Which element would come before Push-ups and dips in the Hip ROM cue?

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

Answer: (B)

In hip ROM sequencing, movement builds from stable, controlled pelvis alignment to more integrated, loaded patterns. The single-leg series trains keeping the pelvis level and the spine neutral while the leg moves, focusing on unilateral control and hip range without adding upper-body load. That solid base is essential before moving to push-ups and dips, which require greater trunk stability and weight bearing through the upper body. Once you’ve established that solid unilateral control, the body is better prepared to handle the added coordination and resistance of push-ups and dips. Other options focus on different aspects of hip work, such as mobility or strap-based leg patterns, which don’t establish the same unilateral stability prerequisite before loaded upper-body movements.
