The other week we mentioned that Melissa Breen is an avid Align-Pilates apparatus fan and uses our A2R reformer. Check out her routine below and see if you can steel some tips for your own routine:

Monday Madness

“I love Monday’s for a few reason, it’s the freshest I am for training because Sunday is my rest day, I get to run fast because on Monday’s I always have a block start session and I get to finish my day with a Pilates session on my A2R Reformer.”

7.30am

Wake up, breakfast (cereal, fruit and milk) and coffee, play time with my cat Cleo, and getting ready for training
