SNAKE TWIST | UNIVERSAL REFORMER
"The snake and twist ends with a beautiful challenge to your core strength and balance. You reach into a single arm side plank followed by a side bend very much like on the mat. An added challenge is to maintain the carriage steady while you do it. I love to test with this exercise how well I have done my reformer until this point as you really need to find your back connection and reach of your lower body. As you have only one foot and one hand touching the apparatus, you need to make good use of them. This multifaceted exercise is a true test to your two way stretch powered by your strong center.
