Here’s a more detailed look at some common Reformer Pilates exercises:

Footwork: This exercise strengthens the ankles, feet, and leg muscles while warming up and improving body alignment. It’s a foundational exercise that many Reformer Pilates classes start with. 

Leg Circles: Leg circles target the lower body, particularly the hips, thighs, and glutes, while engaging the core and improving control. 

Short Box Series: These exercises, performed on the Reformer box, focus on core and oblique engagement, promoting a strong and stable midsection. 

Rowing: Rowing exercises engage the back and arms, working the core and building strength and endurance. 

Chest Expansion: This exercise opens the chest, improves breathing, strengthens the back and arms, and stretches the neck.
