Ropes and Loops
Ropes are adjusted according to specific exercise demands and
user size. Many studios use a double loop strap that allows the
user to have the ropes at two different lengths without adjusting
them. The rope adjustments used in the manual are:
Regular loops: Resistance of loop or handle is somewhat taut on
the shoulder rests. With the double loop straps, the user will hold
the longer loop. Standard for most exercises.
Short loops: Resistance of loop or handle is somewhat taut on
the silver pegs. With double loop straps the user holds smaller
loop. Used for rowing and some arm work exercises.
Very short loops: Loop or handle is approximately 5 inches
shorter than the headrest. Used for kneeling arm work facing the
straps such as chest expansion or thigh stretch.
Long loops: Loop or handle is longer than shoulder rest by a
length of one cotton loop. Used for long spine stretch or for feet
in the straps for users with tighter hamstrings.
Risers
Risers can be adjusted by pulling pin out of the riser, sliding it up
or down until desired holes line up, and replacing the pin. Moving
a riser will change the angle of pull for an exercise. Different
studios and teachers have different riser height preferences. For
exercises like leg circles with feet in the straps, the user will have
a bigger range of motion available if the risers are in a higher
position.
Upholstery Cleaning and Disinfecting.
You can extend the life of your Reformer upholstery by keeping
it clean and free of dirt, oil and perspiration. After each use, wipe
down the upholstery with a solution of mild soap and water. Then
wipe it down with clean water and dry with a rag.
