Which option recalls the Hip ROM sequence before moving to push-ups and dips?

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

Answer: (B)

The idea here is to build hip mobility and stability in a controlled, progressive way before tackling upper-body pressing work. Moving through a single-leg series trains one hip at a time, which promotes balanced range of motion and solid pelvic control. That unilateral focus helps ensure the pelvis stays level and the spine remains supported when you later perform push-ups and dips, reducing compensations and risk of strain. Other options don’t provide that same targeted prep for the hips in a unilateral, stability-focused sequence, so they aren’t the recalled step before push-ups and dips.
