Towel forward reach and return
Move slowly inside a comfortable range. Do not force the end position or hold the breath; ease out if symptoms increase.



Integrate comfortable movement-range practice with controlled strength work; mobility stations are not maximal efforts.
Work 1 → 6 in order, twice · each 45 s station = up to 30 s work + at least 15 s transition
Move slowly inside a comfortable range. Do not force the end position or hold the breath; ease out if symptoms increase.
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.
Move the shoulder blades smoothly without lifting the ribs. Keep the neck relaxed.
Breathe throughout and keep the pelvis quiet. Shorten the lever or range before the back arches or the shoulders lose support.
Use a low, fixed, non-slip step. Place the entire foot on it, stand with control, then lower quietly; keep support within reach.

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: 3–5/10 on control work; no maximal efforts. 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.
Move slowly inside a comfortable range. Do not force the end position or hold the breath; ease out if symptoms increase. Comfortable range only; alternate sides or split the work window evenly.
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
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
Move the shoulder blades smoothly without lifting the ribs. Keep the neck relaxed. Unloaded drills train control, not a loaded row. Breathe continuously and release before straining.
Easier: Standing W shoulder-blade control
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 low, fixed, non-slip step. Place the entire foot on it, stand with control, then lower quietly; keep support within reach. Use about 3 s per repetition unless a slower tempo is written. Stop when the target is reached.
Easier: Chair sit-to-stand
Equipment: Towel; Chair; Wall; Floor or mat; Stable low step
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.
