Guides
Which board fits which person, whether you want a board or a reformer, what floors and knees need, the reformer work a board cannot do, what a first month looks like, and how to size up a folding reformer.
Sliding pilates boards
Board or reformer?
What a sliding board shares with a reformer, what it leaves out, and which of the two your floor, your budget and the exercises you actually want point to.
Floors, knees and bands: what the listings leave out
The things that decide whether a board gets used: which floors it slides and stays put on, how to pad the knees, how long latex bands last and how to tell when one is done.
The first month on a board
How to set a board up so it stays in use: where to put it, what to put under it, a session that fits in twenty minutes, and the signs you have outgrown the bands.
Which pilates board do I need?
Seven situations and what fits each: the lunges from class, wood under the knees, the real reformer repertoire, heavier bands, the leg-in-straps series, a studio flat, or a first try. Each names a kind of gear and a model or two, with the specs that decide it.
