Six of the Best Reformer Pilates Benefits for Beginners 

#1: Connect with your core and improve your posture

Pilates can improve your posture by helping you to become more 'body aware' as you fire-up and connect with the muscles in your back, abdomen and pelvis — the deep stabilising 'core' muscles. The exercises will also strengthen the glutes, hips and hamstrings — all of which play an important role in maintaining good posture by keeping the body upright when we walk or run (or sit!).

When these core muscles are weak or don't work together properly there is an 'imbalance'. This imbalance can create problems with posture or movement patterns, especially if you're slouching over a computer all day! Poor posture can lead to other issues such as muscular pain, excessive wear on the joints and poor circulation to name a couple!

#2: Increase flexibility and balance in your body

Reformer Pilates can improve flexibility in all areas of the body, including the low back, hips and shoulders. One of the most common benefits of reformer pilates is increased flexibility in your hamstrings and quadriceps (the muscles on either side of your thigh). If you're looking for ways to increase flexibility in your calves and ankles as well, then reformer pilates may have many benefits for you!

Pilates is also great at improving posture by strengthening core muscles that support good alignment from head to toe. This helps keep you balanced during everyday movements like sitting down or getting up from a chair without straining yourself unnecessarily when doing so — and it's especially important if you have any injuries where mobility has been limited due to pain or discomfort since this could make it difficult for someone who isn't used to being active again after recovering from an injury such as surgery involving their spine.

#3: Reduce stress and increase circulation

A benefit of improving posture, balance, flexibility, strength and circulation is that your body (and mind) will improve how you handle stress. Reformer Pilates is very focused on getting you breathing 'right' which has a calming effect on the body. Reformer pilates can also help to reduce the symptoms of high blood pressure or anxiety!

#4: Boost your energy levels

At first glance reformer Pilates may not look like a high-intensity exercise like running or weight lifting. You may be wondering how it can help you feel more energized. The answer lies in the fact that it strengthens your core muscles and improves posture, which have both been shown to improve circulation throughout the body. This results in better blood flow, which means more oxygenated blood flowing through your system — and more energy!

Reformer Pilates is one of the most effective ways to get a good workout, and it can also help improve your posture, increase flexibility, reduce stress and boost energy levels. It's easy to see why so many people choose to take up reformer Pilates!

At the same time, stress has been shown to drain energy from people who experience it regularly. Reformer pilates can help to reduce stress and give you back some of those precious energy reserves you've been losing over time due to outside pressures such as work or family commitments.

#5: A low impact way to build strength

Pilates is a strength-building exercise that can help you build muscle mass and lose weight over time. For those who are new to exercise or are recovering from an injury or surgery, pilates offers low-impact workouts that won't aggravate existing conditions while still giving them results they want.

#6: Feel — and look — younger!

As you do more reformer Pilates your body will get leaner. It can also help to slow down some of the signs of ageing by stretching the skin, which makes it appear firmer and more elastic. Many people also find that the improved breathing, reduced stress and the physical exertion that comes with reformer pilates is that they sleep better, giving their body greater opportunity to recharge and rebuild overnight!
