Reformer Core and Ab Exercises

Here are 163 core exercises from our classes, from simple starters to planks on the box. Each one comes with springs, flow and cues.

How to Use Core Exercises in Your Class

Start Early

A calm core exercise in the warm-up shows the group what today is about. Save the harder variations for the main part.

Choose Springs on Purpose

Less spring doesn't always mean easier. The carriage gets less stable and the core has to hold more. Try new variations yourself first.

Don't Do Them All at Once

Five ab exercises in a row tire a group out fast. Mix in legs or back, then come back to the core later.
