Leg sweeps reformer vs. mat, what’s the difference ? Reformer works the hamstring as the more dominant muscle Whereas Mat, the outer glute may be the focus Tension from the spring load adds a resistance as you press your foot towards the foot bars. Point your toe forward, flex it back. Using just body weight creates your glute to take the work load to hold your leg up and add the leg sweep motion still getting a little hamstring action but mainly your glute. Did you know the difference? Even though it’s the same move, the muscle groups can be completely different. bod. | modern pilates education
