Everyone is doing reformer Pilates and if you’ve been to a class, you’ll know why. Not only can it make muscles ache that you didn’t even know existed, but it comes with a wealth of benefits for the body, and mind. If you can’t get booked onto a class at your local studio, then this home workout from fitness trainer, Lily Sabi, is perfect. It replicates the former using two small towels and a slippery surface, and you only need 10 minutes to do it.
Although this workout has a fairly different set-up to a usual reformer class, the benefits will be similar. It will challenge your strength and balance thanks to its slow, controlled movements that help isolate your muscles, placing them under constant tension. However, it also targets those smaller, stabilising muscles. These can often get overlooked in other types of training, but are important for reducing our risk of injury, improving our posture and carrying out daily activities.
