In Flexibility #3 Gluteal Repeater, which statement best describes the carriage movement?

• A. Push carriage back repeatedly like a moving lunge/glute stretch.
• B. Slide carriage forward and stop.
• C. Hold carriage stationary and perform a squat.
• D. Move carriage diagonally.

Answer: (A)

This pattern emphasizes dynamic hip extension of the glutes through repeated back-pushes of the carriage. The carriage is driven backward in a rhythmic, moving-lunge feel, creating and releasing a gluteal stretch with each repetition. This repeated back-and-forth action trains both flexibility and endurance in the glutes. The other descriptions don’t fit that dynamic back-and-forth stretch: sliding forward and stopping is a single, brief movement rather than a continuous back-push sequence; holding the carriage stationary isn’t involving movement at all; moving diagonally changes the path and load away from the straight back-and-forth gluteal stretch intended here.
