I\u2019ve been doing it for about 2 years now and although I\u2019ve sprained my knee since, it does\u00adn\u2019t dis\u00adlo\u00adcate any more (yes, this is pro\u00adgress!). Any decent Pil\u00adates stu\u00addio (I go to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diannemillerpilates.com\" title=\"link to Dianne Miller Pilates\">Dianne Miller Pil\u00adates<\/a>) will tail\u00ador not only the pro\u00adgram but the way it\u2019s taught to each indi\u00advidu\u00adal\u2019s needs. I\u2019ve seen two cat\u00adegor\u00adies of teach\u00ading, with dis\u00adtinct sim\u00adil\u00adar\u00adit\u00adies to main\u00adtain\u00ading software.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>First, there\u2019s what you might call the fix\u00ading bugs mode (or maybe <acronym title=\"Total Quality Management\"><span class=\"caps\">TQM<\/span><\/acronym> if you\u2019re more into acronym-filled <acronym title=\"Business Process Reengineering\"><span class=\"caps\">BPR<\/span><\/acronym> ana\u00adlo\u00adgies).

So right now I\u2019m work\u00ading on chan\u00adging the way I walk, and I\u2019m back to doing the really basic exer\u00adcises at Pil\u00adates in a dif\u00adfer\u00adent way. I\u2019ve heard people who golf a lot talk\u00ading about rebuild\u00ading their swing which sounds like a sim\u00adil\u00adar pro\u00adcess, with sim\u00adil\u00adar trade-offs to deep refact\u00ador\u00ading. If you don\u2019t do it, you don\u2019t have any major per\u00adform\u00adance gains. But rework\u00ading the way you walk, or the way you do exer\u00adcises you\u2019ve been doing for two years, or a pro\u00adgram you\u2019ve been fix\u00ading bugs in for five years, can be a big under\u00adtak\u00ading. Per\u00adson\u00adally I think refact\u00ador\u00ading pro\u00adgrams is easi\u00ader than repro\u00adgram\u00adming muscle memory \u2014 soft\u00adware sel\u00addom spon\u00adtan\u00adeously leaps back to the old version!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One side-effect of work\u00ading in the soft\u00adware world is a tend\u00adency to use pro\u00adgram\u00adming as an ana\u00adlogy for life.
