Have you seen these little instruments of torture? 
Developed in Finland, and made available at various outlets through a distributor in Melbourne they have been available at Pilates conferences for a while now and we have a few on hand at the studio. You should see the clients grimace as they are handed one for an upper body workout.
“The Telescopic Gymstick is a great travelling fitness tool. It’s light and retracts down to to 72cm. It easily fits into a normal size suitcase or sports bag. Comes in four different resistance levels and includes a carry bag, instruction manual and a free Workout DVD!.”
Five pdf documents are available for download from the website, giving you plenty of guidance on it’s use. I quite like them for a new element to a clients’ workout, and the the Pilates principles of stabilisation and control can easily be applied in their use. Good fun for those that love their toys!
