As requested, here are some resistance band exercises that can mimic the work of the Reformer, to an extent. Use your familiarity with my cues (Neutral Spine! Pelvic Floor! Shoulder Blades!) and your imagination to help bring these to life. Have fun! (Hover over the photo for a cue.) A series like the opening leg presses, or footstraps too: More moves like footstraps: Here are some like single legs, from the bar or in footstraps, in parallel: And some single legs in external rotation (heels together, toes out): Tie the resistance bad to something over your shoulders and do some abs: Here we kneel, perhaps on an ottoman or a coffee table, holding a band in your hand: No props here, just good old heel raises! Remember the BoBT's (balls of the big toes) doing the work: Upper body time. Put the bands between toes and around your feet, it's good work for them too: Tie the bands to something behind you: And finally, stretching and shoulders: So, there's a bit of something to get you started. I've already thought of more I could do, but give me some ideas! What are your favorite series? And let me know if you tried these!
