Are you looking to achieve core stability and good posture? Or increase your flexibility while building strength? In this program led by an expert Crosby Wellness Center instructor, you’ll learn the ins-and-outs of the Pilates reformer, a training machine that creates resistance to work every muscle in your body.
Recent research has shown that regular reformer exercises offer greater shoulder and lower back strength, plus a decreased chance of falling in people over 65. The reformer is also versatile enough for a full-body workout in less than an hour, while helping you to build the stretch, stamina and stability of a healthy, strong body.
Crosby Wellness Center’s Pilates expert will also discuss additional benefits of adding the Pilates reformer into your regular workout routine and will answer any questions you have about its use and impact.
This program is presented by the Crosby Wellness Center’s Pilates expert and hosted by the Winter Park Health Foundation in partnership with the Crosby Wellness Center at the Center for Health & Wellbeing.
