I will share with you the pros and cons of using a Pilates chair to help you decide if it's the Atlanta pilates equipment for you or not. Let's have a look at them now:
Pros of using a Pilates chair
Here is why you might say YES to a Pilates chair.
Tones the entire body and offers a light cardio workout
A Pilates exercise chair is excellent for toning the entire body, and it also gives the user a light cardio workout. It also stretches and lengthens the muscles while strengthening the core (the muscles of your lower back, abs and hip flexors).
Get a professional Pilates workout.
The Pilates chair gives a workout that can be compared to a professional Pilates workout if you use the Pilates chair correctly.
Relatively inexpensive
The chair won't cost you an arm and a leg and is much less expensive than a Pilates machine - making it a great choice for when you are on a budget. The only Pilates equipment that is even less expensive is the Pilates band.
Portable
You can pack the Pilates exercise chair up and take it wherever you go - making it one of the most portable Pilates equipment yet (along with a Pilates band and ring).
Convenient
You can use the Pilates workout chair to exercise in the comfort of your own home, office or wherever you want, and you don't even have to step a foot out of the house to use it.
Cons of using a Pilates chair
Here is why you might say NO to a Pilates chair.
Can be uncomfortable
If you use the Pilates exercise chair in the wrong way, it can be quite uncomfortable. So make sure to read or watch the instruction booklet/DVD to make sure that you use it the right way.
Pilates beginner
IF you are a Pilates beginner, you are better off getting a proper Pilates machine or by taking a few classes first before using the Pilates chair as it can be quite advanced.
Not best for weight loss
If your main aim is to lose weight, the Pilates exercise chair might not be for you. The Pilates workout chair might help you lose a little bit of weight, but you are more likely to gain a few pounds (because muscle weighs more than fat). You will, however, have more muscle definition, and you will get leaner.
Need storage space
If you are short on space, you should rather use smaller Pilates equipment like the ring or the band, because although the Pilates chair is not too big, it still needs space.
I hope you now have a better understanding of whether the Pilates exercise chair will be the right Pilates equipment for you or not. If you do decide to invest, make sure that you use it regularly, and that is doesn't become covered in dust.
