Coaching & session plan

BW12-022 · Lower-Body Strength & Control

01 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
Bodyweight 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
Hamstring walkout · 5–8 controlled reps

Start in a low bridge. Take small heel steps out and back without sagging; stop the walkout before hamstring cramping. Use about 3 s per repetition unless a slower tempo is written. Stop when the target is reached.

Easier: Glute bridge

4
Standing hip airplane · 2–3 reps / side

Use a fixed support nearby and look ahead. Work inside a controllable range; stop or reset after a loss of balance. 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: Supported semi-tandem stance

5
High-plank alternating leg 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. 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
Standing calf raise · 5–8 controlled reps

Rise and lower slowly through the forefoot without rolling the ankle. Use secure fingertip support when needed. Use about 3 s per repetition unless a slower tempo is written. Stop when the target is reached.

Easier: Chair-supported calf raise

Before you start

Equipment: Floor or mat; Fixed support available

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.

Advanced exercise present: use only after the component movement has been demonstrated with control.

Unloaded shoulder-control drills do not provide the same progressive pulling load as rows. Do not treat this as a complete pulling-strength programme.

Advanced session: confirm the component skills before starting.

Stop any movement that causes sharp or increasing pain, dizziness or unusual breathlessness. No pain, calorie-burn or injury-prevention outcome is guaranteed.
