Total body workout with a Pilates machine

While you might be familiar with the Pilate workout series of equipment, which features balls, mats, jump ropes and precise instructions for exercising in the correct manner, the idea of a Pilates machine might seem alien to you. It makes sense, however, that a technique that is this beneficial to the human body should have some kind of higher intensity version. The Pilates machine range takes the system to the next level, giving a more intensive workout, but using the same guiding principles as all other Pilates equipment.

Your first introduction to the Pilates exercise system may well have been through floor exercise on a Pilates mat or other general purpose yoga mat. The Pilates machine uses these forms as a starting point, but then throws in all the advantages that we associate with working out using an artificial device.

Part of this is providing varying levels of resistance, as it is, the traditional system only allows you to work against your own body. This is fine for trimming, but the only way to get more out of your workout is to continue it for longer. The Pilates machine changes this, by providing up to four levels of resistance – where you were previously pushing against air, you are now pushing against a set of heavy duty elastic cords.

If climbing up and down from your Pilates machine doesn’t appeal to you, there is now a sturdy stand which serves two purposes. One, it allows you to mount and dismount with ease, and two, you can perform even more exercises because you have ground clearance, required for some of the more advanced workouts.
