This is helpful and I just ordered red and yellow cords for my. 11/12 YO 4 cord machine. Think I can incorporate these into my 30-40 minute routine to get better workout.
Where did you find red and yellow cords? I've literally been trying to buy them from the aeropilates website for over 2yrs and they are always out of stock!
@@lindabaker1686 Checked the red one and its now unavailable and not sure when it will be---I do like them, refreshed my machine (plus tightening up the other cords).
The yellow cords go in and out of stock on Amazon, but are in right now. Here's the link...amzn.to/3OhQyFA. #ad I hope you are loving your AeroPilates! :)
Hello - I want to thank you so much for your videos. They have been very helpful an motivating. So I have had my 4 cord Pilates machine for a bit, and I am trying to get back to doing a workout routine. The machine has 2 black cords, 1 yellow cord, and a red cord. I have back issues and I am trying to lose weight. Right now I am using 2 black cords and a yellow cord. Is that not a good idea to lose weight? I watched this video, and I am a bit confused oh how it all works. I did try your rebounder workout, but it caused me too much pain with my neck and back. I am working on finding a neck pillow for my reformer and a stand. I have been sticking to your beginner workout 1 routine and have increased the quantity of reps. Is there any videos I can check out to workout my abs, arms, strengthen my back? I appreciate any advice you can give me. Thanks :)
Thank you, so much for watching and taking the time to comment. I am so excited that you are beginning your AeroPilates journey! Any exercise on this machine will help you lose weight, so choose the cords that you feel most comfortable with and keep moving. When you are more comfortable with the machine, try adding or taking away a cord, just to shake it up a bit. There is no rush to experiment with changing cords. I used 2 black cords for 8 months or so before trying anything different, but you should use the cords that you like best first. There is no right or wrong way to use the cords. When you are ready and begin adding a cord or taking one away, you can go back to your favorite cords during workouts, in between, and only switch it up for one or two workouts per week or every other week. This adds "muscle confusion" which is beneficial. But, as always, the best cord combination is what you feel most comfortable with during the workouts. You will tone your body and lose weight no matter which cords you use, so there is no wrong way to do it. When you are rebounding, a tip for your back would be to have your hands under your hips OR fold a towel under your lower back to help support it. For your neck, a rolled towel, a small throw pillow, and even a stuffed animal can be used until you get a head and neck pillow. Every workout on this machine will work your arms, your abs, and your strengthen your back...just be doing a regular workout routine...because you have to stabilize (unknowingly) your body to use the AeroPilates. Everything will strengthen. I have some targeted exercises on this channel that I will link below...but remember, every reformer workout you find on my channel, or on other youtube channels will work your arms, abs, and back because that is how the machine was designed. It's really wonderful. Thanks again for taking the time to comment. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Enjoy your AeroPilates! :) *For Your Back Strength & Stretch...ruclips.net/video/opiuvK3nEhA/видео.html *Arm Workout that uses a pole or broomstick, but can be done just moving your arms with no pole...ruclips.net/video/P2J8MoBD0tw/видео.html *For Abs, the rebounding workouts are best...here is a beginner one that should help you build your strength...take breaks as needed for your back and neck and try using a folded towel under your hips/lower back and a rolled towel under your neck...ruclips.net/video/tSHpIIhwks8/видео.html
Hi!! I am brand new to this but am so excited to have found your videos! I just received my reformer today (the Premier 701) & with your videos I was able to assemble it myself! A million thanks for that! Mine came with 4 black cords, but I already have red & yellow cords ordered. I know already that once I get familiar with what I am doing I want the variety that the cords will allow me. My question is, is there a specific order the colors need to be arranged, for instance if I was doing 2 black, 1 red, 1 yellow? Thank you so very much for your help & for this channel!
Yea!! I am so excited for you! Congratulations on a really great model! Yes, I think the color cords make the exercising a little more fun because of how they mix up the resistance. I am glad you ordered them. You can put them on anyway, but, AeroPilates usually places them with the 2 black, cords on the outside (so you would replace the middle cords only). Then, the red cord usually goes on the right middle and the yellow on the left middle. You really can do them however you like though. Thank you so much for commenting! I am so glad the videos have been helpful.
@@everythingaeropilates Thank you so very much! I got my red cords today but I am going to wait until the yellow comes in & change them together. I appreciate you telling me the order & I will do it like you described! Thank you so much for all of your help! It has been wonderful & I am literally only getting started! I can’t wait to get familiar with the reformer & get used to doing some workouts! :)
@@countrygalreads Yes!! And I am so excited for you! It is a fun way to workout, but it also helps me move better, and was the only thing that started to help me finally lose weight. I hope you feel as good, and even better, than I do after using mine! So happy for you!!
Just found your channel. Thanks for such clear instructions. I've been using my sister-in-law's aeropilates machine but would like to purchase one for my husband and me to use. He's 6' 1" and I'm 5' 4''. I'm not sure what machine would work for both of us. Would you have any suggestions? Thank you.
Hello there! It is so great to hear from you! Thank you for taking the time to comment. :) I love that you are sharing a machine with your sister-in-law right now. That is the perfect way to try it out before you buy, and I truly believe you will love having one in your own home. These machines can be quite the investment for sure, but I believe they are worth it because the benefit of having one largely outweighs the cost. With that being said, if it is in your budget, I would highly recommend the 5 cord (I'll post links of the choices below) OR the larger 4 cord premier models. Between these two styles, you can pretty much go with whatever your favorite color (available) is. For a bit, I had a smaller model and I did have my husband use it once. He is almost 6'. He was able to use it properly, but he felt a little squished on it. The models I mentioned above have 2 more inches on the carriage for your torso, so they will work really well for your husband. Also, because you are taller than 5' 2", your height will work well with those models without any modification. It is for gals 5' 2" and under that I recommend the smaller models to. I am so excited for you to have an AeroPilates of your own!! Congratulations!! Below are the links to consider.

