This lesson video covers Side-lying Hip CARs - an accessible variation that removes the balance challenge so you can focus purely on hip control. The objective is to move the hip through its workspace - flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and internal/external rotation - while keeping the motion independent from excessive pelvic shifting or spine movement. Because you’re on the floor, it’s easier to learn the pattern, but it also demands extra awareness: the pelvis loves to “help” here. Move slowly, stay honest, and build clean hip rotation and control that carries over to squats, running, and daily movement.
