Redcord® Equipment facilitates Ultimate Core training for the BEST Total Body Workout

Redcord Equipment features a dual suspension point system on which the suspension exercises are executed. With the Redcord® Active total body workout, you are always working with your own body weight, it becomes the ultimate core training workout. And because the Redcord® equipment allows for adjustments and modifications for all fitness levels, clients ranging from athletes to seniors, weekend warriors to couch potatoes can all experience an amazing total body workout. Moreover, unlike other suspension exercise systems, the dual suspension point feature of the Redcord® equipment allows for unilateral as well as aerial applications to take ultimate core training to new heights.

How Does it Work?
As many of you Pilates practitioners know, the involuntary muscles of the body can only be challenged through instability, and yet only a finite amount of instability can be created in a traditional Pilates setting before the risk of injury becomes too great. The Redcord® equipment creates an unstable environment that is also safe and comfortable, so clients at all levels of fitness have a means to target their core muscles and build strength safely and effectively. Redcord® Active restores muscle balance by retraining the right muscle to fire, thus facilitating proper movement patterns. The Redcord® Active system helps identify muscle imbalances – the overactive and inactive muscles – and then provides a specific exercise to address the imbalance. With its customizable set-up, Redcord® Active easily accommodates all clients regardless of movement limitations or restrictions.