Hey there, I have an older three black cord model and want to add a red cord. Would it be better to add it in the middle or to the side? Or does this even matter? Thank you.
I apologize for the late response, overall, where you put the new cords doesn't truly matter, but I would prefer the red cord in the middle. But, in the end, it does not matter because the machine is stable no matter what or where the cords are. I hope you are using and loving your AeroPilates! :)

Hello, I just saw this channel as I was searching for information on details regarding the meaning of "interchangeable" cords; and, what it means to have a 3 cords reformer (I think its a 266 model) versus a 4 or 5. More specifically, is it worth it to even purchase a 3 cord reformer to make it worth my while. I have researched a little and I lean toward the 4-cord reformer, but I am interested now because I found a 3 cord reformer with a stander. I would love to work on a reformer with a stander. The 4 & 5 cord reformers would require me to buy a stander - adding an additional $150 bucks. You may have a video discussing the difference between these 3 different types of cord-reformers and I haven't seen it. I will keep looking, but would appreciate any assistance prior to my equipment purchase. (you/your videos are great - I look forward to continued watching:)
Hello! I will link 2 videos below that explain the differences between the machines. The 3 cord is great, but if you can do a 4 cord, you will never feel the need to upgrade. Many gals use a 3 cord and never want for anything, but some gals do feel the need to upgrade later for a few reasons. If you watch the 2nd video, it goes over some of the things to consider about a 3 cord. The first video talks a bit about the differences between the options. I wanted to let you know that there are usually local sales of the AeroPilates and you can get some amazing deals that way. You can check CL or FB marketplace to see who has one for sale in your area. What's good about that is that you can look the machine over before getting it home. Please let me know if you have any other questions after the videos and I will be more than happy to answer. Thank you for the comment, I really appreciate it. Have a great weekend! :) ruclips.net/video/fmONEUhMw9A/видео.html&ab_channel=EverythingAeroPilates Start this video at 5 minutes and 20 seconds to see some complaints about a 3 cord model. ruclips.net/video/XOU_kg3yehk/видео.html&ab_channel=EverythingAeroPilates
@@everythingaeropilates, thank you so much for your response! The videos are wonderful. I appreciate it so much, especially considering I am preparing to make my purchase this weekend. I can't wait any longer. I have completed my Pilates physical therapy (due to an automobile accident) and it is evident with my back and hips that my body misses it just as much as it needs it! Its been close to 2 months and I am suffering for it. Mat work is fantastic, but the machine is the key in this particular situation. Again, thank you so much for your time and your help...have a wonderful weekend and a great holiday!
@@michelleblandburg674 I am really excited for you to get one for your home! You will not regret it. You are so right, the machine is different from the mat (as you mention, both are wonderful). Joe Pilates called it the "reformer" because it literally reforms and balances your body. And yes, your body will thank you! Congratulations! :)
I have a 4 cord machine. Even with all four cords on sometimes I get stuck out. I have about 100lbs to lose and I find this very discouraging. I haven't been able to order yellow or red cords because stamina seems to constantly out of stock. Any ideas????
Yes! You do have options. My first choice would be to tighten your existing black cords. You do this with the machine folded up and with a 2nd person is easiest. If you don't have help, you can use locking pliers or an extremely strong cilp (just be careful). I have a video "how-to" here. ruclips.net/video/Fyxq4hEoaaU/видео.html If that doesn't work well enough, eBay will usually have used cords for sale that are in good to like-new condition. Please let me know if that works for you. If not, message me and I can work on another solution. I am so happy for you, that you are starting your AeroPilates journey. You will love it!
I should be able to make a video on this soon. I don't have the springs, but I am trying to research the differences. Do you have a spring pilates reformer? I should be able to put some information together. :)

Start this video at 5 minutes and 20 seconds to see some complaints about a 3 cord model.

@@everythingaeropilates, thank you so much for your response! The videos are wonderful. I appreciate it so much, especially considering I am preparing to make my purchase this weekend. I can't wait any longer. I have completed my Pilates physical therapy (due to an automobile accident) and it is evident with my back and hips that my body misses it just as much as it needs it! Its been close to 2 months and I am suffering for it. Mat work is fantastic, but the machine is the key in this particular situation. Again, thank you so much for your time and your help...have a wonderful weekend and a great holiday!

I am really excited for you to get one for your home! You will not regret it.
You are so right, the machine is different from the mat (as you mention, both are wonderful). Joe Pilates called it the "reformer" because it literally reforms and balances your body. And yes, your body will thank you! Congratulations! :)

I have a 4 cord machine. Even with all four cords on sometimes I get stuck out. I have about 100lbs to lose and I find this very discouraging. I haven't been able to order yellow or red cords because stamina seems to constantly out of stock. Any ideas????
Yes! You do have options. My first choice would be to tighten your existing black cords. You do this with the machine folded up and with a 2nd person is easiest. If you don't have help, you can use locking pliers or an extremely strong cilp (just be careful). I have a video "how-to" here.

If that doesn't work well enough, eBay will usually have used cords for sale that are in good to like-new condition.
Please let me know if that works for you. If not, message me and I can work on another solution.
I am so happy for you, that you are starting your AeroPilates journey. You will love it!
Can you do a video on cords versus springs at aeropilates? :)
I should be able to make a video on this soon. I don't have the springs, but I am trying to research the differences. Do you have a spring pilates reformer? I should be able to put some information together. :)
