Reformers are the most popular piece of Pilates equipment.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

LEG & BUTT WORK<\/strong><\/p>\n

CIRCLES<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"reformer\"<\/p>\n

Lie down on the reformer, arms by your sides, palms facing down, feet in straps, extend legs straight and together 45\u00b0.<\/p>\n

Inhale and start moving your legs in outward circles.<\/p>\n

After completing 5 reps, circle your legs in the opposite direction.<\/p>\n
