For a long time, Pilates was considered for celebrities and professional athletes. Now, however, it has become extremely popular. You may even know many who do Pilates and are probably trying to figure out what makes it so popular.

Pilates has something for everybody, whatever age, fitness level, gender, ability, or size. With Pilates, a workout or exercise repertoire can be done with simply a mat as well as specialized Pilates equipment, which has well over 500 exercises with almost countless variations. 

The most common equipment used in Pilates is the reformer machine. It can be used in numerous different ways to achieve a full-body workout. Aside from simply getting some physical activity, the reformer has other benefits listed below.

Tones & Strengthens Muscles

Pilates, whether mat, reformer, or aero Pilates, allows you to engage all the muscles in your body. With the reformer, its moving parts and the varying resistance levels allow your muscles to work harder than they normally would on a mat. 

Suitable for Everyone

Exercises on the reformer machine are low impact, making it suitable for all, whether a senior adult, recovering from illness or injury, pregnant or post-natal, or just someone who wants a gentle workout. The ability to adjust springs to achieve various tension levels allows you to exercise as per your preference. 

Helps to Improve Concentration and Mindfulness

Aeropilates or reformer Pilates involves the use of moving equipment. Most exercises on the equipment require balance and focus, enabling you to chase away worries and problems while you work out as you need to focus. It helps to improve coordination, balance, and mindfulness, and you feel less anxious. 

Helps You Meet Fitness Goals

By regularly participating in Pilates classes using Pilates equipment like the reformer, you will be able to tone your muscles, improve your body’s flexibility, enhance your endurance, and, when combined with a healthy diet, can help you lose weight. 

Helps Reduce Muscle and Joint Aches & Pains

Reformer workouts focus on controlled movements and correct alignment to aid in strengthening the core muscles, neck, and back. A strong back, neck, and core help reduce strains, muscle tightness, and overall pain. 

Workouts on the Pilates Reformer offer many advantages that will help you enhance both your physical and mental wellness.
