Coaching & session plan
HW12-020 · Bottle Total Body01 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.
Exercise cues, sides & easier options
1
Water-bottle reverse lunge · 2–3 reps / side
Keep the whole foot supported. Bend within a controllable range, then stand without bouncing or collapsing inward. Use capped, non-glass bottles; match loads when two bottles are used. 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
2
Water-bottle floor press · 5–8 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 capped, non-glass bottles; match loads when two bottles are used. Use about 3 s per repetition unless a slower tempo is written. Stop when the target is reached.
Easier: Wall push-up
3
Seated water-bottle row · 5–8 controlled reps
Keep the trunk steady and draw the elbow back without twisting. Lower or release tension gradually. Use capped, non-glass bottles; match loads when two bottles are used. Use about 3 s per repetition unless a slower tempo is written. Stop when the target is reached.
Easier: Self-resisted one-arm row
4
Standing hip hinge · 5–8 controlled reps
Soften the knees and send the hips back. Keep any load close; stop before the trunk position becomes difficult to control. Use about 3 s per repetition unless a slower tempo is written. Stop when the target is reached.
Easier: Wall-target hip hinge
5
Backpack bear-hug hold · 15–20 s hold
Breathe throughout and keep the pelvis quiet. Shorten the lever or range before the back arches or the shoulders lose support. Secure the bag contents and check every handle and seam; no swinging. Breathe continuously and release before straining.
Easier: Wall forearm plank
6
Seated water-bottle curl · 5–8 controlled reps
Keep the elbow and wrist comfortable. Use only modest resistance and control both directions without straining. Use capped, non-glass bottles; match loads when two bottles are used. Use about 3 s per repetition unless a slower tempo is written. Stop when the target is reached.
Easier: reduce range, resistance or work time.
Before you start
Equipment: Water bottles; Chair + water bottles; Backpack
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.
