CHRISTOPHER HOWELL: Hi. I'm Chris from Expert Village, and today I'm going to cover how to prep yourself for going into military, training-wise. Another exercise that they would do will be the jumping jacks, just like regular jumping jacks; the only difference is you're keeping in synch with the whole cadence thing again. They'll be doing "One, two, three" and then everyone will say, "One" They're doing counts of three in most situations. One, two, three. Two. One, two, three. Three. One, two, three. Four. And they'll kinda ream right into you and kinda drill it into you. When you do the one, two, three, hands are directly above your head, feet are spread, and then hands are to your side, feet are together. Now, there are some people out there. "You can't do jumping jacks like that." So it takes a little time and a little training. You might think it's pretty bad but you could be one of those people, so you know you just need to practice all these things, make sure you have it down the right way. Right and left, right. Right, left.
