Total Body Build & Lift Compound Reformer Workout

Instructor: Kristine Chaussard
Level: Advanced, All Levels, Beginner, Intermediate

FOCUS :   

Today you’ll use the Reformer to train your lower body while using weights to train your upper body simultaneously. (You’ll hit your core at the end along with a few stretches, so don’t leave early!)

This is compound exercise, bringing two or more movements together. Great functional training for being better adapted for all your daily tasks as well as other active pursuits. If you are looking to build and/or maintain strong bones, increase fat loss whilst building lean muscle mass, improve metabolism and energy production, and shape and tone overall this is a great workout to do! You’ll also gain in your coordination and balance.

A great class to take if you are interested in starting up, or are already, lifting weights. This type of exercises has a lot of science behind it showing the benefits to everyone, especially once over age 40. Maintaining lean muscle mass becomes more and more important, as well as it does maintaining dense and strong bones. This will also help burn fat and is an excellent form of exercise in tandem with our Pilates Reformer work.

Remember to come back and repeat regularly to track your progress! 👊
