Health / Pilates / Mat

Mat: The most popular Pilates apparatus, since it is the most economical and can be used at home, on the job, or during vacations. It’s a major foundation of the Method, as all exercises are done with natural movements. The exercises work the Powerhouse, including the abs, and lay the groundwork for all other exercise equipment. The Mat should be sturdy enough to provide strong support for your back. You may also work on a thick rug with a towel or blanket under you.
