PURPOSE
The Hands Behind is the second exercise in Running Drill 4.
This exercise brings the trunk into a more upright position, improves the perception of trunk position, and increases awareness of the tendency to lean from the waist.
In this drill, the Soldier will feel pushed into leaning and will have to resist.
The figure above breaks down the exercise as an individual Soldier conducts it:
STARTING POSITION
The starting position for the Hands Behind is the upright torso with the foot, hips, and shoulders in alignment with arms behind the back hands clasped together.
COUNT
● From the starting position, run a short distance or 3–5 seconds.
REPETITIONS
Repeat this exercise up to 5 times before running a short distance without Hands Behind.
