What is the memory cue for Pelvic Stabilization?

• A. Supine arms, abs, and ring work
• B. Seated lumbar-support reach, pec, and oblique series
• C. Standing/lunge/split stretches
• D. Footbar leg presses, heel raises, single-leg control, then jumpboard jumps

Answer: (D)

Pelvic stabilization is built by a progression that trains the pelvis to stay neutral as the legs move in increasing challenge. The cue of relating footbar leg presses to heel raises, then to single-leg control, and finally to jumpboard jumps works because it maps a natural teaching path: begin with bilateral leg work that helps you feel and hold a stable pelvis, add a load through both legs with a focus on controlling the arch and alignment as you rise on the heels, progress to a unilateral stance that forces the pelvis to stabilize on one side, and finish with jumps that require maintaining that stability through impact and propulsion. This sequence reinforces the coordination of core, pelvic floor, and legs so the pelvis remains steady under dynamic demands, which is exactly what pelvic stabilization aims to train. The other sequences emphasize different regions (arms and rings, seated upper-body work, or basic stretches) and don’t provide the same focused progression for teaching and recalling pelvic stability.
