I forgot to mention - last night, I did my first full "death march" with the clubbells of love.

The "death march", which I just now realized is a term with some unintentioned racial/ethnic implications (it's a military term, too), is 100 repetitions, sans pause, of whatever series of swings/moves you're working on. If you life freeweights, it probably sounds ridiculously easy, but it's not - the clubbell is a very different thing.

It takes about 6 weeks to get from not knowing how to do a couple of different types of swings to putting them together to doing so many in a row without pain and suffering. So, basically, it represents progress. ;)

And now I can move on to the next thing.

"Death march" has also become a software-engineering term, referring to the kind of project that gets scheduled so badly that the developers have to work 26-hour days to get it done on time.

But in Pilates, they just call it "the one hundred," for some reason.

It's much simpler. Can you imagine a Pilates "death march", though? That would be so counter to all that is Pilates.

Actually, "death march" is how I felt when I did Pilates for the first couple of times...
