Use low, fixed stepping surfaces for lower-limb control with complementary upper-body and trunk work.
Work 1 → 6 in order, twice · each 45 s station = up to 30 s work + at least 15 s transition
Use a low, fixed support for the rear foot. Load the front foot steadily and lower only as far as balance and knee/hip control allow.
Stack the ribs over the pelvis and use a comfortable hand position. Lower under control; choose a lever you can repeat cleanly.
Move through the hips with the ribs quiet. Stop the range before the lower back takes over; lower slowly.
Stand steadily and oppose one hand with the other through the towel. Move slowly without leaning back or anchoring to a fixture.
Breathe throughout and keep the pelvis quiet. Shorten the lever or range before the back arches or the shoulders lose support.
Use a pace and route that keep steps controlled. Do not chase speed or breathlessness; leave space to slow down.
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.
Use a low, fixed support for the rear foot. Load the front foot steadily and lower only as far as balance and knee/hip control allow. 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
Move through the hips with the ribs quiet. Stop the range before the lower back takes over; lower slowly. Use about 3 s per repetition unless a slower tempo is written. Stop when the target is reached.
Easier: Glute bridge
Stand steadily and oppose one hand with the other through the towel. Move slowly without leaning back or anchoring to a fixture. Use about 3 s per repetition unless a slower tempo is written. Stop when the target is reached.
Easier: Self-resisted one-arm row
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
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.
Equipment: Fixed low bench; Fixed low step; Towel; 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.
