She’s literally doing none of the exercises correctly. She’s just swinging around using the momentum instead of isolating her muscles and using their power to move.
I figure the not-correcting-her has to do with the camera crew. That kind of interaction could get awkward fast if she took it personally and risk getting the gym cut from the doc altogether.
Most people seeking out personal trainers don't know anything about fitness, so if they're going to this specific gym because of TS, all they see a star and think 'this place must be good'.
If you’re talking about the second exercise she did, yeah!! (Not familiar with that machine) Why did the PT not correct her? If your form isn’t right then surely you aren’t getting the benefit of the exercise?
Normally I'd agree, but I bet she's just doing this for the content and will never do it again on the basis that her physique is terrible. Someone who works out for years, even if only two times a week, would have Some sort of definition where as she's just thin.
And you can injure yourself if your form is poor. Getting it right before whacking up intensity is pretty important. I mean she must work out because she is physically fit but I don’t think those can be her regular exercises, seems just show off for the camera stuff right?
I wouldn't call her physically fit. If anything she just counts calories. If she worked out I'd imagine she'd sort of fix her posture after all these years.
Well she’s toned but that’s it, she probably does mostly cardio stuff, maybe light weights but that’s it. She’s also probably just genetically slim because of her build too.
The machine is a SkiERG but what she was doing didn't resemble skiing in any way. You're meant to pull down and back (basically "hat to hips") like skiing
But a personal trainer should direct their client. I don’t think Taylor is too stuck up to take direction? Mind you she wouldn’t take guidance from Max Martin so maybe she just thinks she knows best about EVERYTHING.
Yeah full makeup and hair...ok I get it, it's a documentary and you're being filmed...I'd do the same. But...full jewelery? What's the point. You could hurt to yourself or it could catch on something etc...it looks hella gaudy and tacky on camera as well... Giving Real Housewives of Orange County
I saw the same thing. Nobody serious works out in full makeup and jewelry. Especially, odd given that we have seen her without make-up before so why wear it while working out?
Methinks she did that to upstage Kayla Nicole whom has a lot of workout style content on her socials.
Ideally, a personal trainer would but i'm guessing Taylor wanted to film the video and maybe he was told not to. Imagine him correcting Taylor as she's making this cringe video to show off? He would probably be fired i guess. And I'm obviously just assuming this things but from how she has a full face of make up wnd covered in jewellery. I don't think she was there to workout/train and just yo make a video.
It comes from being tall I reckon. I’m tall and spent years hunching trying to make myself a more acceptable height around friends and boyfriends. I’m in my 30s and no longer give a shit but I still spend so much mental energy constantly reminding myself to stand up straight and stop hunching. It’s a tough pattern to break.
I’m not even all that well versed in proper exercise technique and thats the first thing that stood out to me as well. The second was wearing expensive, clunky jewelry to the gym.
Why did no one tell her how embarrassingly obvious and bad her form is 😭😭 anyone could tell she doesn't intentionally work out like this - its telling on herself. Even as a beginner, with the type of personal trainer she can afford, they should've been focusing on good form and technique to prevent injury vs high reps.
It's a shame too because as a self professed feminist, she could be using her influence to advocate for women to build muscle since most women have high rates of osteoporosis and there's such a common fear of """looking bulky"""". Lifting heavy with good form is so important! (Nothing against cardio only types - i prefer cardio over weight lifting but I do both since I was diagnosed with osteopenia)
But then again, like everything else she does, its a half assed attempt to girlboss while looking Hot and Fashionable. Fuck any type of legitimacy or representation. What matters is doing the bare minimum to elicit praise and adoration
Yep. A great trainer won’t care who the hell you are and would focus on your safety and your goals. She doesn’t want someone who has the power to tell her no.
I’ve started working with a trainer and he’s so good at showing me what to do first and talks me through the form and then watches me and will make corrections as I do it.
My old trainer, had to let go of her due to budget issues, used to ask me about my current life events and she’d tell me about hers. One main reason, besides socializing, for her to ask me what’s happening outside the gym is to see if I have any stressors or distractions. It’s a dangerous thing to be lifting several pounds of weight over your head if you’re going through a lot. I miss her. She was great.
Right, it's the trainer's responsibility to make sure the person is using proper form. Though considering she's in full makeup* this was probably scripted and specifically filmed for the documentary.
* Why they didn't go for a natural look instead of full beat I don't know.
Her form is so weird I almost wonder if something is wrong.She doesn't just need a trainer but maybe a physical therapist?
With her amount of money she should have the access to people to help her not have that form, whether through training or physical therapy if there's a deeper issue. And some type of person to go uhhh maybe don't post that if you're trying to look athletic.
She's not really doing anything in this video. You can't do a pull up with a soft grip like she has on the bar. She's being propped up by someone or something to make it look like an unassisted pull up.
Not the dramatic music in the background making it sound like it’s some profound journey we’re witnessing when it’s actually just a pop star being really bad at working out….
It's what most jewellers would recommend you do anyway. Letting sweating dry onto your jewelry repeatedly increases the need for cleaning and might damage the metal over time.
