Pilates@home using a home reformer: aeroplane

Reformers are the most popular piece of Pilates equipment.

With its system of springs and ropes, a Reformer provides both resistance and assistance to the exercises. This expands the variety of exercises you can do and allows them to be easier or more difficult, depending on your needs.
