You are so graceful getting on and off the reformer. I’m grateful you carefully explain the placement of your hands and feet. It is helpful switching sides stepping on the reformer. I notice I am right legged as well as right handed. My goal is to practice making my weaker side stronger so my muscles are more balanced to protect myself from injury.

Hi Rex - thanks for watching - and you are so right - the control you use to get on (and off) the Reformer will set you up for success. The Reformer also helps you notice that getting on from each side can be a very different experience. I like to use getting on the Reformer from the left side as getting in and out of the car - LOL And yes balanced muscle engagement helps to prevent injury - couldn't have said it better myself. Thanks for sharing your thoughts here with us and keep up the good work! xox

I enjoy very much the statement “play that game” I invite clients to come play pilates with me✨

[@PilatesAndrea]

Silvano! Thank you so much for watching my videos and for saying hello here. I could play this Pilates game all day long LOL Fun games to play with your powerhouse - can I do the same thing over here in this exercise? Lets see! Thanks for your support and keep up the good work! xox

Hi Andrea! Love your valuable tutelage as always!! I notice you have no foot bar padding as well..? Do you have a video link where you discuss this preference? Thanks!

[@PilatesAndrea]

Hi Kate - thank you so much for watching and for your kind words. Your suggestion to make a video about why the unpadded footbar is my preference is such a good one!! Especially for this series on the Long Stretch that I am currently obsessed with LOL - thanks for your help and stay tuned for the Unpadded Footbar video very soon! xox

I can’t wait!
