THE REFORMER

Although Pilates has seen a spike in its popularity in the past couple of years, a lot of people still don’t understand just how beneficial Pilates is to your body. Marbella Pilates will surely make you love Pilates even more. Apart from weight loss, Pilates has one very important benefit—it improves your posture. Pilates focuses on the muscles whose main function is to support your spine. These muscles are specifically the abdominus, multifidus and the pelvic floor muscles. These muscles function as cushions wherein your spine lies in between. With regular Pilates exercises, these muscles become stronger and as a result makes your spines less vulnerable to injuries.

One of the most popular Pilates equipment is the Pilates reformer. The Pilates reformer can be intimidating when you first see it and may even appear to look like a torturing device but it has a multitude of benefits and one of them is strengthening the muscles that cushion your spine. Pilates routines that use Pilates reformers have become popular at Marbella Pilates but you can also easily get a portable one to use at home.

The Pilates reformer machine strengthens your core solidity and your postural alignment, while exercising your peripheral limbs in different motions. The modifiable springs permit advanced resistance, which facilitates the push and pull mechanism of muscles. Pilates is not an easy work-out regimen to follow but the definition you can achieve after rigorous working out is worth it all.

Pilates works differently compared to other methods of fitness. At Marbella Pilates we ensure that you find the perfect method for your needs. The Pilates reformer in itself targets your postural muscles and establishing strength from inside your core to your outer body and not the other way around. This allows the body to balance itself and bring it back to its proper alignment. Pilates will change your posture dramatically, by slowly incorporating the right balance between flexibility and strength.
