Chest Lift Reformer

 

Chest Lift • Reformer

 

Chest lift reformer straps on upper arms is a fun exercise to do. Although the setting requires some preparation, it is definitely worth it! The resistance of the straps on the upper arm helps facilitate deeper connections in the body and therefore increase strength. From this basic exercise we can spread wide for obliques, leg variations, curling and arching (when coming back to starting position) and more. Try it out!!
