[:en] We have gathered some key points about Reformer Pilates, which we hope will help you expand your knowledge about Pilates on a reformer:
Resistance training: The reformer uses springs to create resistance, allowing you to strengthen your muscles in a controlled way. You can adjust the resistance to make exercises easier or more challenging, depending on your level.
Variety: The reformer allows for a wide range of exercises targeting different muscle groups. You can perform both strengthening and stretching exercises, making your workout versatile and engaging.
Core strength: Like traditional Pilates, Reformer Pilates focuses on strengthening the core, which is important for stability and balance throughout the body.
Gentle training: The reformer provides support during exercises, making it a gentle form of training suitable for beginners as well as those recovering from injuries.
Improved body awareness: The controlled movements and resistance offered by the reformer help enhance body awareness and technique, which can carry over to other forms of exercise and everyday movements.
Group or individual training: Reformer Pilates can be practiced in group classes or as individual sessions with an instructor, allowing for personalized guidance and exercise adjustments.
When you train in a class at Ohmyoga, you will still receive adjustments and guidance throughout the reformer session to ensure you perform the exercises correctly and get the most out of your workout. The advantage of group training is that you experience the shared positive energy and atmosphere, which provides extra motivation and boosts your mood. Group classes are also a perfect way to meet new members and build connections across different classes and workouts.
Reformer Pilates can be a fantastic way to challenge your body while enjoying an effective and fun workout experience.
