Which exercise corresponds to Preparation Drills number 7?

• A. Prone Row
• B. Forward Lunge
• C. Push-up (Moderate Cadence)
• D. Bent Leg Body Twist

Answer: (B)

Preparation Drills aim to prime the body with mobility, stability, and movement pattern rehearsal before more demanding tasks. The seventh drill in that sequence focuses on activating the lower body through a controlled, unilateral pattern that builds hip and knee control, ankle mobility, and core stability in a loaded stance. The forward lunge fits this purpose best because it requires the hips to extend while the torso stays upright, the knee tracks over the toe, and the core stabilizes the trunk as weight shifts between legs. This trains unilateral leg strength, balance, and functional movement that prepare you for sprinting, jumping, or squatting tasks that follow in the drill sequence. The other options emphasize upper-body pushing, spinal rotation, or different movement planes, which don’t align with the unilateral leg readiness emphasis of this drill.
