Thank for the videos. I purchased from QVC and received DVDs with my reformer. When getting back into using my reformer, I realized that I no longer have a DVD player. I am grateful for your videos. Thank you.
This work out is truly amazing, although being new to the Cardio Rebounder I did struggle & had to keep stopping for a rest!! but I really enjoyed the lower body work out compared to the DVD that I have which seemed so rushed, this time I could really keep up with Marjolein & felt so proud to complete it all. Thank you Marjoein.
Thanks so much for your vids!! I just bought a used aeropilates reformer, so I'm excited to get started. I do mat and chair pilates and absolutely love pilates. Nothing gets my tummy flat like pilates!!
Loved this workout. Especially appreciative of the fact that you took the time to explain proper positioning and breathing throughout each exercise. Great attention to detail. Thank you Marjolein for another wonderful workout!
Thank you. I think I pulled it when using that machine where your knees sit on pads and you bring your feet to your chest, kind of like a Total Gym but a smaller more self-contained unit. It happened months ago and still have pain and limited motion. I bought myself a Pilates Power Gym a week ago and started using the side arm exercises 2x a week. I am taking Tumeric supplements and CBD oil 1x a day, but so far can only sleep on my left side.
Hi loved the workout. Will you be doing more on You Tube. I’ve found there aren’t many online workouts for the Aero Pilates reformer and find the general online reformer workouts confusing with regards to what resistance to use x👍🏻💪🏻😊
The good news is that Aeropilates is controlled weight bearing exercise without the weight on your stabilisers you can strengthen your mobilising muscles and build bone.
She says what cords she uses and when she changes them. Rebounding: 1 red + 1 black; warmup footwork: 2 black + 1 red until the mermaid (2 black) etc. Of course you have to adjust them according to your strength.
Hi Kathleen, The best way to approach resistance is to think of it as X light, light, medium and heavy. Each machine is different and each persons weight varies. More resistance works the bigger mobilising muscles and less resistance focuses on the core stabilising muscles so I recommend you do every exercise starting on Light-medium cords eg 2 black, three add and subtract to feel the difference. Most of my zoom classes use heavy weights for Warm-up, medium for hundred and legs, light for arms. I hope this helps.
I have the so called frozen shoulder: have to pay attention when doing eagles (laying down) and arm circles (sitting or kneeling). If it hurts, I lower down the number of cords first and pay extra attention in starting the movement from the shoulder blades. If it works I try to add gradually the resistance I like or feel I can manage without feeling uncomfortable. - Bastian
Hi Faith, All irises are inflammation of a joint usually due to over use so rest and ice help. To strengthen the shoulders I like the side sitting arm work which focuses on the rotators and the arms in straps series with a focus on working behind the shoulder blades and not in the shoulders.
My issue is moving my arm outward and feel that tug or reaching up for a cup for coffee and feel that tug and arm moving inward. Been like that for a few months now. I also have a question on my legs. Had a stroke 2 yrs ago and sold my spin bike because I can't stand up on it. I can't walk much either. What's best to strengthen my legs? Squats and stretching my calf muscles? I'm 61, to be 62 in March. Thank you!!
Hi Faith, The best workout to realign the pelvis and strengthen the legs is the Warm-Up footwork series; like squats lying down using resistance instead of body weight and strengthening the knees too. All positions every day 12 reps. Then the Legs in straps to work the hips and larger muscles.
I am having difficulty getting off the bed after laying down. I've tried from my back, moving towards the left and bringing carriage down and grabbing foot bar. If I had the unit on the floor I couldn't get up until I crawl to a sofa. This stroke really messed me up.
Dear Faith Many people find it hard to get up and down from lying. the best way is to roll to your side and place a foot on the floor then use the footbar to pull your self up.
lol, what football?? My shoulder is still acting up a lot for months now and my abs are weak and 2 yrs later still dealing with my stroke so when I roll to my left side the neck thing is in the way and can't use my right shoulder to help me get up. :) When you say "football" is that the left headrest you are talking about? Thanks!

Try each exercise with one extra and then one less cords and see and feel the difference. there is no right and wrong and each machine is different and your body weight is unique to you. more focuses on big mobilising muscles and fewer focuses on core.
I bought this a few years ago. If anybody suffers vertigo, then this is not for you. I suffer vertigo, and this product made me feel so sick. Otherwise it would of been a really good machine
Did you tried with the headrest raised? The few times this happened to people in our FB group it was just motion sickness because they were rebounding with a flat headrest. Headrest has to be raised. The Aeropilates neck pillow is another beautiful option. it’s an amazing machine!
Derry, one in 10000 people complain about vertigo while rebounding and lying down on the reformer. The simple fix is to raise the head rest to the highest position and have the eyes registering movement in the surrounding room instead of looking at a blank ceiling. Everyone to date found that to be the solution.
Marjolein ... thank you thank you for coming on RUclips! I am so excited!
You are so welcome!

Thank you for this workout. I recently bought the 651 model and have a model that you sold on Qvc from 15 years ago. I just subscribed to the channel.
Welcome aboard!
Fantastic no prop (other than rebounder) workout!!
More to come!

Amazing workout! thank you!!! ❤️
Glad you liked it!!
ohhhhhhh lol. Thanks! Will try that and see if it works. Thanks!!
Have fun!
Great video will you be uploading regularly and videos like this or teaching vids with a student.
Do you know any other vids on here that I would be able to find like that.
@Bastian Pfötchen thanks I appreciate
That's the plan!
Look in the playlist called CLASSES
@@lighterliving okay I will do that.
Is there a modification if my legs arent flexible enough to do the split at the top of each movement?
Im not sure which exercise you are referring to. Please explain do i can answer you perfectly
I think I was referring to 57:32. @@lighterliving
Marjolein, could you do a video showing exercises for those with osteoporosis? Thank you.
There is one on her lighterliving library. Did you watch it?
@@Aeropilates.Italia I did not know that. Thank you. I will look for it!

Great!!! Only problem for me, not knowing how any cords to use for each different segment.

How do I know if my straps are tight enough when not using them? Should it be tight onto the shoulder pads?
No they should be 2 inches longer
Marjolein, what do you suggest for shoulder issues? Think it's bursitis. Thank you for all of these videos!!

Yes, Marjolein has specifically addressed this issue on numerous occasions in many articles and videos. The answer is to raise one’s headrest.
@@Aeropilates.Italia yes! The neck pillow is great
