What is better, mat or equipment Pilates exercises?
The fundamental Pilates workout can be performed on a Pilates mat alone and great results can be achieved through beginner, intermediate and advanced moves. However, the various equipment pieces such as the Reformer and Cadillac incorporate light spring resistance that works muscles to safely sculpt, tone and stretch the muscles. Smaller Pilates equipment pieces such as therabands, exercise balls also provide an element of variety and focus to a Pilates workout. Each session offers variety so that no two workouts are alike.
