Low-impact boxer step
Use a pace and route that keep steps controlled. Do not chase speed or breathlessness; leave space to slow down.



Build steady, submaximal movement capacity without using intensity or speed as the only measure of progress.
Work 1 → 6 in order, twice · each 45 s station = up to 30 s work + at least 15 s transition
Use a pace and route that keep steps controlled. Do not chase speed or breathlessness; leave space to slow down.
Keep the whole foot supported. Bend within a controllable range, then stand without bouncing or collapsing inward.
Move the shoulder blades smoothly without lifting the ribs. Keep the neck relaxed.
Sit securely and create modest resistance between hands while drawing one elbow back. Do not attach the towel to a door or furniture.
Hold the bottle close and step without unwanted trunk rotation. This is coordinated trunk control, not cable-style anti-rotation resistance.
Rise and lower slowly through the forefoot without rolling the ankle. Use secure fingertip support when needed.

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 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.
Keep the whole foot supported. Bend within a controllable range, then stand without bouncing or collapsing inward. 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
Move the shoulder blades smoothly without lifting the ribs. Keep the neck relaxed. Unloaded drills train control, not a loaded row. Use about 3 s per repetition unless a slower tempo is written. Stop when the target is reached.
Easier: Standing W shoulder-blade control
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
Hold the bottle close and step without unwanted trunk rotation. This is coordinated trunk control, not cable-style anti-rotation resistance. 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 forearm plank
Rise and lower slowly through the forefoot without rolling the ankle. Use secure fingertip support when needed. 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: Chair-supported calf raise
Equipment: Wall; Towel; Water bottle; Water bottles
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.
