𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 - Hip flexors and ABS using the Reformer or the Mat with sliders⁣
Compression is useful for so many pilates and non pilates things but there are 300000 ways to train hip flexors and this might not be your first go to if you are just investigating making them stronger, or if your hips feel icky! Posts to come on this. ⁣
⁣
The reformer carriage (No springs!) adds weight which is both helpful to create greater range of motion with the weight of the carriage yet harder because there is weight in the carriage.⁣
⁣
𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐌𝐚𝐭- ⁣
1.Hands on blocks⁣
2.Smaller range of motion⁣
⁣
𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐌𝐚𝐭⁣
1.Add leg weights (Go heavy if you dare!)⁣
⁣
𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐑𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐫- ⁣
1. Add a spring to help you⁣
2.Hands on bar ⁣
3.Reduce range of motion⁣
⁣
𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐑𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐫-⁣
1. Hands on floor⁣
2. Add leg weights/weight to carriage⁣
⁣
In the gym you could do this using the seat of the rowing machine with hands on floor. The decline transfers more weight to shoulders. ⁣
⁣
If you want a good Pilates teaser, tendon stretch on reformer (etc etc) and a happy little life, you need to be training hip flexors!⁣
