What equipment transition occurs after the leg lift exercise?

• A. Add resistance bands
• B. Remove the footbar and insert the jumpboard into the center position
• C. Switch to a pedal strap
• D. Move to a stability ball

Answer: (B)

In this reformer sequence, you move from using the footbar to a surface that changes how you push and control the movement. After the leg lift, the next transition is to remove the footbar and insert the jumpboard into the center position. The jumpboard provides a flat, centered surface that lets you press off with the legs in a different alignment and resistance pattern, challenging your core and pelvis stability while the carriage moves. This setup also reduces reliance on the footbar for stability, inviting cleaner articulation of the legs and spine. The other options don’t fit this typical progression. Adding resistance bands isn’t a standard mid-sequence transition on the reformer, switching to a pedal strap changes the type of leg work, and a stability ball isn’t used in this reformer transition.
