Coaching & session plan

BW45-032 · Unilateral Lower Body · Control

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
Pike 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
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

B2
Quadruped upper-back rotation · 4–6 slow reps

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.

C1
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

C2
Forearm plank body saw · 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

D1
Sliding hamstring curl · 6–10 controlled reps

Use a clear, compatible sliding surface. Keep the hips controlled as the heels move; shorten the slide before the pelvis drops. Use about 3 s per repetition unless a slower tempo is written. Stop when the target is reached.

Easier: Glute bridge

D2
Side-plank reach-through · 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
Supported forward ankle rock · 4–6 slow reps

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.

E2
Hollow-body tuck hold · 20–30 s hold

Breathe throughout and keep the pelvis quiet. Shorten the lever or range before the back arches or the shoulders lose support. Breathe continuously and release before straining.

Easier: Dead-bug heel tap

F1
Standing bent-knee 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
Floor-to-stand through half-kneeling · 3–5 reps / side

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

Before you start

Equipment: Fixed low bench; Floor or mat; Stable chair against wall; Floor / mat; Wall; Sliders or smooth suitable floor; Sliders or towels on suitable floor; Stable support nearby; Wall for balance; Mat and support if needed

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.
