Coaching & session plan

BW45-031 · Unilateral Lower Body · Base

01 Prepare · 00:00–05:00

  • Easy march / walk · 60 sBegin slowly; check the route and breathing.
  • Comfortable shoulder circles · 60 sUse small, unforced arm movements.
  • Unloaded hinge rehearsal · 60 sMove the hips back with soft knees.
  • Supported squat / step rehearsal · 60 sUse a comfortable depth or low step.
  • First-pair rehearsal · 60 sRehearse easier versions of the first two stations; no loaded or maximal efforts.

Readiness comes before the clock. Take extra preparation or pause whenever needed.

02 Main work · 05:00–41:00

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.

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 · 41:00–45:00

  • Ease the pace · 60 sEasy walk or march.
  • Comfortable upper-body movement · 60 sRelax the shoulders and arms.
  • Comfortable lower-body movement · 60 sChoose gentle ankle or hip movement, without forcing range.
  • Settle and record · 60 sLet breathing settle; note how the session felt.

Exercise cues, sides & easier options

A1
Rear-foot-elevated split squat · 3–5 reps / side

Use a low, fixed support for the rear foot. Load the front foot steadily and lower only as far as balance and knee/hip control allow. 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

A2
Decline push-up · 6–10 controlled reps

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

B1
Wall sit · 20–30 s hold

Keep the whole foot supported. Bend within a controllable range, then stand without bouncing or collapsing inward. Breathe continuously and release before straining.

Easier: Chair sit-to-stand

B2
Quadruped arm reach · 6–10 controlled reps

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

C1
Single-leg sit-to-stand · 3–5 reps / side

Advanced: use a firm chair secured against a wall. Stand with one leg only if a controlled lowering is already possible; do not drop onto the seat. 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

C2
High-plank alternating leg lift · 3–5 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

D1
Feet-elevated glute bridge · 6–10 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

D2
Straight-leg side-plank hip lift · 3–5 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

E1
Split-stance weight shift · 6–10 controlled reps

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

E2
Seated tuck balance · 6–10 controlled reps

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

F1
Seated calf raise · 6–10 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

F2
Step-back burpee without jump · 6–10 controlled reps

Keep short, deliberate steps and stable hand support. Reduce the distance before the trunk or shoulder position is lost. Use about 3 s per repetition unless a slower tempo is written. Stop when the target is reached.

Easier: Quadruped hip rock-back

Before you start

Equipment: Fixed low bench; Fixed low step; Wall; Floor / mat; Stable chair against wall; Floor or mat; Stable chair; Clear floor

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.
