Which statement describes a progression in the Abdominal & Hip Flexor Series?

• A. The sequence progresses from Inverted V to Round Spine with a spring change between #1 and #2.
• B. It begins with Round Spine and then moves to Inverted V Stretch.
• C. The sequence uses no springs at all.
• D. The sequence repeats Inverted V Stretch for #1 and #2.

Answer: (A)

In this series, movements are arranged to build control by changing body position and spring resistance. The sequence starts in Inverted V, then moves to Round Spine, and there’s a spring change between the first two moves. That spring change marks the progression, shifting the load as you move from the inverted position to the rounded spine to challenge the abdominal and hip flexor work in a new way. Starting with Round Spine would skip the intended order, using no springs would remove the necessary resistance, and repeating Inverted V wouldn’t show progression through different shapes.
