Andrea's Favorite: Cardio Reformer
Andrea Speir
•
45m
This 45 minute workout features some of Andrea's all time favorite upper body sculpting moves from her signature Cardio Reformer class at Speir Pilates!
Props:
* Sitting Box
* Dumbbells (3 lbs. recommended)
This workout fuses a highly effective approach of spiking the heart rate with cardio exercises (both on the reformer and off), then sculpts out the muscles with elongating movements on the reformer. This workout helps to boost metabolism, improve VO2 max, keep the body from plateauing, and help to shed any extra weight if that is a part of your fitness goals.
This workout is intermediate level, so get ready to move at a fairly good pace, while majorly feeling that burn.
