What is the benefit of using a "Box" with the reformer?

Using a "Box" with the reformer significantly enhances the versatility of exercises and provides additional support for modifications. The Box acts as an extension of the reformer's frame, allowing practitioners to perform a variety of movements that wouldn’t be possible on the reformer alone. This adaptability means that it can accommodate different body types and skill levels, offering customized options for each individual.

For example, when using the Box, you can perform exercises that engage a wider range of muscle groups or allow for greater stability during certain movements. This can be particularly beneficial for those who are working through injuries or are new to Pilates, as the Box provides a safe and supportive environment to explore various movements. Additionally, the Box allows for creative variations of traditional reformer exercises, making workouts more interesting and dynamic.

The other options may not capture the full scope of what the Box offers during a reformer workout. While isolating muscle groups and increasing workout intensity are important aspects of Pilates, these are not the primary benefits derived from using the Box itself.
