Workout Routine for All Levels

Here’s a simple yet effective routine that can be performed using the Premium Pilates Board Reformer, perfectly suited for both novices and seasoned practitioners.

Warm-Up: The Hundred

Start your session by lying flat on your back on the board. Engage your core and lift your legs into a tabletop position. With your arms by your sides, begin pumping them up and down, inhaling for five counts and exhaling for five counts. Complete 10 sets.

Leg Circles

Next, secure your feet in the personalized foot straps on the board and extend one leg towards the ceiling. Move your leg in small circles, controlling the motion with your core. Switch sides after 5 to 10 circles.

Spine Stretch Forward

Sit up with your legs stretched out in front. Inhale as you lengthen your spine, and exhale to lean forward from the hips, extending towards your toes. This exercise promotes flexibility and posture alignment.

The Pilates Plank

Align your hands on the durable, non-slip handles of the pilates board. Step back into a plank position ensuring your body is in a straight line from head to heels. Hold for 30 seconds to one minute, engaging your core throughout.

Cool Down with Cat-Cow Poses

Transition to an all-fours position on the board. On your inhale, arch your back and lift your head (cow); on your exhale, round your spine and tuck your chin (cat). Repeat for 5 breaths.
