The benefits of Pilates can be seen in the effects of the exercise on the core of the body. Many people use pilates as a way to increase their overall health, strength and flexibility.
Weight and resistance bands are available to adjust the machines to the level of which is required. It is so much easier to work out on a machine than to try and do the exercises on a mat. A machine allows the user to have refined movement, defined by the limits of the Pilates machine. When the same exercises are completed on a mat as opposed to a machine, it can yield heightened results.
When the same exercises are completed on a mat, the range of motion and resistance could be less than a machine.
