Which exercise is described as having a semicircular path and is performed with three repetitions in each direction?

• A. Tick Tock
• B. Mermaid
• C. Semi-circle
• D. Double Leg Circles/Corkscrew

Answer: (C)

This question hinges on recognizing an exercise whose movement trace is an arc or half-circle. The Semi-Circle is named for the semicircular path the legs follow during the movement, with the torso staying stable as you draw the legs either in toward and away from the center or in an arc along the reformer carriage. Doing three repetitions in each direction reinforces even mobility and control through the hip and core without losing stability. The other options describe different movement patterns: Tick Tock involves a pendulum-like leg action rather than a smooth semicircular arc; Mermaid is a side-bending stretch; Double Leg Circles/Corkscrew uses circular or spiraling leg movements with pelvic and spine rotation, not the single semicircular arc emphasized here. So the exercise described, with a semicircular path and three repetitions in each direction, is the Semi-Circle.
