Coaching & session plan
HW12-006 · Home Strength & Control01 Prepare · 00:00–02:00
- Easy march or seated march · 60 sBegin slowly and check your space.
- Comfortable movement rehearsal · 60 sUse easy versions of the first two stations; extend preparation when needed.
Readiness comes before the clock. Take extra preparation or pause whenever needed.
02 Main work · 02:00–11:00
Follow exercises 1–6 in order, twice. Each 45 s station holds up to 30 s work and at least 15 s recovery or transition.
Effort: 5–7/10; finish with 2–4 good repetitions in reserve. These are 12 station exposures, not 12 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 · 11:00–12:00
- Easy walk / march and settle · 60 sEase the pace; do not stop abruptly if still breathing hard.

Easier: reduce range, resistance or work time.
Before you start
Equipment: Stable low step; Wall; Backpack; Towel
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.
Choose a controllable range and modest effort. Stop for sharp pain, dizziness, chest discomfort or unusual breathlessness.
Stop any movement that causes sharp or increasing pain, dizziness or unusual breathlessness. No pain, calorie-burn or injury-prevention outcome is guaranteed.
