Hi, I'm Courtney with Club Pilates, welcome to the Studio! We're going to be doing an
awesome plank series today on the reformer. I've got a high bar position and a medium
tension on.
I'm going to begin with my feet against the shoulder blocks, press my hips back, and press
the carriage out. I'm doing 5 push-ups with my knees down to get in to the position. Stabilize
your shoulder blades down your back and draw your abdominals in and lift your knees up.
I'm going to repeat this forward and back movement but with my knees up, it's a lot
more of a challenge on my core. I'm going to do 5 of these.
Now on the next one, I'm going to keep the carriage in, bend my knees and press the carriage
back. This exercise is done a little bit more at a quicker tempo. It helps to get your heart
rate up. On this last one I'm going to hold, and then resist all the way down.
As you can see, it's a full body exercise. It's working my arms, my core, and giving
me that little bit of cardio in.
