Which exercise is performed for 4-6 reps and is named for reaching the arms forward?

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

Answer: (C)

Arms reaching forward defines this Reach exercise on the Reformer, and the 4-6 reps place emphasis on precision and control rather than momentum. When you reach forward, the goal is to lengthen the spine, engage the upper-back and shoulder stabilizers, and keep the pelvis and core in alignment while the carriage moves. The name itself describes the action you’re performing, and the short rep range helps you feel and maintain correct form with a focus on scapular depression/protraction and thoracic extension. The other options involve different arm directions or movements—long or upward reaches, or rotation—so they don’t match the forward-reaching cue as directly.
