Side step-touch
Use a pace and route that keep steps controlled. Do not chase speed or breathlessness; leave space to slow down.



Develop core integration with controlled efforts and deliberate recovery rather than rushing between exercises.
Work 1 → 6 in order, twice · each 45 s station = up to 30 s work + at least 15 s transition
Use a pace and route that keep steps controlled. Do not chase speed or breathlessness; leave space to slow down.
Lower the free heel beside a low, fixed step without dropping the pelvis. Keep support available and reduce step height if control is lost.
Move the shoulder blades smoothly without lifting the ribs. Keep the neck relaxed.
Breathe throughout and keep the pelvis quiet. Shorten the lever or range before the back arches or the shoulders lose support.

Readiness comes before the clock. Take extra preparation or pause whenever needed.
Follow exercises 1–6 in order, twice. Each 45 s station holds up to 30 s work and at least 15 s recovery or transition.
Effort: 5–7/10; finish with 2–4 good repetitions in reserve. These are 12 station exposures, not 12 maximal strength sets.
Use the easier option named on the exercise card, shorten the lever or range, and stop the work early. Pause the clock when additional recovery or setup time is needed.
Repeat this selection until the target can be completed with stable technique on two occasions. Then change one variable only: range, repetitions within the time cap, or modest resistance. Never progress just to fill the timer.
Use a pace and route that keep steps controlled. Do not chase speed or breathlessness; leave space to slow down. Not a speed test. Recover for the remainder of the station.
Easier: reduce range, resistance or work time.
Lower the free heel beside a low, fixed step without dropping the pelvis. Keep support available and reduce step height if control is lost. Use about 3 s per repetition unless a slower tempo is written. Stop when the target is reached.
Easier: Chair sit-to-stand
Move the shoulder blades smoothly without lifting the ribs. Keep the neck relaxed. Unloaded drills train control, not a loaded row. Use about 3 s per repetition unless a slower tempo is written. Stop when the target is reached.
Easier: Standing W shoulder-blade control
Breathe throughout and keep the pelvis quiet. Shorten the lever or range before the back arches or the shoulders lose support. Use about 3 s per repetition and up to 5 s to change sides; the cap includes both sides.
Easier: Dead-bug heel tap
Breathe throughout and keep the pelvis quiet. Shorten the lever or range before the back arches or the shoulders lose support. Breathe continuously and release before straining.
Easier: Dead-bug heel tap
Use a pace and route that keep steps controlled. Do not chase speed or breathlessness; leave space to slow down. Not a speed test. Recover for the remainder of the station.
Easier: reduce range, resistance or work time.
Equipment: Stable low step; Wall; Floor or mat
Inspect supports and clear the floor. Chairs, steps and benches must not tip or slide. No improvised doorframe anchors, glass weights or unverified hanging supports.
Unloaded shoulder-control drills do not provide the same progressive pulling load as rows. Do not treat this as a complete pulling-strength programme.
Stop any movement that causes sharp or increasing pain, dizziness or unusual breathlessness. No pain, calorie-burn or injury-prevention outcome is guaranteed.
