Which exercise is listed as part of the 4 Trapeze/Tower Exercises you can't do on the Reformer?

• A. Leg Springs Dolphin
• B. Arch and Curl
• C. Monkeys
• D. Rowing Back - Flat Back

Answer: (A)

The key idea is that some trapeze/tower moves rely on the Tower’s specific leg-spring setup, attachment points, and spatial arrangement that the Reformer simply can’t reproduce exactly. Leg Springs Dolphin uses those leg springs in a way that creates resistance and a path of movement that the Reformer's carriage-and-spring system cannot mimic. Because of that unique spring configuration and alignment, this exercise is listed as one you can’t do on the Reformer in its exact form. Arch and Curl, Monkeys, and Rowing Back - Flat Back are also from the trapeze/tower repertoire, but the question focuses on which is included in that particular four-exercise list, and Leg Springs Dolphin is the example that fits that criteria.
