Which exercise teaches Leg Alignment on the Trapeze/Table?

• A. Footwork: Bend and Flex
• B. Upper Arms
• C. Scapula Glides
• D. Push Through Seated Front

Answer: (A)

Leg alignment on the Trapeze/Table is reinforced by Footwork: Bend and Flex. This exercise trains the legs to stay in proper line with the hips and torso as you work against the springs. You cue the feet to stay parallel, the knees to track over the toes, and the pelvis to remain level while the spine lengthens. This creates a stable base, encourages even weight distribution, and helps prevent compensations in the knees or lower back as you press and bend the legs. The Bend and Flex sequence specifically emphasizes controlled knee and ankle articulation while maintaining that alignment, which is essential when working on the trapeze/table. The other options focus more on the upper body or scapular control, not on establishing and maintaining proper leg alignment on this apparatus.
