Reformer pilates exercises

The reformer pilates exercises session will start with 5 minutes of warm-up exercises, continue with resistance exercises for 20 minutes, and end with 5 minutes of cool-down exercises. The springs of the reformer pilates device will be adjusted to create mild fatigue in the first week and will be gradually increased to create moderate fatigue in the following weeks. Reformer pilates sessions will consist of 15-20 different exercises with 12-15 repetitions, including all major muscle groups. These sessions will also include exercises that strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. Reformer pilates sessions will be applied twice a week for 6 weeks, a total of 12 sessions. Apart from this, they will be asked to walk for at least 30 minutes a day, at least 3 days a week.
