Which exercise uses 3-4 springs?

• A. Pelvic Stabilization #7 Single Knee Pull
• B. Pelvic Stabilization #6 Heel Raises III
• C. Pelvic Stabilization #8 Single Knee Extension
• D. Pelvic Stabilization #9 Leg Press

Answer: (B)

Spring resistance on the Reformer increases as you move through the pelvic stabilization progressions. The third level, indicated by Heel Raises III, is designed to be performed with higher resistance, typically using three to four springs. This heavier load challenges the pelvis and hip stabilizers more, while still allowing for controlled, precise movement. The other pelvic stabilization moves—Single Knee Pull, Single Knee Extension, and Leg Press—are generally done with lighter or fewer springs, focusing on form and control rather than maximal resistance. Therefore, the exercise that uses three to four springs is the Heel Raises III choice.
