Staggered-stance hip hinge
Soften the knees and send the hips back. Keep any load close; stop before the trunk position becomes difficult to control.



Prioritise hip extension and posterior-chain control while preserving enough low-load work to manage fatigue.
Work 1 → 6 in order, twice · each 45 s station = up to 30 s work + at least 15 s transition
Soften the knees and send the hips back. Keep any load close; stop before the trunk position becomes difficult to control.
Start in a low bridge. Take small heel steps out and back without sagging; stop the walkout before hamstring cramping.
Sit securely and create modest resistance between hands while drawing one elbow back. Do not attach the towel to a door or furniture.
Keep the whole foot supported. Bend within a controllable range, then stand without bouncing or collapsing inward.
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.
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
Start in a low bridge. Take small heel steps out and back without sagging; stop the walkout before hamstring cramping. Use about 3 s per repetition unless a slower tempo is written. Stop when the target is reached.
Easier: Glute bridge
Sit securely and create modest resistance between hands while drawing one elbow back. Do not attach the towel to a door or furniture. Breathe continuously and release before straining.
Easier: Self-resisted one-arm row
Keep the whole foot supported. Bend within a controllable range, then stand without bouncing or collapsing inward. Breathe continuously and release before straining.
Easier: Chair sit-to-stand
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
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: Floor or mat; Towel; Wall
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.
