What is Cardio jumping on the reformer?
Another great question! Jumping on the reformer is done in a supine (lying down) position on the reformer, with feet on an attached footplate. Springs are set to either the lightest setting (more core) or a heavier setting (more extremity). As you start to “jump off” the footplate, you glide back and forth, creating a jumping movement. Your heart rate comes up anaerobically. Depending on your strength and stamina, you are dropped to the lightest setting of springs. If your fitness level allows, the work becomes aerobic the more the work can be sustained. A good 15 to 20 minutes with continual switching of leg and foot position will keep you in the training zone, burning those fat calories. Wearing a heartrate monitor will varify your heartrate. Then we bring you down slowly. Absolutely invigorating, mind-body, and intense!
