Coaching & session plan
HW12-097 · Step and Bottle Control01 Prepare · 00:00–02:00
- Easy march or seated march · 60 sBegin slowly and check your space.
- Comfortable movement rehearsal · 60 sUse easy versions of the first two stations; extend preparation when needed.
Readiness comes before the clock. Take extra preparation or pause whenever needed.
02 Main work · 02:00–11:00
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.
03 Scale & progress
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.
04 Recover · 11:00–12:00
- Easy walk / march and settle · 60 sEase the pace; do not stop abruptly if still breathing hard.
Exercise cues, sides & easier options
1
Lateral step-up · 5–8 controlled reps
Stand beside a low, fixed step. Place the whole leading foot on it, rise without pushing excessively from the trailing leg, then lower. Use about 3 s per repetition unless a slower tempo is written. Stop when the target is reached.
Easier: Chair sit-to-stand
2
One-arm supported water-bottle row · 2–3 reps / side
Brace a free hand on a fixed surface. Row the bottle with the other arm, keeping the trunk still; match work on both sides. Use capped, non-glass bottles; match loads when two bottles are used. 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: Self-resisted one-arm row
3
Water-bottle Romanian deadlift · 5–8 controlled reps
Soften the knees and send the hips back. Keep any load close; stop before the trunk position becomes difficult to control. 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-target hip hinge
4
Wall push-up · 5–8 controlled reps
Place hands on a fixed wall and step back to a manageable angle. Keep the body organised while bending and straightening the elbows. Use about 3 s per repetition unless a slower tempo is written. Stop when the target is reached.
Easier: Wall shoulder-blade push-up
5
Water-bottle calf raise · 5–8 controlled reps
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
6
Standing cross-body march · 15–25 s comfortable rhythm
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.
Before you start
Equipment: Stable low step; Chair + water bottle; Water bottles; 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.
