If you come to a reformer class of mine, you'll notice I give spring 'options' throughout the exercise set ups. 🌀
Sometimes I'm questioned as to why I do this or why I will sometimes tweak people's springs after a few reps.
Hear (read 🤣) my some of my reasons "why".
1. Everybody's body in my class is different- whether that is their strength, flexibility or coordination, experience on a reformer or your build. By having options for spring selection, it makes the exercises accessible to all participants. 💪
2. Our bodies vary from session to session (especially for women). Perhaps you've been to a class prior to mine which left you sore or tired? 😮💨😴 Acknowledge those sensations in the body and know that you MAY need to adjust your springs to accommodate how your body is responding... On the flip side of that, perhaps your consistent efforts have seen your progress and therefore, you need to take a more challenging spring choice. 🏋️♀️
3. Form is key! 🔑 I would rather you change the spring and focus on form and alignment, then let your ego step in the way.
With all of the above, it's important to know that that just because your springs maybe be different to the person next to you, doesn't mean you aren't doing a great job!
Continue to keep your communication open with your instructors about how things feel spring wise, within your body and even just how you're feeling within yourself prior to classes beginning!
