Warm–up Exercise Drills

Warm–up Exercise Drills
The standardized physical training session will always include the
following elements: warm–up, activity and cool–down. The warm–up
should last approximately 15 minutes and occur just before the activities
of the physical training session. On training days that concentrate
primarily on strength and mobility, the performance of 4 for the Core
and the Hip Stability Drill should be conducted, followed by Conditioning
Drill 1. On training days that concentrate primarily on endurance and
mobility, the warm–up consists of the performance of Conditioning
Drill 1, followed by The Military Movement Drill. After the warm–up,
you are prepared for more vigorous conditioning activities. Optimal
musculoskeletal function requires that an adequate range of motion be
maintained at all joints. The dynamic exercises contained in each of the
warm–up drills challenge the body’s range of motion to achieve a variety
of postures.
