What is exercise #3 in Preparation Drills?

• A. Rower
• B. Bend and Reach
• C. High Jumper (Moderate Cadence)
• D. Squat Bender

Answer: (C)

In Preparation Drills, the movements follow a fixed warm-up sequence designed to raise heart rate gradually while loosening major joints. The third exercise is High Jumper with a Moderate Cadence because after the initial Bend and Reach and the back-and-arm activation of the Rower, this step introduces a light, controlled plyometric-like movement to elevate heart rate and loosen hips and ankles without rushing. Doing it at a Moderate Cadence keeps the tempo steady and safe, ensuring good form as you transition smoothly to the next drill. Bend and Reach is typically first to lengthen the spine and stretch the hamstrings, and the Rower usually comes second to warm up the back and arms.
