Fire hydrants are a great way to work hip stability, but not every version is the same.
This progression moves from easier to harder:
Level 1: Side-Lying Fire Hydrant
Level 2: Quadruped Fire Hydrant
Level 3: Modified Side Plank Fire Hydrant
Level 4: Standing Fire Hydrant
Start with the level you can control well, then progress from there. The goal is clean movement, good pelvic control, and feeling the outside of the hip work.
