lift, followed by head up the entire time and legs at 45
How is footwork on the jump board different than footwork on the reformer?
- the "ground" is flat compared to round which elicits a reaction closer to real life than
the foot bar on the reformer
- the "ground" is round like the foot bar so the work is pretty much the same
- the foot bar is better because our client's feet should only be on that surface
- you jump for footwork instead of bending and extending the knees - ANS-the "ground"
is flat compared to round which elicits a reaction closer to real life than the foot bar on
the reformer
