How much resistance (in weight) do the springs provide?
For full strength springs, there is 5lbs. in tension for the first inch of tension, increasing by approximately 1lb. per inch thereafter. Up to four, full tension springs and one, half tension spring can be used on a STOTT Reformer. To get the approximate resistance in pounds multiply the number of springs by the distance traveled. Most people keep it simple by making a note of the number of springs used per exercise.
