Although pilates has been practised for many years, the concept of doing pilates at home or in a studio class, came into the mainstream around 10 years ago. Pilates, which is a gentle form of exercise is based around the teachings of Joseph Pilates. It aims to improve your core strength through the 7 principles of pilates which aids in all areas of your life.
Practising pilates from home is easy these days with the development of some commercial style pilates equipment, made especially for the home. Pilates home equipment is now no longer expensive and reserved just for the professional studios.
The Pilates aero machine is one of the most beneficial and most popular pilates home equipment pieces available today. It contains all of the weighted pullies that the pilates resistance training relies on, as well as a spring board, so cardio training can also be added to the exercise regime.
