Pelvic Stabilization #6 is associated with which exercise?

• A. Heel Raises I
• B. Heel Raises II
• C. Heel Raises III
• D. Leg Press III

Answer: (C)

Pelvic stabilization means keeping the pelvis steady and the lower back protected while the legs move. In the Heel Raises progression on the Reformer, the third level places the most emphasis on maintaining a neutral pelvis as you lift the heels, so the movement challenge is not just ankle strength but controlled stability of the pelvis and spine. This makes Heel Raises III the best match for pelvic stabilization #6, because the exercise requires you to hold your pelvis still while the calves work, engaging the deep abdominal and hip stabilizers to prevent any pelvic tilt or unwanted lower-back movement. Heel Raises I and II typically involve the same basic motion but with less demand on pelvic control, focusing more on initial ankle engagement. Leg Press III is a different movement pattern entirely and isn’t part of the heel-raise sequence, so it doesn’t align with the pelvic-stabilization focus of this item.
