Coaching & session plan
BW12-011 · Foundation Strength01 Prepare · 00:00–02:00
- Easy march or seated march · 60 sBegin slowly and check your space.
- Comfortable movement rehearsal · 60 sUse easy versions of the first two stations; extend preparation when needed.
Readiness comes before the clock. Take extra preparation or pause whenever needed.
02 Main work · 02:00–11:00
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.
03 Scale & progress
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.
04 Recover · 11:00–12:00
- Easy walk / march and settle · 60 sEase the pace; do not stop abruptly if still breathing hard.
Exercise cues, sides & easier options
1
Alternating side toe taps · 15–25 s comfortable rhythm
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.
2
Pause squat · 5–8 controlled reps
Keep the whole foot supported. Bend within a controllable range, then stand without bouncing or collapsing inward. Use about 3 s per repetition unless a slower tempo is written. Stop when the target is reached.
Easier: Chair sit-to-stand
3
High-plank scapular push-up · 15–20 s hold
Move the shoulder blades smoothly without lifting the ribs. Keep the neck relaxed. Unloaded drills train control, not a loaded row. Breathe continuously and release before straining.
Easier: Standing W shoulder-blade control
4
Glute bridge · 5–8 controlled reps
Move through the hips with the ribs quiet. Stop the range before the lower back takes over; lower slowly. Use about 3 s per repetition unless a slower tempo is written. Stop when the target is reached.
Easier: Glute bridge hold
5
Straight-leg side-plank hip lift · 2–3 reps / side
Breathe throughout and keep the pelvis quiet. Shorten the lever or range before the back arches or the shoulders lose support. Match both sides; the displayed dose is per side. Use about 3 s per repetition and up to 5 s to change sides; the cap includes both sides.
Easier: Dead-bug heel tap
6
Side step with low arm sweep · 15–25 s comfortable rhythm
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.
Before you start
Equipment: Floor or mat; Floor / 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.
Source family name is not a beginner clearance. Selection level is based on the most demanding included exercise.
Stop any movement that causes sharp or increasing pain, dizziness or unusual breathlessness. No pain, calorie-burn or injury-prevention outcome is guaranteed.
