What is the difference between Pilates done on the Mat and Pilates done on the Reformer?
Matwork focuses largely on the core, and is very convenient in the sense that it can be done anywhere. With proper “cueing” one should feel that they are working the body as a whole. Certain props such as the stability ball, flex band, fitness circle and many others can add a greater challenge, or ease a newcomer into the exercises depending on how they are used. Exercises performed on the Reformer continually work the core, while providing resistance for the extremities.
