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

• A. 3 each leg
• B. 3 per leg + 1 extra
• C. 2 per leg
• D. 4 per leg

Answer: (A)

Front Splits on the reformer are trained with a steady, controlled repetition pattern to build length and stability without letting form break down. Three repetitions on each leg is the standard approach for Front Splits I, II, and III because it provides enough practice to achieve more consistent depth and keep the pelvis neutral and the spine aligned while you lengthen the hip flexors and hamstrings. Fewer reps tend to undertrain the movement pattern, while more reps can lead to fatigue and technique breakdown. An extra rep would only be used if a specific progression calls for it, but the typical protocol is three per leg.
