Long box push is a fantastic pilates exercise performed on the reformer. It helps to promote thoracic extension and strengthening through the shoulders, whilst also encouraging scapular control and increasing activation through the abdominals and gluteals to ensure the legs remain straight and a neutral spine is maintained.

Here, our staff members are demonstrating how we ensure that the movement is performed correctly by supporting the lumber spine and preventing the lower ribs coming off the box, allowing more focus on thoracic extension.
