Back Splits (I, II, III) require how many repetitions per leg?

• A. 3 each leg
• B. 2 each leg
• C. 4 per leg
• D. 3 total

Answer: (A)

In reformer sequences like Back Splits I–III, the reps are designed to build control and symmetry, so you perform three repetitions on each leg. Doing three controlled reps per leg gives you enough cycles to refine alignment, pelvis stability, and breath coordination without rushing or losing form. Working per leg helps you notice and correct any tilt or collapse on that side, ensuring both legs are trained evenly. If reps were counted only as a total, you’d lose the emphasis on each leg and risk imbalances. So, three per leg keeps the movement balanced across the three variations and both sides.
