CON ACCESORIOS
Pilates with accessories is a variation of the Pilates method that uses different objects or accessories to add resistance and difficulty to the exercises. These accessories can include elastic bands, Pilates balls, Pilates rings, suspension straps, sliding discs, among others.
This type of Pilates is based on the fundamental principles of the method, such as concentration, control, fluidity of movements, breathing and body alignment. However, by using accessories, different muscle groups can be worked more intensely and specifically.
Some examples of Pilates exercises with accessories include:
- Sit-ups with an elastic band: the band is placed around the feet and sit-ups are performed to strengthen the core area.
- Squats with sliding disc: a sliding disc is placed under each foot and squats are performed to work the muscles of the legs and glutes.
- Plank with a fitball: a plank is performed by supporting the forearms on a fitball, which requires greater core stabilization work.
- Push-ups with suspension straps: push-ups are performed holding the suspension straps, which adds instability and greater strength work.
- Pilates ring stretches: Pilates rings are used to facilitate and expand the stretches of different muscle groups.
These are just a few examples, since there are countless Pilates exercises with accessories that can be adapted to the needs and levels of each person. This variant of Pilates is very versatile and allows for greater variety in the exercises, which can make the sessions more dynamic and fun.
