What do people love the most about the Reformer? It's a smooth glide of course! Let's recreate that. PS. This is a level three because it has the Roll Over in it, which I actually modify. If you are used to Level 2, I encourage you to give this one a whirl.

Hey! Time for my favourite game: Freestyling variations on the spot with Joe's iconic exercises. This is something I love to do. As a student (and my short-lived career as a Teacher Trainer), I was required to know the Classical Pilates "order" off by heart. It is now part of my DNA.

However, a...

In this workout, we challenge our brains and bodies by taking Joe Pilates' original order and doing it in reverse!

Please note there are three Roll-Overs in this workout that can easily be skipped or modified if you do not wish to have your legs over your head today.
