As a beginner, all the Pilates exercise equipment you will need is loose fit clothes, which are as comfortable as possible in order to allow you to move effortlessly, and a mat. A mat? Yes. Most Pilates exercise entails mat work which can be considered to be the basis of Pilates exercises. The best Pilates mat should be thick and sturdy which can be used in gyms, homes or studios. Most of the Pilates mat is created for supporting and cushioning the spine throughout the mat work regimes.
