Posted on January 19, 2017

Alright, alright. We’re a couple of weeks into the New Year now and hopefully still feeling pretty good about our fitness resolutions. With a bit of #fitspo and a growing list of new ways to get into shape – we’ve found one particular method that you might have overlooked in the past. We’re talking reformer Pilates!

Now, reformer Pilates ain’t no joke. We’ve tried and tested it to make sure. But we felt the need to reiterate this as a super awesome addition to your regime or even the perfect way to kickstart your goals this year.

We spoke to the experts at Studio Pilates to find out eight of the BEST reasons you should give it a go.

1. Increased Core Stability

2. Corrects imbalance in the body – By this we mean, it strengthens weak muscles and stretches tight muscles.

3. Tones the whole body – Say helloooo to long and lean muscles.

4. Prevents injuries – Reformer pilates can be used to exercise and stay in shape but it can also be used for rehabilitating injuries.

5. Safe for everyone to practice – This type of exercise is perfect for anyone at any level of fitness level! It’s not at all just for the fit and fabulous things we see in Hollywood.

6. Improves posture, flexibility and endurance – Bonus!

7. It’s a fun addition to mix up your existing fitness routine – You might find your results are plateauing in your normal routine after a while and this could be just the refresher that you need to add in! Make no mistake – it can be just challenging.

8. Helps to flatten stomach and waistline – Who could say no to this (especially after the festive season, right?!)
