Which of the following is an exercise in the Hip Stability Drill?

• A. 8-Count T Push-Up
• B. Swimmer
• C. Lateral Leg Raise
• D. Shuttle Sprint

Answer: (C)

Hip stability training centers on keeping the pelvis steady and the spine aligned while the leg moves, using the hip abductors (like the gluteus medius) and core to control the pelvis. Lateral leg raise directly targets those hip stabilizers by lifting the leg out to the side while you keep the pelvis level and the torso still. This mirrors how the hips must stabilize during everyday movements and athletic actions, making it a representative exercise of the Hip Stability Drill.

The other options don’t emphasize this pelvic-stabilization focus. The 8-count T push-up is mainly an upper-body push and core control drill, not about stabilizing the hip. The swimmer targets the posterior chain and back endurance more than hip stabilization. The shuttle sprint is a speed/agility drill, not a hip-stability exercise.
