Which exercise is performed for three repetitions and involves a twisting motion?

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

Answer: (A)

Twisting movement is being tested here. The exercise that matches a twisting motion on the reformer is the one that rotates the torso while the hips stay stable, typically performed for a set of three repetitions to build control and thoracic mobility. This contrasts with the other options, which emphasize lengthening or extending the spine in a straight line without rotation. In the twisting move, focus on rotating from the thoracic spine, keeping the pelvis and shoulders square and grounded, and using the breath to control the twist.
