If you are one of those who have always wanted to try the pilates reformer but were held back by the prices of specialized studios or the lack of space at home, get ready because Lidl has just launched its own pilates machine for only 299.99 euros. This is a real opportunity to set up your own wellness center in your living room without having to take out a mortgage or give up the square meters of your home.
This device is not a toy, but a multifunctional device designed for those looking to tone their body with precision. Its steel structure is stable and foldable, which means that, once you finish your session, you can store it horizontally so that it doesn’t get in the way. In addition, it has integrated wheels so that moving its 31.5 kg of weight is not an extra gym session.
A training tailored to you
The key to this reformer It is its versatility. It comes with 5 levels of adjustable resistance, silent pulleys that can be placed at three different heights, and a padded footrest with four different angles.
It doesn’t matter if you are a beginner or if you already have experience: the machine adapts to your strength so that you advance at your own pace, supporting a maximum load of up to 120 kg. But how do we start training? The first thing is security. Before getting on you have to put on comfortable sports clothing and don’t forget to warm up. It is essential to prepare your neck and shoulders before starting.
The ‘trick’ to avoid injury is very simple: perform the movements fluidly, never abruptly, and always breathe. Exhale when you make an effort and inhale when you relax.
Your exercise plan in the living room
To notice real results, the ideal is to create a routine of six to eight exercises. You can start with the ‘seated strap extension’ to work the trunk and arms or dare with the ‘supported leg lunge’ to strengthen the hips and thighs. Lidl’s recommendation is to do 12 repetitions per exercise, repeating the series three times. Of course, always leaving 30 seconds of rest between sets.
Now, if you are looking for something more intense, kneeling exercises for lateral abdominals or rhombus leg extension are perfect for sculpting your belly. The best thing is that the machine includes instructions with detailed examples so you don’t feel lost at any time.
197 cm to train comfortably
One of the biggest concerns when purchasing exercise equipment is where to put it. This Lild model measures about 197 cm long when unfolded, but its intelligent design allows it to be visually integrated into the home without giving a feeling of clutter. Its finishes in careful materials ensure that, in addition to being functional, it is durable.
When finished, you just need to wipe it with a damp cloth with water (no aggressive products) and fold it. Storing it dry and at room temperature will ensure you have a gym for many years.
