hehe, yes! fully agree. It's all fads, marketing buzz words and techniques for everything.

Also, they seem to invent some new fuckin' ab machine each week. Like on the info-mercial (or whatever those advertising shows are called?) they hvae a new ab machine so often.

I also think, that people like t say these buzz words to impress others around them. Like you were saying yourself.
"At the moment i am doing pilates"
say it, it sounds nice, fresh and impressive, doens't it

I feel a lot of vegans or whatever like to do that as well. And then you find them eating fish later on and you think WTF. They just like to sound more impressive or part of something.

Although this is even more general, there's even a thing about going to the gym. My supervisor likes to claim he goes to the gym and workout, but he really doens't seem in the best shape. People like to advertise themselves as doing something, even though they don't really fully do it, just to sound like some hot-shot.

sorta contradicting what i just said, but my mum does pilates and showed me a few moves and it's actually pretty cool however i am not gonna go around claiming i do pilates or anything like that
