Forward step-down
Stand on a low, fixed step and lower the free heel toward the floor. Keep the stance foot supported; choose a height you can control.



Practice the main lower-body, pushing, posterior-chain and trunk patterns without taking sets to failure.
Alternate each pair (A1/A2 … F1/F2) for 3 rounds · one exercise starts every minute · up to 40 s work, rest for the unused time
Stand on a low, fixed step and lower the free heel toward the floor. Keep the stance foot supported; choose a height you can control.
Stack the ribs over the pelvis and use a comfortable hand position. Lower under control; choose a lever you can repeat cleanly.
Move through the hips with the ribs quiet. Stop the range before the lower back takes over; lower slowly.
Move the shoulder blades smoothly without lifting the ribs. Keep the neck relaxed.
Keep the whole foot supported. Bend within a controllable range, then stand without bouncing or collapsing inward.
Breathe throughout and keep the pelvis quiet. Shorten the lever or range before the back arches or the shoulders lose support.
Move slowly inside a comfortable range. Do not force the end position or hold the breath; ease out if symptoms increase.
Breathe throughout and keep the pelvis quiet. Shorten the lever or range before the back arches or the shoulders lose support.
Keep the pelvis steady rather than rolling to gain height. Use a small controlled range and equal exposure on both sides.
Move slowly inside a comfortable range. Do not force the end position or hold the breath; ease out if symptoms increase.
Rise and lower slowly through the forefoot without rolling the ankle. Use secure fingertip support when needed.
Use a pace and route that keep steps controlled. Do not chase speed or breathlessness; leave space to slow down.

Readiness comes before the clock. Take extra preparation or pause whenever needed.
Six consecutive pairs, A1/A2 through F1/F2. Repeat each pair three times. Each minute holds up to 40 s work and at least 20 s recovery or transition.
Effort: 5–7/10; finish with 2–4 good repetitions in reserve. These are 36 station exposures, not 36 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.
Stand on a low, fixed step and lower the free heel toward the floor. Keep the stance foot supported; choose a height you can control. Use about 3 s per repetition unless a slower tempo is written. Stop when the target is reached.
Easier: Chair sit-to-stand
Stack the ribs over the pelvis and use a comfortable hand position. Lower under control; choose a lever you can repeat cleanly. Use about 3 s per repetition unless a slower tempo is written. Stop when the target is reached.
Easier: Wall push-up
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
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
Keep the whole foot supported. Bend within a controllable range, then stand without bouncing or collapsing inward. 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 sit-to-stand
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
Move slowly inside a comfortable range. Do not force the end position or hold the breath; ease out if symptoms increase. Comfortable range only; alternate sides or split the work window evenly.
Easier: reduce range, resistance or work time.

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.

Equipment: Stable low step; Floor or mat; Floor / mat; Mat / floor; Chair
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.
