In Reformer Pilates, resistance isnât about âheavier.â Itâs about control, alignment, and intelligent muscle activation.
What springs do:
⢠Add or reduce assistance
⢠Challenge control not just power
⢠Create feedback for alignment
⢠Improve deep core stability
Beginner mistake: CONTROL > LOAD
⢠Overloading skips foundation
⢠Momentum replaces intention
⢠Fewer springs = better form
Pilates isnât about lifting more.
Itâs about moving better.
