Q.  Why are the springs used for resistance instead of weights?
A. In using springs for resistance, STOTT PILATES* EQUIPMENT provides gradual resistance as your muscles contract, which ensures the muscles are being worked properly. There is greater resistance at the muscle's strongest point of contraction and less resistance on the initiation/completion of the contraction so there is less stress on tendons and ligaments.
