Number marks (Abb. A)
• The number marks serve as support and
control during your stretching exercises. You
can gradually increase your flexibility and
track your progress as you improve your
range of motion.
• For example, you can start by holding strap
1 (Fig. B, C, E) during a particular exercise,
but once your range of motion improves,
then you can use the shorter band (strap 2) to
perform the same exercise.
