Reformer Pilates Setup Reference Guide, 51 Exercises, Instructor Cheat Sheet (PDF)

Seller's description

You know the repertoire. The part that slows you down is the machine. Footbar up or down. Headrest up or flat. Box long or short. Which loop, and a load that anchors the body or supports it. You set the reformer forty times a class, and the exercise you teach once a month is the one that makes you stop and think while the room waits.

This is the reference that answers it in seconds. Fifty-one exercises across the whole reformer repertoire, each with the six settings that get the machine right the first time, plus the one set-up mistake that quietly costs people that exercise. It is the fourth tool in the Brick By Brick instructor reference set, the one that sets the machine.

✓ Two ways in: plan down the pages by block, or confirm one exercise in seconds at the back
✓ Pairs with the Cueing Library, the Modifications and Options Library, and the Faults and Corrections Reference

DISCLAIMER
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
This is a professional teaching tool for qualified Pilates instructors. It describes how to set up the reformer for exercises taught to healthy clients at general fitness levels. It is about apparatus set-up, not assessment, diagnosis, treatment, or how to perform the movements. Where a client has an injury, a medical condition, or is pregnant or postnatal, that is a matter for a suitably qualified professional. Work within your own scope of practice and certification. Reformer springs are not standardised. Colour does not equal a fixed resistance across machines, and footbar heights and bar angles vary, so every load reading here is relative and every machine-dependent setting says so. Always check your own reformer.
