Like wearing a corset or swallowing a stop sign, performing Pilates helps to reshape the core. Achieve your ideal form with today's Groupon: for $229, you get a Bruciare Pilates chair from Bruciare Pilates (a $509 value). Shipping is included with this Groupon.

Developed by fitness experts and physical therapists, the Bruciare Pilates chair arrives at patrons' doors equipped to perform all the exercises in an accompanying instructional DVD. To see a demo of the Bruciare Pilates chair, visit here. Bruciare's patented spin seat integrates standard reformer-based exercises into its nontraditional design with long and short seat positions for better core support and superefficient spinning during high-stakes piñata tournaments. When incorporated into fitness routines, the seat focuses on lazy abdominal muscles to tighten up flabby cores. Attached resistance bands promise three levels of challenging upper-body workouts, and two springs within the chair vary exercise resistance from easy to challenging. The 40-minute instructional DVD guides owners through the proper use of the chair and plans of action should it become sentient, and a double-sided fitness chart offers quick reference to 15 exercises that tone and strengthen musculature.
