Love the idea of detailed single exercise demonstration, with text comments. Great for teachers. Thank you PA

Good description. I like the individual moves on the equipment being demonstrated and explained!

Thanks for this perfect explanation. You should do it for all the reformer exercises.

Nice explanation for a difficult exercise, always have trouble teaching this one, thank you Sarah :).

You give this as a fundamental move?

Wendy -Arbuckle shows her clients shoulders ON the box for backstroke.... Your client's shoulders are OFF . . Please clarify the differences. Thank you.

Anne ~ There are many ways to do every exercise depending on your training. Both versions are correct. I recommend trying both ways to see what works better for your body. I hope this helps!

Hi Anne, Gia is spot on. With the shoulders on the box, there would be more support for upper body; therefore, if the person is unable to hold the abdominal curl needed for the exercise, there would be less stress on the neck. With the shoulders off, a person will need to maintain a solid abdominal curl in order to keep the neck tension free. Additionally, for the sake of flow, the position of shoulders is dictated by the pelvis needing to be in the correct position to roll up to teaser which would be a logical transition when appropriate. I hope this helps.

Great explanation, thanks!!!

Great set-up and cues. Thank you
