Ladder Barrel

The Ladder Barrel is an unassuming piece of Pilates apparatus, yet again designed by Joseph Pilates. It is one the hardest pieces of apparatus as it has no springs or pulleys to help you perform the exercises, you simple have to use your own body weight and mobility. Because of the curved arc of the barrel you are required to move from flexion to extension or extension to flexion and this can take some time to gain the tools to achieve this.
