Which exercise is performed for 3 reps and is a twisting movement?

• A. Down Stretch
• B. Long Stretch
• C. Round Back
• D. Twist

Answer: (D)

Rotation of the torso with controlled movement and pelvis stability is being tested. The Twist on the Reformer is performed in a three-repetition sequence, emphasizing safe torso rotation, oblique engagement, and keeping the hips quiet as the carriage moves with the breath. This twisting pattern targets spinal rotation and the muscles that support it, while maintaining a long, aligned line through the shoulders and hips. Down Stretch involves a forward, lengthened reach without any twist, Long Stretch focuses on maintaining a long, straight body position with arms reaching forward and no rotation, and Round Back emphasizes rounding the spine into flexion rather than turning the torso. So the three-rep twisting movement best fits the Twist, matching both the rotation and repetition pattern described.
