For those of us who do not work with (and do not own) Gratz springs it would have helped if Monica had given more details of resistance being worked with - other Instructors on Pilates Anytime do give indications of spring tensions! Difficult to keep up with the pace as there is a high percent of spring changes (which obviuusly has to be done by the practitioner) therefore I had to keep stopping the video because of these factors - therefore there was a significant loss of flow...... Very disappointing in comparison with other Instructors. The Cadillac video I worked with yesterday was excellent - as I said in my comment!
HI Linda, Monica uses Gratz springs because she is used to the feel of them when she teaches. Balanced Body Cadillacs have some weight options for leg springs but other than that they are essentially the same. The Arm springs are the Arm springs, the leg Springs are the Leg Springs, The Push through springs are the.... etc... I think it may have helped if Monica would mention how the spring tension typically feels in a particular exercise (light medium or heavy) but sometimes we don't do that because ultimately it is subjective. You also mentioned their was a high percentage of spring changes in her class, but in the 41 minutes I believe I counted 5. I think if you compared that to other classes you would find that to be pretty standard if not fewer changes than normal. I wonder if the edit where we faded on a few of the spring changes made you think she was doing something off camera in the set up that you couldn't catch up too? If so, we're sorry for that.
