What are the benefits of the specialised Pilates equipment?
Pilates equipment, unlike other fitness equipment, is designed to challenge stabilization of one segment while moving other parts of the body. No free flowing movement in life can be achieved without good stabilization. It is the combination and the balance between these that makes movement efficient and non-stressful on the joints. This is what makes the method so functional. Additionally, the resistance is produced by springs instead of weights. The springs provide gradual resistance as the muscles contract.
