SYNERGY KINESIS
Pilates is typically
performed on specially designed spring-resistant exercise apparatus
such as the Reformer and the
Wunda Chair that provide resistance
and assistance as you move through various exercises. Other pieces
of equipment such as the Spine Corrector and the
Ladder Barrel assist in the stretching,
lengthening and strengthening of the spine. The Cadillac (named so because it has
all the bells and whistles) can be used to gently rehabilitate the
injured or challenge an athlete.
In addition to using specialized equipment, there is the Mat Work. The Mat Work is an entire series of exercises that are performed on the mat. Other then a comfortable mat, no equipment is necessary.
