Develop lower-body strength & control 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
Keep short, deliberate steps and stable hand support. Reduce the distance before the trunk or shoulder position is lost.
Use a low, fixed, non-slip step. Place the entire foot on it, stand with control, then lower quietly; keep support within reach.
Soften the knees and send the hips back. Keep any load close; stop before the trunk position becomes difficult to control.
Use a fixed support nearby and look ahead. Work inside a controllable range; stop or reset after a loss of balance.
Breathe throughout and keep the pelvis quiet. Shorten the lever or range before the back arches or the shoulders lose support.
Rise and lower slowly through the forefoot without rolling the ankle. Use secure fingertip support when needed.
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.
Keep short, deliberate steps and stable hand support. Reduce the distance before the trunk or shoulder position is lost. 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: Quadruped hip rock-back
Use a low, fixed, non-slip step. Place the entire foot on it, stand with control, then lower quietly; keep support within reach. Use about 3 s per repetition unless a slower tempo is written. Stop when the target is reached.
Easier: Chair sit-to-stand
Soften the knees and send the hips back. Keep any load close; stop before the trunk position becomes difficult to control. Use about 3 s per repetition unless a slower tempo is written. Stop when the target is reached.
Easier: Seated hip hinge
Use a fixed support nearby and look ahead. Work inside a controllable range; stop or reset after a loss of balance. Use about 3 s per repetition unless a slower tempo is written. Stop when the target is reached.
Easier: Supported semi-tandem stance
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 unless a slower tempo is written. Stop when the target is reached.
Easier: Dead-bug heel tap
Rise and lower slowly through the forefoot without rolling the ankle. Use secure fingertip support when needed. 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: Chair-supported calf raise
Equipment: Mat and support if needed; Stable low step; Wall; Stable support nearby; Floor or mat; Wall for balance
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.
