Reformer Pilates is not only a tough workout, the health benefits from doing it are massive too! Working out in this way can help you achieve mind-body connection and a level of zen you’ve never experienced before.
Here are 8 reasons why we think you’ll love it!
Your core will be forever grateful
You can expect to not be standing in familiar territory when it comes to Reformer Pilates core work. Movements as simple as planks and leg lifts seem to target deep abdominal muscles like never before and can take your core workout to a whole new level. You will begin to see everyday movements feeling smoother and stronger as the main benefit of this. Core blimey!
Your balance will be put to the test
Who’d have thought that this type of exercise would be a mega balancing act? Sure, we all know Reformer Pilates works all the muscles, but did you know the sliding carriage adds an element of instability which can turn even the basics of movements into a test of coordination and concentration? Talk about strengthening your body in a new way!
You’ll feel taller at the end of every session
Yes, for real! Your spine will thank you for sharing the love through the form of stretching and strengthening during this full-body engagement, making you feel like you’ve added inches to your height as you leave the class standing taller.
You’ll become a master of small movements
Reformer Pilates will teach you that by controlling the smallest of movements in a powerful way, you will feel the burn like never before. And before you know it, those subtle adjustments will have you feeling your strongest, especially through time under tension.
Socks will become an obsession
Now, we’ve all heard the noise around being able to detect which generation category you fit in based on the way you wear your socks, right? Well, here’s a new one for you, prepare to enter into the world of grippy socks, which in our opinion will make you feel timeless! These little foot accessories will soon have you browsing the web for the cutest pairs with the best grips and feeling great as you work out on the reformer.
Your posture will get compliments
Reformer Pilates will soon have you carrying yourself in a different way. Emphasis on alignment and core during the workout will encourage you to not only stand taller, but sit up straighter too, this can be especially rewarding for those who may have slouchy posture whilst sitting at a desk. So be ready for some well deserved compliments!
You’ll look forward to the “Zen” feeling post workout
Fancy a mental reset? Through focused breathing and controlled movements, you will find yourself in a meditative state that leaves you feeling refreshed, calm and ready to take on whatever comes next.
You’ll start using Pilates lingo
We predict that terms such as “foot bar”, “natural spine” and “carriage” will soon become a part of your vocabulary. And whilst some friends and family members might need a translation app to keep up as you throw these new phrases around during conversation, it’s not going to stop you from naturally sounding like a seasoned pro!
