Which variant involves an extended leg that remains long and stable while the other leg jumps?

• A. Pelvic Stabilization #15.
• B. Pelvic Stabilization #14.
• C. Pelvic Stabilization #12.
• D. Pelvic Stabilization #13.

Answer: (A)

Focus on keeping a long, stable line through the extended leg while the opposite leg initiates a jump. This variant trains you to hold neutral alignment in the pelvis and trunk, so the standing leg stays long from hip to toe even as the other leg moves. You brace the deep core and obliques, engage the glutes of the standing leg, and prevent the pelvis from tilting or shifting. The jumping leg drives from the hip while the extended leg remains lengthened and steady, creating a clear contrast between movement and stability. This emphasis on pelvis control and maintaining leg length under load is what makes this variant the best fit. Other variants tend to involve shortening the extended leg or allowing pelvic movement, which disrupts the long, stable line.
