ADVANCED TENDON STRETCH | UNIVERSAL REFORMER
"This exercise demands ultimate scoop-lift action in opposition to actively reaching the legs into a carriage edge. Your upside down head position significantly intensifies the level of difficulty because proprioceptive balance is relatively unfamiliar. Gravity naturally pulls downward so the body's weight can open springs with less effort. Having a strong center with a two-way stretch is paramount in Advanced Tendon Stretch to create internal resistance, delay and dynamics as we return upward to starting position." - Peter Fiasca
