Ever since I discovered reformer Pilates, I've looked for inexpensive ways to do the workout. It delivers a great full-body burn without sweating it out cardio style. But even though I regularly strength train, I still struggle to see the results of my Pilates workouts.
A Pilates workout targets the smallest muscles in every area of the body. Those repetitive movements, pulses, and long holds often leave me shaking way before the final rep. I thought that regular practice, alongside my gym time, would make me strong enough, but I was struggling to find it any easier week to week.
