Reformer Pilates Cues, Instructor Cue Cards by Teaching Intent, 239 Drawn Printable Cards, PDF

Seller's description

Mid-class, the exercise is already on the machine. What you need is a different kind of cue for what you can see: a client arching off the carriage, a carriage slamming home, a room that needs moving to the next exercise without a gap. These 239 reformer cue cards are sorted by what the cue has to do, and every card is drawn, with the exercise and the load it sits on printed under the cue.

Reformer Pilates Cue Cards is a printable deck for reformer instructors. Each card is one cue for one exercise. The cue is the big line. Under it sit the exercise name, its load (light, medium or heavy) and what the spring is doing there, so the cue and the machine agree. The drawing shows the exercise, and the use-when line at the foot names what you see in the client that calls for the card. Print the sheets, cut on the lines, and keep this week's cards clipped to the frame.
