Very effective for toning up, this machine is almost half price during the sales. What if we now trained from home?
It is one of the favorite disciplines of celebrities and is attracting more and more women. And for good reason, it is full of benefits for the body and mind, promises to sculpt the silhouette and strengthen deep muscles, all without cardio or impact. In short, the dream. Gentle on the joints, it improves posture, relieves chronic pain and even helps recover after an injury. But now, this gentle discipline requires a very specific machine, and is generally practiced during fairly expensive group lessons. The alternative could then be to practice it at home. If the machine is extremely expensive, it seems that Decathlon has heard our prayers during this sales period.
In fact, the flagship sports brand is currently offering a spectacular reduction on the equipment essential for this practice. Usually reserved for specialized studios due to its price, the foldable Pilates Reformer Pro from the Mewave brand benefits from a -40% discount. The device then goes from €499 to €299. A golden opportunity to treat yourself to professional sessions at home without breaking the bank. When we know that a single studio class costs on average between €30 and €45, the machine pays for itself in just a few sessions.
But why such enthusiasm for this machine? Unlike traditional mat-based Pilates, the Reformer uses constant resistance. The muscles thus work in length, which makes it possible to draw fine, toned and slender muscles, without developing volume. It’s the absolute secret to obtaining an ultra-flat stomach, a strengthened back and shapely buttocks, all while protecting your knees and lower back. Beyond the physical, this routine also allows you to clear your head and release the tensions accumulated during the day.
On the practical side, this model from Mewave succeeds in bringing the experience of sports studios directly into the living room, but without invading the space. It contains all the elements of a classic reformer: the mobile platform, the straps in which to slide your hands or feet, as well as the springs to add resistance which intensifies the practice. The only difference is that it folds in half once the session is over to be only 25 cm thick. Enough to easily slide it under the bed or in a cupboard, thanks to its small transport wheels. The practical detail: a support to place the tablet or phone and follow a video course or listen to music.
