Lifting the legs up and down on the reformer with a magic circle squeezed between the ankles can target a few things at once, depending on position and spring load:

Main benefits

1. Inner thigh activation (adductors)
The squeeze on the magic circle recruits the inner thighs. That can help:

* Pelvic stability
* Midline connection
* Leg alignment awareness
* Support for deep core co-contraction

You’ll often feel that “zip up through the centre” effect.

2. Deep core challenge
When you lift/lower the legs, especially in supine tabletop / legs extended, the abdominals work to:

* Resist lumbar arching
* Control pelvic position
* Manage load transfer from legs → trunk

The circle can sometimes make people find TA/pelvic floor connection more clearly.

3. Hip stability + control
Maintaining equal pressure into the circle asks the hips to stabilise rather than wobble or rotate. Useful for:

* Hip control
* Femur tracking awareness
* Balanced muscle recruitment side to side

4. Lower abdominal endurance
If the movement is controlled (not momentum-driven), the lowering phase especially challenges:

* Lower abs
* Obliques
* Eccentric control

5. Neuromuscular focus / proprioception
The circle gives feedback:
“Are both legs working equally?”
“Am I losing connection?”
“Am I gripping hip flexors?”

This is where I get to every weekend… very fortunate to have this place to switch off and reset.

This week’s warriors 💛
Showing up in the heat, pushing through, and still giving everything on the Reformer 🔥

Hot classes hit different… more focus, more sweat, more reset. Cold towels waiting, fresh water ready, and a space that always meets you where you are.
