What is exercise #6 in Preparation Drills?

• A. Rower
• B. Windmill
• C. Squat Bender
• D. Rear Lunge

Answer: (B)

The element being tested is the specific order of movements in the Preparation Drills and which exercise sits at the sixth position. The Windmill is the sixth exercise in the standard Preparation Drills sequence, which is why it’s identified as the correct choice here. This drill focuses on mobility and stability, especially along the hips, hamstrings, and thoracic spine, by performing a controlled side bend with a wide stance and a reach toward the floor while the other arm sweeps up. That combination makes it a natural bridge between earlier, softer rotations or hinges and later, more demanding drills.

The other options cover different priorities: the Rower emphasizes torso rotation and shoulder mobility in a narrower setup, the Squat Bender targets hamstrings and lower back with a hinge motion, and the Rear Lunge adds unilateral leg movement and balance. Their roles fit elsewhere in the sequence rather than as the sixth move.
