AeroPilates is the smart and intelligent way to retrain your body, mind and soul. It is an all encompassing method of Pilates that focuses on the whole body. Primarily, it is concerned with developing correct posture and efficient movement patterns. Since no clinical studies have ever been performed on a reformer we decided to put our AeroPilates system to the test. The goal of the study was to thoroughly examine AeroPilates, an exercise program that combines Pilates Strength Training with supine Cardio Rebounding; which can be accomplished by a majority of people, and to determine whether there are significant fitness and weight loss effects. Pilates is renowned for its unique multiple plane movements and is well touted for the wide array of benefits it provides including Improved Strength, Mobility, Endurance, Flexibility, Core Stability, Proprioception, Control and Coordination as well as Mind/ Body Stress reduction. It has long been used for rehabilitation and is typically performed on a reformer or on a mat on the floor. I have prepared a short summary of our findings but if you care to read an in depth discussion of the study performed by Neil Wolkodoff, PhD, Sue Peterson and Jeff Miller, PhD.
