Side step-touch
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.
Stack the ribs over the pelvis and use a comfortable hand position. Lower under control; choose a lever you can repeat cleanly.
Sit tall and use hand-against-hand towel tension for a slow row. Keep the shoulders down and use the same range on both sides.
Breathe throughout and keep the pelvis quiet. Shorten the lever or range before the back arches or the shoulders lose support.
Use a fixed support nearby and look ahead. Work inside a controllable range; stop or reset after a loss of balance.

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. Use about 3 s per repetition unless a slower tempo is written. Stop when the target is reached.
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
Sit tall and use hand-against-hand towel tension for a slow row. Keep the shoulders down and use the same range on both sides. 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. 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 fixed support nearby and look ahead. Work inside a controllable range; stop or reset after a loss of balance. Breathe continuously and release before straining.
Easier: Supported semi-tandem stance
Equipment: Chair; Floor or mat; Towel; Wall; Chair / wall nearby
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.
