I suppose it is a well known fact that most people in the western world would love to change their bodies and look a lot better. And because of this the fitness machine industry has become a multi-million dollar business. And there is no better place to start, when reviewing this industry, than with the very well known Pilates machines, like the Pilates Reformers.
Although I assume you already know this if you are reading this article, Pilates was developed by Joseph Pilates while interred in a prison camp during World War 2. It is estimated that there are over 10.6 million Pilates practitioners in the U.S. alone.
Although there are a number of different Pilates machines available online for you to purchase, I want to talk about two of the more popular models. The first is the Pilates Reformer. The reformer looks a little like some form of rowing equipment but it’s actually a lot more than that. It really offers a chance to get a complete whole body work out.
It works each and every muscle group using 32 different exercises and then folds up easily for instant storage. It even allows for a variety of skill levels to keep pushing you to lose that weight and tone your physique.
Next is the Malibu Pilates Chair. This Pilates chair was a real eye opener for me. Who could have thought that you could get such an intense workout while sitting on your butt? Although it will set you back about $350 (not the $14.95 the commercial mentions), it is a nice choice and will satisfy your workout needs.
It could have been a little more portable for my tastes but I use it in combination with my Pilates DVD power machine workout. That said, it does come with its own work out DVD and a great wall chart for measuring your progress. Chair Pilates is sort of a new concept that is sweeping the diet world and taking it by storm. This device targets the abs and core strength centers of your torso and gives you a gut wrenching hour of power (if you can last that long).
You don’t really need any sort of equipment to practice Pilates but these machines can amp up your exercise regimen and take it to a whole new level. Each of these tools are quite readily available on the internet to make your purchasing decisions much easier. Think about a Pilates machine for your next fitness purchase.
