Reformer Pilates: machine and exercises
Would you like to learn more about the Reformer Pilates machine? First of all, this machine was created by Joseph Pilates, the man who invented Pilates in the early 20th century. Therefore, this apparatus is designed as a bed-like frame featuring a foot bar, carriage, pulleys, and five springs with adjustable tension levels, which can be adjusted according to your Pilates level or specific requirements.
What kind of exercises do we do on a Reformer Pilates machine? For example, some common exercises include leg presses, arm exercises, chest presses, lunges, and core-strengthening movements. The Reformer's versatile design allows for both seated and lying down exercises, providing resistance through the use of springs and body weight. Therefore, these exercises focus on controlled movements and proper alignment, enhancing core stability and promoting overall body awareness.
