Equipment
Straps
Reformer straps attach to the spring system and provide hand or foot loops for resisted movement. They add feedback for control, range, and coordination in upper- and lower-body exercises. Straps appear across beginner through advanced work on this site — from Hundred Prep and leg circles to long-box and spine massage sequences. Difficulty comes more from spring setting and range than from the straps themselves. Check that loops are secure, even, and appropriate for the exercise before loading the shoulders or hips.
