Reformer Jumpboard Cardio Guide for Instructors (PDF)

Seller's description

A jumpboard class lands on your timetable and the brief is one line. Cardio reformer, forty-five minutes, all levels, starts next week. You have jumped on the board yourself, but building a class, deciding what people do and for how long and on what spring, is a different job that nobody taught you. So you find a routine online, learn it, and teach it. It works once. By the third week the energy goes flat and you are searching for the next one to borrow.

This guide teaches you to build cardio on the reformer jumpboard instead of borrowing it. Every block you will ever run is one setting of five dials: Load, Pattern, Tempo, Interval, and Intent. Learn the five and you stop running out of material. You build a fresh, watchable cardio block for any room, any level, any week, in the two minutes you have before the class walks in.

Written for working and newly-qualified reformer instructors who want to program the jumpboard with confidence, not copy it.

PERFECT FOR
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• Instructors adding a cardio or jumpboard class to their timetable
• Newly-qualified teachers whose training was steady-state only
• Studios standardising a cardio reformer offering
• Anyone who has to program the jumpboard and wants a method, not a routine

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✓ Build a fresh cardio block for any room in minutes, instead of hunting for routines
✓ Read jump load off the body, not the spring colour, on any machine
✓ Choose the right interval shape for endurance, power, or recovery
✓ Coach clean, low-impact landings with confidence
✓ Progress a jumper safely across a whole term, one dial at a time
✓ A reusable method you keep, not a single class that goes stale by week three

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
HOW IT WORKS WITH YOUR MACHINE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Jump loads are written as relative throughout, light, medium, and heavy, never as a spring colour, because colours mean different resistances on different reformers. The Calibrate Your Jump tool maps those words onto your own machine once, and then the whole guide works for your studio.

DISCLAIMER
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
This is a professional teaching resource for qualified Pilates and movement instructors. It supports your own training and judgement and does not replace your certification, your studio's policies, or your reformer manufacturer's guidance. The jumpboard is low-impact by design, but it is loaded, cardiovascular work and it is not suitable for everyone. Screen your clients before they jump, and where a client is pregnant or postnatal, has a recent injury, a heart condition, raised blood pressure, or low bone density, route them to their own clinician for clearance first. Deciding who is medically fit to jump is outside the scope of this guide. Coach within your training and insurance, and when in doubt, refer.
