Pilates is the perfect workout to train your body’s “powerhouse” muscles – those in your abdomen, lower back, hips and buttocks. A resistance exercise, Pilates strengthens and tones this core zone, giving it a more sculpted look while improving your posture and flexibility. Mat Pilates uses your body weight to create resistance, but in reformer Pilates, you rely on a reformer machine, which uses a system of pulleys and springs for resistance.
LEARN THE BASICS
Focus Pilates offers three fundamental reformer pilates classes to introduce you to reformer Pilates. These classes are designed to develop your body’s core, improve coordination and postural alignment, impart proper breathing techniques and build flexibility and strength. You will also learn how to use the reformer machine correctly so that you get the most out of it. You’ll find that this machine is less intimidating than it looks – exercises are usually done sitting, lying down, kneeling or standing on the innovatively designed gliding carriage.
