How I Ended My Lower Back Pain - Part 3: Pilates Reformer Rating According to Free-Pilates.com Users: Many of the stretches I used to do on the floor, I now do on a Pilates Reformer. I bought a Stamina 4500 for $250 on Amazon.com. It's a great machine. It makes these stretching exercises fun, and more effective. In this video I demonstrate some of the exercises I do specifically to eliminate lower back pain. I use this machine for other exercises as well, but the ones I demo on this video are the most important for my low back. The 10 videos in this series will give you a complete overview of how, in 6 months, I eliminated the intense back pain that I lived with for 8 years. I purchased several inexpensive pieces of equipment, such as this Pilates Reformer, to make my exercise routine fun and effective, but they aren't necessary. What is necessary is your commitment to a daily exercise routine.

I notice this is a recent video, relatively speaking. Do you feel that the Reformer model you have still offers enough resistance for progressive exercises? reecevideos It's very good for abs. The booklet that comes with this reformer says there are over 4000 different exercises you can do with it. I don't know about that. But most of the exercises I do are focused on abs. Also leg/trunk stretches for my back.. reecevideos I bought the reformer at around the same time as the other pieces of equipment. It's a Stamina 4500 (Amazon - $219 shipped). It was an excellent investment. I use it every day and it really makes a difference. mariawise Did you buy the reformer after having bought all other equipment? which one is really the good one? ThaGiver any of these good for abs? parisensore Many people buy these and don't use them. So I was able to find this on Craisgslist for $35 after hunting for a few months.
