Malibu Pilates Chair-A Closer Look
If you are looking around for a great piece of exercise equipment, consider the Malibu Pilates Chair. Like most machines of this type, the MPC is getting major attention from the lose weight crowd. And there is a good reason for this. Technology like this isn't just about your life easier, it's about getting things done well. If you are concerned about weight loss, or even just staying in shape, you are going to need the correct strategy for doing so. You need to learn to work smarter, not just harder.
Compared to the Pilates Reformer, which really is the top of the pile of quality exercise equipment, the Malibu Pilates Chair is much smaller and easy to manage. You'll find it so lightweight that moving it out of the way is a snap. Like the PR it has no problem giving you a full body work out. But what it won't do is cost you an arm and a leg. At just under $350, it is very cost effective. The Reformer is more in the two to three thousand dollar range.
If you are looking for an entry point into the Pilates machine world, the Chair is a great one. As a novice, start out a little slower. Don't worry you'll soon be sweating with the best of them. And like I mentioned, it won't take up too much room.
The Malibu chair makes your workout so much easier. Not that it does the work for you, but it will make your workout more effective. The way it is designed, as you progress in its program you will begin to watch the all those pounds melt away like magic.
When I was still in my "hefty" days I didn't have all these easy methods. It was hours in the gym with sweat, pain, and months of struggle. If this had been around I don't see any problem of being able to easily lose 20 pounds in one month…or perhaps less.
Just so I don't give the impression that this is perfect I'll mention a couple of the down sides: The one I used at the local health club seemed to offer a greater range of functional motion, but I suppose that comes down to additional cost as well. I like a longer workout that the basic 20 minute one that comes on the free DVD. But that is fie because there is the full hour long Body Sculpting session on there as well. And don't forget that it comes with a wall chart and custom diet program.
