Antonia advanced move

Hello!

Does 'move' here means 'movement', 'workout' or 'step':

Paragraph 1 (describes how simple curl-ups are done in two steps)

1. Lie on your back with your knees...

2. Keeping your tummy muscles taut...

Paragraph 2 (titled Advanced move)

Repeat the move above, but at the top of the tenth lift gently pulse up and down about 1 in higher, 5-10 times.

Thanks

Move seems to me to mean movement, action , step . However, I am not really clear on this: does move refer only to #2? If the context suggests that it may be a series of actions (#1 + #2), and if you are translating, you may want to pluralize...

Can't I just say "repeat the exercise" because 1 and 2 in #1 are two steps of one exercise?

But the title in #2 perhaps has slightly different meaning: perhaps I could translate it as "Advanced movement" or "Advanced exercise", because the exercise gets more demanding, you take one step further and "advance" the exercise.

Actually, it is an advanced version of the same exercise. So, you can add the adjective advanced to the word you use for the movement, exercise, or whatever.

Thanks LL, I translated it like that for the time being.
