The Primer Plus workout DVD includes basic information and beginner workouts, which makes this reformer ideal for anyone beginning AeroPilates.

Description
More customization means burning more fat: with the aero Pilates 5-cord Reformer, you can make your workout as intense or easy as you desire. Using more cords is harder on the major mobilizing muscles while fewer cords make the exercise more intense on the core. You can further customize your workout by utilizing either the wider, flared foot bar or aero Pilates' taller, patented cardio rebounder. Upgraded to accommodate you: in addition to the cardio rebounder and foot bar, the aero Pilates 5-cord Reformer has many other extra features including a wider platform for more upper body space, a standing platform to challenge your balance, fur hand grips and a sturdy steel frame capable of supporting 350 lbs. Even more, the pulley risers allow you to adjust the height of the straps, which alters the angle and intensity of each exercise. Motivation to keep rebounding: with the two workout DVD featuring marjolein brugman, you'll be even more motivated to use your Pilates Reformer. The basic workout package DVD includes two beginner workouts featuring marjolein brugman and skylar rote. The basic aero Pilates workout uses the cardio rebounder and the foot bar for a well-rounded strength, flexibility, and cardio workout. The basic cardio workout is a simple and effective workout using the cardio rebounder to get your heart pumping and the fat burning.
