 years back.

I really haven't done a thorough search for one of these jewels in this 
day and times. My time is now limited. When I had the time, during 
essentially two years of lock up because of Covid 19, I was mainly 
experimenting with something much more important, a way to replace my 
lost physical hours at work. The Pilates part of the deal was not as 
important as being physically active many hours a day as is required for 
a diabetic.

Still, despite being problematic, this book is quite comprehensive, you 
can see the scientific mind behind all that idiosyncrasy that the 
mini-brain translator has adored it with. The reasoning, the plan, the 
classifications, they all speak volumes about the author.
