When doing roll downs -- the sloooowww, painful kind where you stop at the hardest point and then hold-hold-hold-I'mgonnadie-hold-hold-release -- the other night Madison reminded us of yet more advice that applies on and off the reformer:
"When it gets really hard, just make it look easy. If it looks easy, it actually feels easy."
Sounds sort of ridiculous, but he has a point. Feigning effortless doesn't lead so much into cheating and finding shortcuts, but actually getting so deep into the hard stuff that you're learning something new and in effect teaching your brain/body a new trick.
