The word Reformer refers to a specialized equipment with a sliding carriage, rigged, springs, bars, and straps used as a practicing tool. Reformer Pilates, as the name says, reforms your body!
What is Pilates Reformer?
It can make the exercise more intense and dynamic or help those with difficulty practicing on the mat by regulating the spring tension. This allows you to work at your own level and progress appropriately.
It gives you a traction and resistance to work with.
With the Reformer, you lie, kneel, stand, and sit to slowly build a balanced body and strong core. The core consists of the muscles of the abdomen, low back, and hips, which is also called the "powerhouse" and is believed to be the essence of a person's stability.
With the resistance created by the Reformer in regular practice, you will get faster results from your workouts and your body will be more elongated making you slightly taller, slimmer and sleeker.
