Essential Low cost Home Equipment For No studio Pilates Practice
Simple affordable gear to upgrade your at home mat pilates workouts
If you want to enjoy regular Pilates practice from the comfort of your own home, you do not need to spend thousands of dollars buying large studio style fitness machines. However, a few small, low cost pieces of equipment can greatly improve your home workout comfort, safety and training effect. Many beginners start practicing on a hard living room floor without any cushion support, which can create uncomfortable pressure on knees, hips and spine.
Full list of must have and optional items for your home fitness corner
The most essential home practice item is a thick, non slip fitness mat. After you own a good mat, you can slowly add optional accessories such as resistance bands, a soft pilates ball and a magic circle. You do not need to buy every accessory at once. Start with one small tool, master exercises with that piece of equipment, then add new items gradually. Creating a small dedicated fitness corner at home will also greatly increase your motivation to complete your scheduled pilates workouts each week.
