What is exercise #4 in Hip Stability Drills?

• A. Lateral Leg Raise
• B. Single Leg Tuck
• C. Medial Leg Raise
• D. Bent Leg Lateral Leg Raise

Answer: (B)

Hip stability drills progress from simple leg actions to movements that demand balance, pelvic control, and a braced core while the leg moves. The fourth exercise, Single Leg Tuck, challenges all of those elements at once: you stand on one leg and tuck the knee toward the chest, keeping the pelvis level and the torso braced as gravity and the moving leg test your balance. This combination—unilateral stance, knee flexion toward the chest, and trunk stabilization—creates a functional stability demand that fits the early-to-mid progression. The other options focus on hip abduction or adduction with different knee positions and don’t integrate the single-leg balance with a knee tuck in the same way, so they belong earlier in the sequence.
