Keep Your Weight Loss Resolution with a new Pilates Reformer
KEEP YOUR WEIGHT LOSS RESOLUTION WITH A NEW PILATES REFORMER
If you’re determined to lose weight, a Pilates Reformer is a great piece of equipment to buy. You’ll still need to watch what you eat, but with a Pilates Reformer, you’ll have everything you need for your exercise routine. This is especially true if you buy a Pilates Reformer that is combined with a trapeze table. Pilates Reformers are available combined with either a half trapeze or a full trapeze. If your budget will allow, purchasing a Pilates Reformer with either a half trapeze or full trapeze means you will be able to perform a few more exercises on it. However, the Pilates Reformer itself is a solid piece of equipment as well.
The Calves and the Abs
There are a lot of places on your body you may want to tone. To work your calves, using the Pilates Reformer with Half Trapeze or Pilates Reformer with Full Trapeze, we recommend you place your equipment in trapeze table mode, which isn’t that hard to do. Put your feet into the straps, reach behind your head and take hold of the trapeze posts, and raise your legs straight up. Straighten your legs, relax, and repeat. To work your abs, stand up. Put your legs on the Trapeze Bar and grab the sides of the top frame. Pull your body up, relax, and repeat. You will feel the tension in your abs.
The Hips and the Thighs
Other places on your body you may want to tone are your hips and thighs. One way to do that is through an exercise known as leg circles. To do this one, lie down on your Pilates Reformer and place your legs in the straps again. Point your toes on one of your legs toward the ceiling, and slowly circle that leg out and back. Repeat as often as desired, and switch to the other leg. In Reformer mode, you can try the lunge to accomplish the same goal. Lie down on the carriage, and push your body in and out with one of your legs against the footbar. Again, repeat as many times as desired and then switch legs.
The Final Decision
The final decision about which piece of equipment to buy and when to begin your exercise routine is obviously up to you. Whether you decide to purchase a Pilates Reformer, Pilates Reformer with Half Trapeze or Pilates Reformer with Full Trapeze, each of these pieces of equipment will help you to work towards your New Year's weight loss resolution.
