Water-bottle stationary split squat
Keep the whole foot supported. Bend within a controllable range, then stand without bouncing or collapsing inward.



Develop home strength & control with controlled efforts and deliberate recovery rather than rushing between exercises.
Alternate each pair (A1/A2 … F1/F2) for 3 rounds · one exercise starts every minute · up to 40 s work, rest for the unused time
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.
Soften the knees and send the hips back. Keep any load close; stop before the trunk position becomes difficult to control.
Move the shoulder blades smoothly without lifting the ribs. Keep the neck relaxed.
Place a light, closed backpack securely across the hip crease, not the abdomen. Hold it steady while bridging without lumbar arching.
Breathe throughout and keep the pelvis quiet. Shorten the lever or range before the back arches or the shoulders lose support.
Keep the whole foot supported. Bend within a controllable range, then stand without bouncing or collapsing inward.
Place hands on a fixed wall and step back to a manageable angle. Keep the body organised while bending and straightening the elbows.
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 fixed support nearby and look ahead. Work inside a controllable range; stop or reset after a loss of balance.
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.
Six consecutive pairs, A1/A2 through F1/F2. Repeat each pair three times. Each minute holds up to 40 s work and at least 20 s recovery or transition.
Effort: 5–7/10; finish with 2–4 good repetitions in reserve. These are 36 station exposures, not 36 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.
Keep the whole foot supported. Bend within a controllable range, then stand without bouncing or collapsing inward. 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: 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. Breathe continuously and release before straining.
Easier: reduce range, resistance or work time.
Soften the knees and send the hips back. Keep any load close; stop before the trunk position becomes difficult to control. 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: Wall-target hip hinge
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: reduce range, resistance or work time.
Place a light, closed backpack securely across the hip crease, not the abdomen. Hold it steady while bridging without lumbar arching. Secure the bag contents and check every handle and seam; no swinging. Use about 3 s per repetition unless a slower tempo is written. Stop when the target is reached.
Easier: Glute bridge
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
Keep the whole foot supported. Bend within a controllable range, then stand without bouncing or collapsing inward. 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: Chair sit-to-stand
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
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. Use about 3 s per repetition and up to 5 s to change sides; the cap includes both sides.
Easier: Dead-bug heel tap
Use a fixed support nearby and look ahead. Work inside a controllable range; stop or reset after a loss of balance. Use about 3 s per repetition unless a slower tempo is written. Stop when the target is reached.
Easier: Supported semi-tandem stance
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: Water bottles; Wall; Chair / counter; Backpack; Floor or mat; Water bottle; Towel; Mat / floor
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.
