Spring Setup Ideas
Set your chair up for Pilatesology exercises in 3 steps:
1. In case your chair has a cut up pedal, lock it into one pedal
2. In case your chair has handles, take away them
3. In case you have greater than 2 springs, use the two heavier ones; ignore or take away the others
• Larger = heavier. The upper up your spring setting, the heavier the resistance
• Decrease = lighter. The decrease down your spring settings, the lighter the resistance
• Fingers on pedal is all the time 1 spring center
• Toes on pedal begin at 1Top, 1Bottom. Go heavier or lighter relying on physique wants
