The mid back series utilizes arms in straps to bring about the desired movement. Great for shoulder, scapular and general arm strength. Holding legs in double table top adds and extra challenge to improve lumbo-pelvic stability and strength.

Single leg series progresses from 2 feet on the foot bar to one which not only challenges the difficulty level but also is great for those needing unilateral strength for sport or if strengthening after an injury or long-term condition.

This progression challenges stability around the pelvis to remain level and neutral. A great series to strengthen pelvic, hip and lower back muscles whilst challenging co-ordination.

Single leg series opens up the front of the hips - creating length across the hip flexors making it ideal for those that sit for prolonged periods throughout the day.

Reformer second series brings our feet wide into second position- hips externally rotated (feet out) to engage adductors (inner thigh) and glutes. A beginner level exercise which continues to challenge our stability around our centre and with appropriate springs on can build some great leg strength. Hips internally rotated is a fab way of helping to maintain and improve hip internal rotation. Second series shown on heels but can be performed on toes also😀🔥.

Over the next few weeks I'm going to give a brief insight into what we can do on the reformer and what area it works on.

Quite a few of my mat clients have been asking about the reformer and this is to give a sneak peek of what we can do on it.

A very sped up foot series.- alternating between heels and toes- parallel to first position.

When transitioning from mat to reformer this is a great place to start- getting used to a mobile carriage whilst maintaining - neutral spine.

Legs definitely on 🔥by the end of this leg series. Can be make harder or easier by changing the strength of the spring being used.😀

Double trouble class - done!!!

Banded at ankles/ knees and wrists created an extra challenge for the rotator cuff and glute muscles so double the fun.

It may look easy but never underestimate the challenge the addition of these bands make 💪🏼.
