Which exercise is performed for 3 repetitions per leg?

• A. Arabesque I and II
• B. Down Stretch
• C. Reach
• D. Twist

Answer: (A)

Arabesque I and II are leg-extension movements on the reformer that demand a high level of control to keep the pelvis stable and the spine long while the leg moves through a precise range. Because of that challenge, the standard prescription is three deliberate repetitions per leg to build balance, alignment, and hip–posterior chain engagement without letting technique break down from fatigue. The other options involve different patterns or less demanding control, so they’re typically performed with more repetitions or in longer sequences.
