Leg Springs

Leg springs are ankle loops attached to the Cadillac spring system for hip, leg, and core coordination work. They provide feedback for parallel, turned-out, and locomotion patterns such as walking and frogs. On this site, leg-spring exercises build hip control and lower-body endurance with clear spring tension. Begin with small range and symmetrical tension before adding circles or cross-body patterns. Confirm loop security and spring parity before loading single-leg work.
