In Pelvic Stabilization #6 Heel Raises III, how many springs are used and how many reps are recommended?

• A. 2-3 springs; 4-8 reps.
• B. 3-4 springs; 4-8 reps.
• C. 4-5 springs; 6-10 reps.
• D. 1-2 springs; 10-15 reps.

Answer: (B)

This variation tests getting the right resistance and a controlled rhythm to keep the pelvis stable during the heel raise. Using three to four springs provides enough load to engage the pelvic floor, deep abdominal muscles, and glutes so the pelvis stays level as you lift the heels. The four-to-eight repetition range keeps the movement slow and precise, emphasizing control and alignment rather than raw endurance or heavy strain. If you use only one or two springs, the resistance is too light to challenge stabilization, which can let compensations creep in. If you go with too many springs or push into ten to fifteen reps, fatigue can undermine form and make it harder to maintain neutral pelvis and clean technique. So three to four springs with four to eight reps is the balanced choice for this exercise.
