Low-impact skater step
Use a pace and route that keep steps controlled. Do not chase speed or breathlessness; leave space to slow down.



Develop recovery + capacity 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

Move slowly inside a comfortable range. Do not force the end position or hold the breath; ease out if symptoms increase.
Soften the knees and send the hips back. Keep any load close; stop before the trunk position becomes difficult to control.

Soften the knees and send the hips back. Keep any load close; stop before the trunk position becomes difficult to control.
Use a smooth, comfortable range and steady breathing. Stop before compensating to finish a target.
Breathe throughout and keep the pelvis quiet. Shorten the lever or range before the back arches or the shoulders lose support.

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: 3–5/10 on control work; no maximal efforts. 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.
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.
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.
Soften the knees and send the hips back. Keep any load close; stop before the trunk position becomes difficult to control. 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: Wall-target hip hinge
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: Dead-bug heel tap
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. Do side 1, take up to 5 s to switch, then side 2. Rest for all unused time.
Easier: Wall forearm plank
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.
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

Easier: reduce range, resistance or work time.
Equipment: Chair; Chair / counter; Wall; Mat / 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.
Unloaded shoulder-control drills do not provide the same progressive pulling load as rows. Do not treat this as a complete pulling-strength programme.
Stop any movement that causes sharp or increasing pain, dizziness or unusual breathlessness. No pain, calorie-burn or injury-prevention outcome is guaranteed.
