The Pilates Spine Corrector Barrel was designed by Joseph Pilates to be used as a way to open the chest and to correct or restore the curve of the spine. As we age, muscles sometimes weaken causing our spine to lose its natural curve. The Spine Corrector Barrel strengthens the abdominal, back and shoulder muscles to keep the spine supple and young. The chest opens, shoulders straighten, and any "hump" back disappears. An open chest allows for easer, deeper breathing. The Spine Corrector Barrel workout also tones and trims your thighs and strengthens your core or powerhouse. The Pilates Spine Corrector Barrel is used in studios all over the world including Master Pilates Instructor Romana Kryzanowska's New York City studio. The included 20-minute workout video, features Romana Kryzanowska along with Pilates elite trainer, Marjolein Brugman. Marjolein explains and demonstrates each of the 14 exercises so you have the proper basic form to then follow Romana's studio workout.
