In this 20 Min Intermediate Pilates Allegro 2 Balanced Body Reformer Workout (Pilates Core & Mid Back), you will practice how to stabilize your shoulders by strengthening the mid and lower trapezius muscles as well as perform full body exercises. These intermediate full-body exercises will help you engage your trunk stability and deep core stabilizers while keeping your shoulders away from your ears. All you need for this workout is a Pilates Reformer Long Box for a few exercises and your Reformer. Make sure you listen to the cues in each position for the setup of the exercise to help you feel the most out of this Pilates full body workout. You can use any Reformer model for this workout; I am using the Balanced Body Allegro 2 Reformer.
