Academia Ruy Medina Rua Visconde de Pirajá, 462/201 Ipanema, Rio de Janeiro CEP: 22411-010 Tel.: 2523-0320 Our project was done at Ruy
Medina’s Gym Class, located at Ipanema, on Visconde de Pirajá street, 462 / 201
where people were very welcoming and nice to us. We worked with Ruy himself, that
seemed to understand and be interested in our project, what motivated us. Besides
owning the gym, Ruy teaches the form fitness classes, witch we watched and followed
during 6 months. The students were women between 30 and 40 years old and were
from 5 to 7 per class. Beside the class that we
watched during this period, the gym also offers other classes like bodybuilding, capoeira, step and others. During classes, Ruy did extension
, sustention and lifting exercises using objects like weights and sticks. After knowing Ruy’s vocabulary
universe we chose with him the theme phrase for the project: “With laziness you get nothing”. The phrase resumes a little of
every exercise done in class, because Ruy was always motivating and
stimulating his students. After testing several objects
enclosing all types of materials like: MDF, foam, elastics, hangers and
paperboard we decided that the next objects would be related with the extension
exercise, and therefore with the elastics. From that point forward we
built several objects using different types off elastics (two types of rubber
bands, clothes elastics and garotte) but we chose to do an extensor that
would be bonded on feet by straps and bond together by an garotte. To the construction the object was
divided into two parts, the strap and the elastic that afterwards was bounded
by a key chain. The strap was done with a rectangular piece
of denim with 25cmx7cm sewed with two 20cm
Velcro straps. Between the two velcros we put two eyelets were the key chain would be put. The elastic was folded in the
edges and bonded. It measured 30cm and was covered with an fabric strap to
avoid contact of the rubber with skin. Após a
montagem de ambas as partes, o anel foi colocado por dentro dos ilhoses (de
espessura 5mm) e a abertura do garrote. All 7 pieces were done the same
way. At the final testing Ruy told
us the product was great and showed us another use for it: bonding the straps
on the fists. He also sowed us all the different uses for it (stretching in
the front, on sides, on the back upwards etc.) in different positions (standing,
holding the bar, laid down, etc.). Clarice Rodriguez : Doing this to me was, besides dedicating
myself to knowing a hole new universe, is opening my mind and eyes to see
trough other persons eyes. This way we make sure we can make some difference
for someone, somewhere for some time and knowing this is what I chose for a
career really satisfies me. I’m thankful
for Giulia’s support during all the period what made me and her more friends.
I’m thankful for the opportunity Ruy gave us, what made me grow up by
entering a new place with new eyes. Giulia Madalozzo: This
semester I learned a lot inside and outside class. At the gym I learned a lot about the
human body, its moves, about fitness classes, its objects and motivation. In
the classes teachers help and knowledge helped a lot as much as the workshops
and tests. Beside all that I could got to know different types of elastics
and a little bit of sewing. I’m thankful for Clarice’s friendship, because
without it nothing of this could be possible. I’m thankful for Ruy’s support
what made the project possible. Subject: DSG 1002 Class: 1AD Professores: Ana Branco e Luis Vicente |
