Which exercise has a 3-5 rep range and is named for an upward motion?

• A. Long Stretch
• B. Reach
• C. Up Stretch
• D. Twist

Answer: (C)

Thinking about how the move is described helps here: the name suggests lifting upward, and the rep range of three to five is used when the focus is on controlled, purposeful power rather than high repetition. Up Stretch fits because it centers on an upward motion, extending the body away from the reformer in a lifted, lengthened position while maintaining control. The short 3-5 rep sequence trains you to produce clean, precise upward movement with stability throughout the torso and limbs. In contrast, Long Stretch is more about a long forward reach and sustained stability in a horizontal plane, typically not limited to an upward lift; Reach emphasizes a forward extension rather than vertical ascent; Twist introduces rotational work, which isn’t about moving upward.
