Challenging and Fun Pilates Experience
Today we finished our first complete chair Pilates session at Nufloe Pilates Studio, which was both tough and a bit surreal since balance and movement feel so different on this equipment. Created by Joseph Pilates to accommodate various seated, standing, and strengthening workouts, you never quite feel stable as you're essentially balancing while doing exercises typically done on the more familiar reformer. The Pilates chair resembles something that would fit right into Christian Grey’s red room (if you know, you know); it's basically a box with a padded seat on top and a pedal on one side connected by springs. These springs let you adjust the pedal's tension, making exercises easier or harder, and our wonderful instructor, Shavi, certainly didn’t hesitate to ramp up the difficulty. The chair workouts emphasize core strength, enhanced flexibility, balance, and mental well-being. Thanks to Shavi’s expert guidance, we had a full-body workout today that was both challenging and enjoyable. This will definitely become a regular part of my fitness routine.
