Why You Should Try Pilates Equipment

Cover of Pilates

Contrary to popular belief, the Pilates equipment is not necessarily harder or more advanced than the Pilates apparatus or equipment work. In fact, since the mat is an entirely open kinetic chain series it is in many ways more difficult.

Add to that the fact that many Pilates mat teachers in large gyms have only completed a 6-15 hour course in Pilates mat only, so have no idea about the whole system of Pilates and you have recipe for disaster. Pilates should not hurt your neck or back, and it can be difficult to understand how to move correctly in the mat alone.

This video contains a great explanation of why the Pilates apparatus work helps your body understand the mat better.
