Which of the following is NOT a named Preparation Drill exercise?

• A. Lateral Shuffle.
• B. Bend and Reach.
• C. Rower.
• D. Windmill.

Answer: (A)

In the Preparation Drill set, the focus is a fixed sequence of dynamic movements designed to mobilize joints and prime the major muscle groups for activity. Bend and Reach, Rower, and Windmill are classic components of that warm-up, each targeting different parts of the body to improve mobility and readiness.

Lateral Shuffle, on the other hand, is an agility-focused movement that emphasizes quick side-to-side footwork and lateral positioning. It’s valuable for conditioning and athletic movement, but it isn’t part of the traditional Preparation Drill sequence, which is why it’s not considered a named Preparation Drill exercise.
