What is the second element in the Hip ROM memory cue?

• A. Feet-in-straps leg patterns
• B. Leg circles
• C. Single-leg series
• D. Push-ups and dips

Answer: (C)

In Hip ROM, the memory cue is a sequence that guides you through hip mobility with progressive demand. The second move focuses on unilateral work, the Single-leg series. After you’ve prepared the hips with a bilateral setup (such as feet-in-straps patterns that wake up both legs), switching to a single-leg series increases the challenge to pelvic stability, alignment, and control on one leg. It solidifies how the hip joint moves when the body isn’t supported by the other leg, which is essential before moving on to more isolated or circular hip motions. Push-ups and dips aren’t part of this hip sequence, and leg circles are typically introduced after you've developed that unilateral control, so they don’t fit as the second cue.
