![Page 2: Pilates Fitness Equipment](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555e3b75d8b42aad058b4d3f/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
The original purpose of pilates was to establish a connection between the
mind and body so they could function as a unit.
![Page 3: Pilates Fitness Equipment](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555e3b75d8b42aad058b4d3f/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
It was accomplished through a sequence of actions which included alignment, breathing, concentrating, precision, flow, control, flexibility and
being able centre ones’ self.

Originally, these actions didn’t require the use of equipment, except for an
exercise mat.

However, without the equipment, people weren’t experiencing body
fitness.
![Page 6: Pilates Fitness Equipment](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555e3b75d8b42aad058b4d3f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
As a result, pilates equipment were created to allow for better resistance
training.

The Reformer is the most popular pilates fitness equipment used
because it lets you work on each basic pilates element while helping you to develop core strength and increase
flexibility.
![Page 8: Pilates Fitness Equipment](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555e3b75d8b42aad058b4d3f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
While reformers come in a variety of designs, the function is the same.
![Page 9: Pilates Fitness Equipment](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555e3b75d8b42aad058b4d3f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
You can do a variety of exercises with this equipment laying down, sitting,
kneeling or standing.
![Page 10: Pilates Fitness Equipment](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555e3b75d8b42aad058b4d3f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The great thing about this particular machine is that it doesn’t matter what level of fitness you are to experience results as the resistance level can be
easily adjusted.
![Page 11: Pilates Fitness Equipment](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555e3b75d8b42aad058b4d3f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Another set of pilates equipment is the trapeze table.
![Page 12: Pilates Fitness Equipment](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555e3b75d8b42aad058b4d3f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
It is a versatile machine that looks almost like a cage.
![Page 13: Pilates Fitness Equipment](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555e3b75d8b42aad058b4d3f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
One example of what you can do with the trapeze table is leg exercises.
![Page 14: Pilates Fitness Equipment](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555e3b75d8b42aad058b4d3f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
You can lie face down and fasten the strap around your leg and pull it down.
![Page 15: Pilates Fitness Equipment](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555e3b75d8b42aad058b4d3f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
You will feel the resistance in your thighs and calves.
![Page 16: Pilates Fitness Equipment](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555e3b75d8b42aad058b4d3f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
You can also sit down while holding the straps then pull on the straps
while lying down and then sit back up again.
![Page 17: Pilates Fitness Equipment](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555e3b75d8b42aad058b4d3f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
This is a great workout for the core.
![Page 18: Pilates Fitness Equipment](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555e3b75d8b42aad058b4d3f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
While these equipment may seem complicated and are mostly found in
gyms because they are so bulky, there are other types of equipment you can
use at home for pilates.
![Page 19: Pilates Fitness Equipment](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555e3b75d8b42aad058b4d3f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
One such equipment is the exercise ball also known as fitness balls, swiss balls, balance balls and stability balls.
![Page 20: Pilates Fitness Equipment](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555e3b75d8b42aad058b4d3f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Exercise balls are not traditional pilates equipment but they are very
popular in the pilates world.
![Page 21: Pilates Fitness Equipment](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555e3b75d8b42aad058b4d3f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The reason for their popularity is that they make balancing very challenging
when you sit or lay on them.
![Page 22: Pilates Fitness Equipment](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555e3b75d8b42aad058b4d3f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Another great example of pilates equipment that can be used at home
is the rebounder.
![Page 23: Pilates Fitness Equipment](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555e3b75d8b42aad058b4d3f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Traditionally, it’s a bulky machine but there are many versions designed just
for home use.
![Page 24: Pilates Fitness Equipment](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555e3b75d8b42aad058b4d3f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
It enhances flexibility and gives a great cardio workout.
![Page 25: Pilates Fitness Equipment](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555e3b75d8b42aad058b4d3f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Another convenient equipment which is easy to use at home is the pilates
ring.
![Page 26: Pilates Fitness Equipment](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555e3b75d8b42aad058b4d3f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
This definitely adds resistance to your workout, giving you toned arms and
shoulders.
![Page 27: Pilates Fitness Equipment](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555e3b75d8b42aad058b4d3f/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Doing floor work is a big part of pilates.
![Page 28: Pilates Fitness Equipment](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555e3b75d8b42aad058b4d3f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
For this reason an exercise mat will be of great service.
![Page 29: Pilates Fitness Equipment](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555e3b75d8b42aad058b4d3f/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
There are lots of pilates exercises that require you to sit or lie down so you will need a soft surface to support your arms, bottom, legs and back.
![Page 30: Pilates Fitness Equipment](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555e3b75d8b42aad058b4d3f/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
A good mat for doing pilates won’t be too soft so that it can provide firm
enough support to develop alignment and balance in your body but soft
enough that you won’t feel discomfort when doing the exercises.
