The Cadillac, the most spectacular Pilates machine
October 21, 2016
One of the many machines invented by Joseph Pilates, the Cadillac is the most impressive. More spectacular than the Reformer, it allows the practice of 120 different Pilates exercises. Once designed for the rehabilitation of bedridden patients, it is now accessible to anyone wishing to strengthen their muscles and sculpt their body harmoniously, without danger or pain. Despite its sophisticated appearance and numerous features, the Cadillac is suitable for all Pilates practitioners, beginners and advanced alike.
What is Cadillac?
A muscle-strengthening machine, the Cadillac offers greater resistance than that produced by the body. Thanks to its exceptional design, it allows an infinite number of multidirectional movements: front to back, top to bottom, balancing, rotating, etc. It features a sliding bench and a variety of accessories, including handles, springs and horizontal bars, for working the whole body, whether seated, lying down or in suspension.
What’s the Cadillac for?
The Cadillac works different parts of the body. Like the Reformer, this machine forms the basis of Pilates, designed to improve understanding of the key principles of the method: the neutral position, the central line, pelvic stability, …
The Cadillac is accessible to beginners and advanced riders alike. It’s adjustable, so it can be adapted to each individual’s level. This machine allows you to perform muscle-building, stretching and posture exercises… ideal for strengthening muscles, sculpting the body and refining the silhouette.
How does the Cadillac work?
Breathing, concentration, fluidity, gentleness… The Pilates exercises performed on the Cadillac are inspired by Oriental gymnastics and other sports practices. The emphasis is on the quality of the movements, executed slowly and precisely. Some exercises focus on the deep muscles of the trunk, responsible for holding the body in place, others work the joint muscles to improve flexibility, and others are much more dynamic and designed to strengthen the cardiovascular system.
