Muscle Focus: Abdominals.
Objective: Strengthening the abdominals while challenging stability on a moving carriage.
Reformer Setup: Start with one to two medium tension springs. Tension can be made heavier or lighter depending on the resistance desired. Place the longbox onto the carriage with the short end of the box against the shoulder rests. The footbar is down.
Start Position: Lie supine on the box, with the shoulders blades just off the back edge of the box, knees bent in towards the chest, head and shoulders curled in flexion, and handles in both hands. Arms will bend, bringing the wrists just above eye level with palms facing out.
Movement: Inhale as you reach both arms and legs straight up to the ceiling, legs together, maintaining the curl of the head and shoulders. Exhale as you open your arms and legs carriage width apart and circle them forward while keeping them straight. Arms and legs will reach straight to the wall in front of you, with legs gluing together. Hold for a count. Bend both knees and elbows to return to start position. Repeat two to three more times.