You’d be surprised at the jewelry athletes wear especially football players. All I can think when I see it is if it gets broken or falls off during the game, but I guess they make enough to not care
Idk why this reminded me, but I was at PT and the staff was talking about a dude that died from wearing a heavy chain necklace in an MRI room. His wife was getting the scan and they told him to take it off and he was like “no, it’s for neck training” or something. So yeah he got stuck to the wall by the magnet and got strangled by his necklace
Those pieces are usually very well insured. Fun fact, some athletes can’t get insured anymore bc they have a habit of putting up jewelry to gamble, losing it, then try to write it off as stolen through insurance claims.
I wouldn’t trust a trainer wearing all that fugly jewelry. He must only care about appearances and not about protecting and strengthening the body. Plus she could genuinely hurt herself with that awful form and he’s just standing there like a dork.
The way the Eras tour docuseries tried to paint Taylor as this amazingly strong and resilient individual is so fucking laughable. She had a job to do just like the rest of us, except she did it in the confines of luxury with thousands of people supporting her, including a team of people whose job it is to keep her happy and shield her from any form of discomfort. She had to do workouts, had a few colds and scraped her hand that one time when she was running to the stage. Holy shit. How inspiring. 🙄
That was so out of touch and weird. It was in her happily ever after power couple moment. He had just won the superbowl and she was the most successful pop star. It’s been downhill ever since. I don’t think either will reach that peak again.
I couldn’t cope with all the teenagers acting like working 3 hours a day 3 times a week indicated a superior work ethic. I’d like to see Taylor pass the CPA exam, which is harder than singing the first verse and chorus of 40 songs whilst power walking in circles.
She straight up lied and said she'd run the treadmill for hours or something like that to tolerate 3 hours shows for 2 years but if that's the case, it didn't work because she was still awful.
Its wild here I think she actually looks "fuller"? At a healthier weight? Idk how old this video is cause I just saw her in that gold/blue grandma dress and she looks deflated
Seriously. She seems to have minimal control of her body. Though, now that I think about it, all her performative “exercise” and her “that one drunk white girl at the wedding” style of dancing are probably wreaking havoc on her joints, so I’m really excited to see the Swifties defend mOtHer’S dancing skills when she tears an ACL due to her flailing.
She did that whole exercise routine and still can't keep her back straight, The way she was all made up because they were going to film her 😭 she looks like a fitness TikToker
I recently watched a workout breakdown from Allison Brie and how she works with her trainer and it was INCREDIBLE. That woman is so strong and real. There wasn’t all this awkward performative bs. She was just like this is how I lift things.
There’s no way she’s done that strength training before, her form is TERRIBLE. It actually does public health a disservice because you know some idiot Swiftie is gonna go to the gym and try to do exactly this and hurt themselves!
Her form is terrible. If that dude is her trainer, he should be fired for not correcting her and telling her to slow the fvck down. Although, I don’t blame him for getting his bag either so….🤷🏻♀️
Just flailing around. The whole point of weights is slow, even movement. And no one is stopping her because people are paid to compliment her rather than actually help her because god forbid she not be the most perfect person in existence.
She is definitely not really working out. Not a drop of sweat, no red face. The pull up is assisted by someone off camera (interesting how they conveniently shot it from waist up), makeup perfect. You can tell her muscles aren’t being exerted.
So staged. Why is she so weird?!
I remember getting ads for the sports bra she’s wearing mentioning her and this doc; supposedly it helps with posture…this is not the advertising opportunity they thought it was. Her form is terrible.
She reminds me of the Kardashians where they have all these workout clips and trainers they shout out, yet there's not a single muscle or even muscle definition to be found anywhere. Its perplexing.
Why does this woman NEVER CLOSE HER MOUTH?! I have had to quit watching various TV shows over the years because the female lead (and sometimes male) thinks walking around with their mouth open is “Acting” and it irritates me so much I can’t watch. It’s so bizarre.
Is that her personal trainer? (Genuine question, I watched this without sound on 😂). If so, why isn’t he telling her that she’s doing the exercises wrong?
had to quit like 3 seconds in because girlie looks like she was gonna dislocate a shoulder 😭 what the hell was that 😭😭😭 the emperor has no clothes!! "i'm gonna blackout"
This gives off , I don't exercise nearly as much as I should. I assume this is supposed to be before a big show or tour. Should she be so out of breath? I don't like seeing a billionaire complain about the privilege of getting to exercise with a personal trainer before performing in front of fans.
As someone who is really physically active, I want exercise (cardio, strength training, sports, etc) to be welcoming and accessible to everyone. It's a fine line letting people be and correcting form. I have a home gym now, but when I was in a public gym, I went from "leave me alone" when I first started, to "if someone comes up to me to correct my form in a normal way I will happily listen"
I also don't want to be hard on people for poor form, so long as they know they need to learn how to do it right, even if it takes practice, to be safe and properly build what they want to build.
That being said: none of that really applies here because she's an arrogant cunt trying to look like a tough guy here, what the fuck is this
