Description
Reformer Pilates used to be my go-to workout, but then weight lifting took over and I cut it out completely, until my trainer recommended I start again to work on my core strength. So I brought in Bryony Basse (formerly Deery), Pilates expert and founder of the Pilates by Bryony app, to explain why Pilates and weight training work better together. She walks me through how Pilates changes the way you lift, the real difference between mat and reformer, how to start as a beginner, Pilates during pregnancy and postpartum, and why your workout routine doesn’t have to be expensive.
