Water-bottle stationary split squat
Keep the whole foot supported. Bend within a controllable range, then stand without bouncing or collapsing inward.



Use capped non-glass bottles for modest, controllable resistance, alternating lower- and upper-body demands.
Work 1 → 6 in order, twice · each 45 s station = up to 30 s work + at least 15 s transition
Keep the whole foot supported. Bend within a controllable range, then stand without bouncing or collapsing inward.
Stack the ribs over the pelvis and use a comfortable hand position. Lower under control; choose a lever you can repeat cleanly.
Brace a free hand on a fixed surface. Row the bottle with the other arm, keeping the trunk still; match work on both sides.
Soften the knees and send the hips back. Keep any load close; stop before the trunk position becomes difficult to control.
Breathe throughout and keep the pelvis quiet. Shorten the lever or range before the back arches or the shoulders lose support.
Keep the elbow and wrist comfortable. Use only modest resistance and control both directions without straining.

Readiness comes before the clock. Take extra preparation or pause whenever needed.
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.
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.
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
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
Brace a free hand on a fixed surface. Row the bottle with the other arm, keeping the trunk still; match work on both sides. 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: Self-resisted one-arm row
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
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
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.
Equipment: Water bottles; Chair + water bottle; Floor or mat
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.
