What is the first exercise in the Recovery Drill sequence?

The first exercise in the Recovery Drill sequence is the overhead arm pull. This exercise is designed to help improve flexibility in the shoulders and upper body, which is essential for overall physical health and performance. It is typically performed standing, where one arm reaches overhead while pulling back with the opposite hand. This encourages a good stretch in the shoulder and upper torso, which can help alleviate tightness and improve range of motion.

Starting the Recovery Drill with the overhead arm pull sets a foundation for the subsequent exercises, as it warms up the muscles and prepares them for further stretching. It is important in the context of physical training to open up the body in a way that promotes recovery and helps prevent injury.

The other exercises, while valuable in their own right, follow the overhead arm pull in the sequence, ensuring a comprehensive approach to recovery and flexibility throughout the body.
