This strap is everything!
I started doing yoga and pilates maybe 4-5 times per week about six months ago, and I’ve seen such a dynamic change in the way that my body both works and feels, that I’ve become a bit of an addict when it comes to the lifestyle. One of the girls I met in my vinyasa class recommended getting a strap to stretch out my body in different ways (as flexibility is my main weakness) and I started the hunt for one that would give results. I initially planned on getting one from a yoga goods company, but I started seeing information throughout my search on straps meant for restorative therapy, and opted to give that a look. I found this particular one on a fitness blog, and opted to give it a try a) because the price was right b) all of the reviews specifically mentioned the term “range of motion” and c) because those loops looked like they would be great to play around with. I got the strap and started giving it a try, and while I initially had no clue as to what I was doing, I eventually got the hang of it and started using it on almost a daily basis. On days when I was feeling particularly sore from class, I would rub on a little of my tea tree based pain reliever, ThermaChill Pain Relief Roll On Cold Therapy, 3 fl oz. - Top Choice for Arthritis, Migraine Relief, Joint & Muscle Pain - Limited Time Offer: Buy 1 Get 1 Free!, before I stretched with the strap and it was extremely soothing and also warmed my tight muscles. I recommend it because the loops allow you to get a great grip and steady yourself, but you can also use them to your advantage to challenge yourself. Oh, and I initially started on a mat, but I found that I got a lot more resistance and was able to brace myself better against a hardwood floor. At any rate, get this strap! It works amazingly.
