Pilates is an excellent way to build muscle and tone your body without extensive stress to your joints. There are approximately 500 workout plans devised to build up the whole body. Whether it is toning your entire body or targeting a specific area, there is Pilates exercise equipment available for you too purchase. Read on to find out more.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Purchase basic Pilates exercise equipment, which consists of a Pilates mat or a basic yoga mat.

  2. Step 2

    Use the Pilates Magic Circle to sculpt problematic areas like the thighs and upper body area. It's a fiberglass exercise ring that was created by Joseph Pilates, the inventor of the Pilates fitness plan. You can purchase the ring and an instructional video on websites like Amazon or Comfort Channel. There is limited availability in stores.

  3. Step 3

    Exercise and tighten your entire body with the Reformer Pilates Machine. Anyone from the novice trainee to the advanced user can benefit from this piece of equipment. It is a sliding carriage that allows you to move backwards and forwards to achieve your fitness goals. Other variations of the machine are called a home studio system or an Aero Pilates machine. An instructional video is recommended with purchase since it is usually not included with the machine.

  4. Step 4

    Use the good ole fashion Pilate fitness DVD or video. Usually armed with just a resistance band and/or a ball, this can help your body get fit and toned, without taking up a lot of space in your home.

  5. Step 5

    Burn fat continuously with a Pilates Box and Pole even after you have reached your plateau. It is inevitable when exercising that your body starts to retain "body shape memory." This piece of exercise equipment has adjustable levels that will continue to help you change your body's structure.

Tips & Warnings
  • You can generally find any Pilates accessories at a discount store such as Wal-Mart, a sporting goods store, or online.
