The Ladder Barrel offers some of the most beneficial and accessible abdominal exercises in the whole Pilates Method. The barrel’s rounded surface is there to encourage the spine to move into extension and flexion in a supported way.
The barrel forces the spine to move through a greater range of motion than on the mat or on the other equipment and this makes these exercises some of the most challenging in the Pilates repertoire.
Thanks to this piece of Pilates equipment, it naturally enhances the bodies sensory systems to optimize natural muscle activation and movement.
