Resistance Pilates is a form of exercise that utilizes resistance bands and other equipment to challenge the muscles and promote strength and flexibility. It is designed to assist you rather than work against you by making moves less intense, workouts more focused on incorporating multiple muscle groups harmoniously, and improving your level of safety in each move.
