Develop tempo control with controlled efforts and deliberate recovery rather than rushing between exercises.
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
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.
Stack the ribs over the pelvis and use a comfortable hand position. Lower under control; choose a lever you can repeat cleanly.
Use a clear, compatible sliding surface. Keep the hips controlled as the heels move; shorten the slide before the pelvis drops.
Move the shoulder blades smoothly without lifting the ribs. Keep the neck relaxed.
Use a low, fixed, non-slip step. Place the entire foot on it, stand with control, then lower quietly; keep support within reach.
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.
Use a fixed support nearby and look ahead. Work inside a controllable range; stop or reset after a loss of balance.
Stack the ribs over the pelvis and use a comfortable hand position. Lower under control; choose a lever you can repeat cleanly.
Rise and lower slowly through the forefoot without rolling the ankle. Use secure fingertip support when needed.
Keep short, deliberate steps and stable hand support. Reduce the distance before the trunk or shoulder position is lost.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
Equipment: Stable chair against wall; Floor or mat; Sliders or towels on suitable floor; Stable low step; Mat / floor; Fixed low step; 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.
