ROPES AND LOOPS
Ropes are adjusted according to specific exercise demands and
user size. Many studios use a double loop strap that allows the
user to have the handles at two different lengths without adjusting
the ropes. The rope adjustments used in the manual are:
Regular loops: Resistance of loop or handle is somewhat taut on
the shoulder rests. With the double loop straps, the user will hold
the longer loop. Standard for most exercises.
Short loops: Resistance of loop or handle is somewhat taut on
the knobs that secure the shoulder rests to the head rest board.
With double loop straps the user holds smaller loop. Used for
rowing and some arm work exercises.
Very short loops: Loop or handle is approximately 5 inches
shorter than the headrest. Used for kneeling arm work facing the
straps such as chest expansion or thigh stretch.
Long loops: Loop or handle is longer than shoulder rest by a
length of one cotton loop. Used for long spine stretch or for feet
in the straps for users with tighter hamstrings.
