Pilates Reformer Exercise: The Teaser | Pilates Anytime

Muscle Focus: Abdominals.
Objective: Strengthening the abdominals while challenging stability on a moving carriage.
Reformer Setup: Start with one to two medium tension springs. Tension can be made heavier or lighter depending on the resistance desired. A lighter spring will challenge the abdominals more. Place the longbox onto the carriage with the short end of the box against the shoulder rests. The footbar is down.
Start Position: Lie supine on the box, with the shoulders blades just off the back edge of the box, knees bent with legs in tabletop (90 degree) position, head and shoulders off the box in extension, and handles in both hands. Arms will reach overhead towards the well of the carriage. Straighten both legs to a 45 degree angle.
Movement: Keeping the legs glued together and in this position, inhale as you circle your arms to your side, draw the chin to the chest, draw the abdominals to the spine, and roll through your spine in flexion, reaching your arms forward until they are shoulder height, bringing your body into a "V" like position. Eyes are gazing just above the toes. Keeping the legs where they are, exhale as you simultaneously lower your arms and roll down through your spine one vertebrae at a time, with deliberate control, returning to start position with the arms overhead. Repeat two more times.
