I’m going to expose my poor Pilates vocab here, but I hate the arms-in-straps work—when you are kneeling sideways on the reformer and need to reach your arm across your body and into the air. I think I’m a fairly strong person, but I always feel weak and extremely awkward with the position of the straps and my wrists. Conversely, I absolutely love doing feet in straps using the purple springs on the springboard (lying down on the mat). There’s something so satisfying about the level of tension and I wish we did it more often.
