Which exercise has a 3-5 rep range and is known as Long Stretch?

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

Answer: (B)

The move being tested is the one that uses a long, extended line of the body along the reformer. Long Stretch is performed with the body lengthened, arms reaching to the footbar, and the carriage moved out and back in a controlled, straight line. This setup emphasizes length through the spine and the entire back chain, demanding strong core control and shoulder stability. Because of the technical precision required to maintain that long, aligned position, it’s typically done in a small rep range—about three to five reps—to keep form from breaking down. The other moves have different starting positions or movement patterns, so they don’t fit the same 3-5 rep, long-line description.
