1. The Hundred on the Reformer 

This Pilates exercise starts with curling the head and upper spine as the legs fold in and the arms remain straight on the reformer. The legs, then taken to a tabletop position, extend straight up. Hold the position for some time and then release. 

2. Leg Circles on the Reformer 

This is a simple and effective exercise for beginners. All you need to do is lift your legs together with the help of the strings. Then, rotate outward from the hips, and it should not go lower than 45 degrees. Hold on to this position and exhale to bring the legs up. Inhale to sweep open and exhale to bring together and up. 

3. The Frog On The Reformer 

The frog position is another simple exercise to keep your spine straight. Rotate your legs outward at the hips, and keep the inner thighs engaged, making sure not to take the knees beyond shoulder-width. Hold on to this position for some time, and then release. 

4. Short Box on Flat Back 

For this exercise, all you need to do is sit up and be sure to keep the torso straight. Lift your hand and place it at the back of your head and don't arch back. Hold on to this position for some time and then release. 

5. Elephant on the Reformer 

All you need to do is sit straight and connect through your heels. The carriage moves in and out because of the lift of your abs, not just a hinge at the hips. Hold on to this position and exhale to bring the carriage in briskly.
