The carriage is moved by pushing against the foot bar, or pulling the straps or ropes at the other end of the reformer. Many of the Pilates Reformer exercises are done lying down on the carriage with the head on the adjustable headrest and the feet on the adjustable foot bar. Different tensions of springs can be used to increase or decrease the resistance. The springs in the Reformer provide the resistance from the machine, and the rest of the resistance is provided by your own body weight. The Pilates Reformer is an elegant machine which provides finely tuned Pilates exercises but under resistance allowing you to work more deeply increasing core strength and improving flexibility.
