More Great Reasons to do Reformer Pilates in Olathe–The reformer given to the entire frame used in Reformer Pilates in Olathe is probably the most famous of the Pilates equipment. If you are not familiar, it looks kind of scary and alien. In reformer Pilates in Olathe, a frame, called the ‘carriage’, moves around on wheels and is attached to one end by a set of springs, which provides resistance as the platform is moved. There’s also a foot bar and long straps, which can be used by the legs and arms, and shoulder blocks for stopping the practitioner from falling off when working out.
What are the benefits of the machine used for Reformer Pilates in Olathe?
Well, the benefits include improving strength and flexibility. The majority of the time on the machine is spent pushing and pulling against the platform and causing resistance.

Despite reports to the contrary and leading the public to believe otherwise, Pilates doesn’t create long, lean muscles. You can’t really lengthen your muscles. It is impossible to make your muscles longer than your bones.
What it does do, is strengthen your muscles. This is through something called ‘eccentric muscle contractions’, which is the name given to the motion of an active muscle lengthening. It acts as it resists a force or load. Eccentric training, which is the category that reformer Pilates falls under, involves doing this repeatedly.
