Focus : 

This full body weightlifting workout coupled with the resistance of the Reformer offers the best of both worlds for a muscle building, toning, sculpting and leaning workout. This will get you results to transform your body. Burn fat as muscle burns more calories. This will transform body mass index. And this will also improve your posture, form and function for all you do in daily and active pursuits. Increase power and strength.

A great class on its own, or right before a cardio workout, run, trampoline workout, or the like.

Equipment Needed : 

Reformer, the box, and at least 1 set of hand weights but preferably 2 sets. (1 heavy set and 1 lighter set). I’ll be using 3 lbs. and 10 lbs. just to give you an idea. If you only have a lighter set, do this entire workout with those or grab some water bottles. You can do this workout even without the weights, just know that the addition of the weights is at the center of this class.

The Course of this Class :

Today’s class is a fit fusion with functional gym weightlifting exercises woven in which means less classical Pilates flow from one exercise to the next. Be ready to start standing right off the bat. All exercises today will be compound exercises meaning utilizing the whole body’s system. We move mindfully, paying clear attention to positioning before and during each exercise. This ensures we get the most benefit and stay injury free. You’ll see exercises like single leg dead lifts, squats, and split lunges, along with curtsy lunges, and more. I’ll be sharing with you at the end of class what this work has helped me with personally and I hope you enjoy the workout!

If ever you experience ANY joint discomfort in this full body weightlifting workout, first put your weights aside, next if this persists, take a break, stretch out & simplify the exercise on the mat. Make sure to always listen to your body and know your limitations. I always recommend seeing regularly or as needed a chiropractor, massage therapist, osteopath, acupuncturist, or something of the like as this helps our body evacuate stress and toxins, stay in good alignment, prevents injuries and helps us heal and stay moving well.
