Full Body Pilates with Stretchy Band ~ "Reformer on the Mat" ~ A Pilates Sculpt and Tone Workout

This “reformer on the mat” full body pilates workout incorporates mat exercises that are similar to the movements we perform on the pilates reformer machine. We’ll be using a stretchy band, which assists in mimicking the exercises where feet or hands are in the reformer straps or on the footbar. This additional resistance will give you a deeper connection to your powerhouse!
Adding a stretchy band to a pilates workout is a wonderful way to add variety to your routines while also building additional strength in your whole body! This routine is great for both beginner and intermediate levels, and modifications are included.
This full body pilates workout is part of a Pilates Sculpt and Tone 30-Day series, but you do not need to do the series to complete this workout. It’s wonderful as a standalone pilates full body routine as well.

Your band workouts are my favorite!

[@juliatheunicorn7246]

thank you!!!

[@warrentodosichuk6870]

The bands sure give great resistance. Very enjoyable addition to the session. I will be adding this video to my regular rotation. Now I am curious about reformer workouts as well. Thank you again!

[@kellypantaleoni5166]

I really loved the added effect from the band with the mat work! I think I am going to add it from now on😉 Thank you💙

[@MVMTwithCailin]

I am so glad you've found love for the band! It is one of my favorite prop additions :) Enjoy adding it to more of the workouts!

[@aimeemarchetti2962]

Thanks!

[@MVMTwithCailin]

Thank you so much for this very generous donation!! I appreciate it more than you know!

[@didsankaaa]

I’m on vacation and managed to take only my elastic band. Won’t be able to go on a reformer trainings and this training will help me to stay in shape! Thank you!

[@SusanneWeissenberger]

Absolute fantastic workout. Love, love, love it! How about a 10 or 14 day session just for and with the band?

[@MVMTwithCailin]

Awesome, Susanne! And thank you! What a great suggestion for a band series :) It's definitely something I will consider!

[@miamor1220]

That was another wonderful workout! I really enjoyed it. Thank you and looking forward to more videos:)

[@kerrijenkins2662]

Love this workout…one of my top three favorites!

[@MVMTwithCailin]

Yay! I love hearing that! Thank you :)

[@donnacurrey8947]

Thanks Cailin, that was great!

[@sandrasackstein9990]

Hi Cailin Loved,loved,loved this one! The band really helped me be more precise and specific with the exercises.I especially felt it with the leg circles. Thank you so much.

[@MVMTwithCailin]

Hi Sandra! I love hearing this :) The band is such an amazing prop, and I'm so happy you felt those benefits!

[@claudiahuth8912]

Great as allways please do more sessions with ring and band . It’s so much better to wok against and with resistens even more so when you have had sever injuries like me it helps to guide and contrôle . I love it 😻 helps me a lot thank you

[@MVMTwithCailin]

Hi Claudia :) The ring and band are wonderful for those exact reasons you mentioned... opposition to work against, extra resistance, and better control! I love adding props to the routines, and I'll continue to do more videos with them. Thank you!

[@lisvetortiz6601]

Almost done with the 30 day challenge and this one is my favorite so far🙌

[@MVMTwithCailin]

Amazing job on almost completing the series! I'm so happy you liked this one :) I love the addition of the stretchy band!

[@acarolgvc]

Thank you, great class! Your videos are very helpful, thank you for that! Greetings from Brazil :)

[@MVMTwithCailin]

Yay!! So wonderful to hear you are enjoying the workouts! Thanks so much for your kind comment and for saying Hello!

[@sofiyaostrovska8382]

Excellent workout! Thank you!

[@MVMTwithCailin]

You're welcome, Sofiya! So happy to hear that!

[@lisemac6763]

Awesome as always!

[@MVMTwithCailin]

Awww, thank you!

[@kellseewellsee4910]

Thank you!

[@MVMTwithCailin]

You're welcome, Kelly!

[@dianeberresford1764]

I haven’t used a band for Pilates before so had to borrow one. But wow I really did enjoy the extra resistance it gives so I will be buying my own. I love the sound of the Reformer but I don’t imagine I will find a facility with this equipment in or around the small North of England town where I live so it will have to be more band work for me! Thank you Cailin.

[@MVMTwithCailin]

This is amazing! I'm so happy you enjoy working with the band :) And there are so many possibilities to use it in pilates as well as other workouts, so I think you'll really benefit from getting one of your own. Mat work is amazing, especially when you can use additional props, and it is plenty amazing on it's own with no access to other equipment! Keep it up, Diane! So happy to have you here :)

[@heike1570]

Really good thank you

[@MVMTwithCailin]

You're very welcome!

[@adelaidemichaels]

💜💜💜💜 excellent

[@MVMTwithCailin]

Thank you, Adelaide 🙏❤️

[@pinkrockstar18]

Had a harder time with some of these moves; didn't have a band so I think I psyched myself out. I used 1.5 lb wrist/ankle weights [2]. Still feel a good 🔥. ♡

[@MVMTwithCailin]

I love that you modified with what you had! We all have our good and not so good days, but what's important is that you moved your body and did what worked for you on that day.... you're awesome, Brenda!

[@meerkatjones485]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@MVMTwithCailin]

Thank you! :)

[@amymagel3580]

I ordered a body band, which came in a roll. Is there a standard measurement for a long band? I will need to cut the band at the length needed. Thank you! I love your workouts, especially the resistance band workouts.

[@MVMTwithCailin]

I too love the resistance bands! I like mine to be no less than 6 feet long. That's longer than the ones that come pre-cut (which are closer to 4 feet I think), but I find that the extra length works well for many of the exercises. I hope that helps!

[@tribetransformers2297]

that was a great workout thank you :) i do recommend you talk a bit less its distracting and hard to go deeper

[@MVMTwithCailin]

I understand your feedback - I give a lot of cues during my teaching to ensure people understand if they are in the correct positioning, but I know that's not for everyone!

[@tmoralesdavis]

Thanks!
