Two great options for your next chest/upper body day on the reformer.

The first is a kneel - rise chest press. This is great for the chest with the added difficulty from balance and benefit of glute/core activation.

The second is also a kneel - rise exercise but features Peter-pan pressing. This turns the exercise largely 1 sided with 80-90% of the effort in the pressing arm. The added coordination challenge makes this one great later in the session.

Give them a try and see how you get on!

Coupled movement for whole body results…

1 - This exercise was borrowed from a recent class. Coupling the bicep curl, shoulder press, and lunge requires coordination, balance, and strength. Though challenging, this ladder set is a great way to challenge the body and mind.

2 - Inspired by the above, coupling a lunge with a tricep extension is a good way to challenge both strength, balance, and shoulder stability. Keeping the arm in the overhead position whilst weighted and lunging is difficult for both trunk stability and thoracic extension.

Give them a try and see how you get on!

4 variations of the seated row ( #4 is the best!)

1 - Narrow grip (bar): a stable grip that feels strong through the whole range. Squeezing the shoulder blades together achieves a great contraction and can help build strength and density to the middle back

2 - Wide Grip, Underhand (bar): this really lends itself to great lat activation. By pulling the bar low and driving the elbows to the sides you can really feel the muscle nicely.

3 - Neutral grip (handles): Slightly better with roll handles, this separates the arms meaning you can’t rely on your dominant side. Adding a little twist of the hand (pronation/supination) allows you to maximise muscular contraction by moving through the entire range.

4 - VGrip (handles): this is my favourite as it allows the most control and squeeze, allowing you to pull heavier! Who doesn’t like to move more weight!

Give them a go and see how you like them! For more great tips — give us a follow 🤙

3 plank/press variations

These are different options to challenge core stability and upper body strength!

The core is a dynamic structure comprised of many muscles running in different directions. As a result you need to challenge the core in different ways in order to appropriately develop.

The biggest problem many students have is not “strength” it is activation and coordination of their core musculature when doing normal movements. This, in turn, is often the cause of many of the issues people experience such as pain, immobility, or weakness.

With the reformer we can challenge these structures, building your intrinsic strength through appropriate activation of the core.

Who is ready for today’s classes?

Playing around with a lateral raise variation using the leg to spot/assist in the movement.

The reformer is such a versatile machine, allowing a variety of set ups and alterations — to suit your needs.

This set up is designed to build strength and sculpt the shoulder muscles whilst allowing progressive overload of the muscle group.

Give it a try!

4 variations on a theme of the Grasshopper exercise.

The realities are this exercise is great for your whole body, targeting:

Shoulders
Trunk and lower back stability
Core control
Gluteal activation

The third variation is challenging with the single arm as it brings in an element of core rotation and balance.

Give them a try and let us know how you get on!
