Here are more reasons why Centrifugal Barrel Finishing Machine.
1.Support & Challenge
Most beginners new to Pilates are weak and have no core strength. It is hard to have them try to lift their hips off the floor in mat exercises. In a standard mat repertoire of Pilates routines, there are a number of such routines. If we take the same exercise onto the reformer for instance, it will be much easier. With both feet in the foot straps, the resistance of the spring helps to support this same hip lift. There is no struggling, holding of breath or tension from shoulders in an effort to perform this routine. This is just one of the many examples of the kind of exercises that can be easily performed on the reformer.
2.Economy of Time
When you compare the result of working 60mins on mat verses on the machine over a period of time, it has been proven people working with machines are stronger, have better overall muscular strength and endurance. In fact, they developed better stamina and core as well. Given that we are all busy individuals busy with hectic life to run, it is certainly wise to consider this as a major factor in better management of time schedule.
3.Effective Resistance
Working with springs as a form of resistance gives you an effective edge over body resistance. Springs can be adjusted according to your fitness level and the specific routine to be performed. It can also be loaded heavy to assist in pelvic lifts and lighten up for simple arm range of motion. Body resistance usually does not change, unless one starts to put on weight from no exercise or any other reasons. Hence, there is no possibility of increase body weight to challenge you further.
Resistance gives muscle its tone and definition, effectively strength. It also prevents osteoporosis, the loss of bone density. Working with resistance also improves metabolic rate which burns more calories when the body is at rest.
4.Result Orientated
Pilates on mat achieved results over time like Pilates equipment does. But nothing beats the kind of achievement you can get from working on the machines. Each machine can target specific angle of the body, enabling it to work deeper and more effective. On mat, if a certain range of motion is not possible due to body limitations like inflexibility of a certain joint, it is wise not to force it to avoid injury.
These are just some great reasons why Pilates machines triumphs over mat work. Do a combination of both to see the results for yourself!
