Thank you! 3 videos a week! And, more free ones on my website onlinepilatesclasses.com I've got a ton of cadillac how-to's coming out next! But if you have any requests please let me know xx
I know this is an old video and not sure if you get old comments and answer but my question is do you do a segment on how to set the bar and carriage up for each persons own height. I have osteoporosis in knees and have not used my reformer for a number of years and don’t want to set it up so that I creat more pain.
Hey Linda, I don't have a segment on that topic because I actually don't have any other height option for my bar. My bar is fairly low. I see a lot of bars that are too high. However, you could gear yourself out. What brand of Reformer are you working with? Also, have you done it on one spring and focused more on the seat connection. I think most people use their knees too much in Footwork.
I have a Balance Body Studio Reformer. I ordered it from California I believe about four years ago. I got lazy and my knees are really quite bad with osteoporosis and have not used it for a long time. I want to get back at it because I will need knee replacements at some point and I need to strengthen my legs before I do that. I did attempt to get back on it last year and really hurt one of them after the first go of it. I just want to know the correct distance the carriage should be at snd the level of the foot bar.
@@TheOnlyLila i hear ya...it honestly depends on the person. I wish there was an exact answer. Balanced Body also has several (dozens if not more) styles of reformers. So, I would def have the lower bar setting and feel free to "gear" out and that will give you more space and less knee flexion. I also would suggest maybe having someone observe you on it at least a couple times so that they can tell you what to focus on. It might not be the footbar at all. It could be how you are pressing.
