Name a variation included in Hip ROM #6.

• A. Knee to chest.
• B. Bridge pose.
• C. Forward fold.
• D. Side plank.

Answer: (A)

The main idea being tested is identifying a movement that specifically targets hip flexion within a hip mobility sequence. The knee-to-chest variation does just that: it brings the knee toward the chest while keeping the pelvis stable, which isolates and increases the hip joint’s flexion ROM in a controlled way. This is a common, focused way to mobilize the hip without loading the spine, making it a natural fit for a hip ROM progression on the reformer. In contrast, the bridge pose emphasizes hip extension and glute strength, not a direct hip flexion range. A forward fold lengthens the posterior chain (hamstrings and lower back) more than it isolates hip flexion. Side plank targets core and shoulder stability rather than hip ROM.
