We LOVE this one - full body strength right down to your hands & feet ♥️…the Controls Front on the Reformer requires core strength, movement confidence, equipment control & loads of endurance because the carriage stays mid-track & the resistance is always loaded..

If you’re working at an Intermediate or Bridging Level, ask your instructor if you’re ready for this great exercise! Try modifying with the forearms down or advancing with tricep pushups -

Adding equipment to your Pilates Mat classes can add challenge and variety! 💪

We’ve found that when we are selective with equipment choices, the end results are better client engagement and retention.

It may seem obvious, but there are a ton of reasons why you might choose to do the Side Twist Standing at the Cadillac vs Kneeling on the Reformer.

If you’re looking for:
✨Balance
✨Control
✨Hip stability & activation
Then the Reformer is a great option (especially because it can move into an entire series of Side Arm Work flow).

But if you want to work the full chain from the feet right up to the upper body, the Cadillac variation is the way to go 👍especially to target the lateral stability systems of the:
✨Hips
✨Lower Legs
✨Feet

Choosing between both comes down to your programming goals & client focus, but ultimately every Pilates workout should have some rotation built into it!!

We’re back at the wall getting in some everyday lower body (and full body!) movement sequences that can help promote your endurance, leg and core strength and balance. 💪

One movement that Pilates brings into your workout at varying degrees of ease & difficulty is lateral flexion 🌈…here are 3 different ways to get it into a workout from easy to hard on the Chair, Cadi & Barrels!

🎥 Video #1 - Chair Mermaid Kneeling:
Get that great eccentric lengthening thru the hip flexors into the ipsilateral obliques while working hip extensors, shoulder girdle & abs

📹 Video #2 - Cadillac Side Bends:
More oomph on the concentric contraction of the ipsilateral obliques while coordinating in the shoulder girdle/joint mobility & hip extensors.

📽️ Video #3 - Ladder Barrel Side Bends:
Endurance!!! Hip extensors, adductors, external rotators keep the position while the obliques work to control, stabilize & mobilize!

We do so much on the Reformer, but when it’s time to level up clients workouts, move it to the Pilates Stability Chair 💪

It’s one of the hardest pieces of equipment in the Pilates studio (if not the hardest) because the base of support is so small and the majority of exercises are in a vertical alignment; and if they’re in a horizontal position, the entire body needs to be active in order to stay balanced.

Here are 3 tips to building a great Pilates Chair workout! 🔥

This is one version of the Torso Press Sitting on the Stability Chair - look familiar? The Teaser just seems to show up everywhere in the Pilates studio 🤩

If you’re doing the Teaser on the Mat, Reformer, Cadillac or even one of the barrels, then you might be ready to give this a go!

And if you’re an instructor working this into your clients workouts, make sure your programming is focusing on:

✨Hip flexor & abdominal strength (to control the pelvis moving away from the legs),
✨Shoulder joint & girdle strength & flexibility (to assist in pressing the pedal down)
✨A strong connection into the breath (to facilitate the control)

But of course, the big question is WHY do this exercise? 🤔…well the list is long, but here are a few great reasons:
✨Balance & Control
✨Coordination & Mind-Body Connection
✨Spatial Awareness
✨Movement Confidence

All things your Pilates workouts should be regardless of the level you’re at!
