Malibu Pilates Chair review

The Malibu Pilates Chair (the newest version as there are several old ones) is easy to put together and takes little time.  It can be folded down & stored under the bed, though I leave mine out so I'll use it!  DVD instructions and a huge chart show how to use it.  This equipment would be for light to moderate exercisers; some movements would challenge a regular exerciser.  You can adjust the springs to 2 levels.  I have read reviews that the springs are hard to find (replace) but they are very sturdy and I won't need to address that for years.

Initially, I thought the springs weren't adjustable enough & the resistance wasn't strong enough.  After using it, you'll find it works every muscle group.  Use it as gently or rigourously as you want.  I'm just getting back into exercising & this chair is fun & motivating.  Don't expect miracles, but any device that inspires me to work out is worth it.  You'll feel your muscles even after a burst of rigorous usage for 10 minutes.  I often watch TV (device has no noise) and pace myself for 30+ min.

My grandchildren love it too.  Of course I'm right there while they're playing.  (I'm sure the manufacturer doesn't recommend this).  The chair is a bit expensive at $300, but you can find it MUCH cheaper on EBAY.  There is no exercise you can do with this chair that you can't do with something else, but it truly is fun.
