This is a blog about running.Really. I just happen to be doing other things too! I loved todays class. We did something called short spine on the reformer. Now the reformer looks like a flat total gym but bigger (that's what most people recognize when describing the reformer). Now if that still draws a blank, then it looks like a large pad on pulleys and rails. At the bottom there's a foot bar and springs for added resistance. All of these things are used to make the most ordinary movements even more difficult.
Well short spine starts with your feet in the pulleys. You let the pulleys pull your feet up (with control obvi) and then you lift your body (which was laying on the pad that is on rails moved by the pulleys) up in the air and then drag your feet downwards until your legs shape are in a diamond outline. I don't know how else to explain. Then the feet push forward back into Frog. Heels almost together, legs extended out, and knees together.
It's darn Tough! I can tell you I'm sore already.
It was a great class. I'm looking forward to next week.
Back to running tomorrow.
