Use low, fixed stepping surfaces for lower-limb control with complementary upper-body and trunk work.
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
Use a low, fixed support for the rear foot. Load the front foot steadily and lower only as far as balance and knee/hip control allow.
Stack the ribs over the pelvis and use a comfortable hand position. Lower under control; choose a lever you can repeat cleanly.
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.
Move through the hips with the ribs quiet. Stop the range before the lower back takes over; lower slowly.
Breathe throughout and keep the pelvis quiet. Shorten the lever or range before the back arches or the shoulders lose support.
Stand on a low, fixed step and lower the free heel toward the floor. Keep the stance foot supported; choose a height you can control.
Advanced: the feet must be on a fixed, non-slip support. Keep the head clear of impact and stop before shoulder or neck control changes.
Stand steadily and oppose one hand with the other through the towel. Move slowly without leaning back or anchoring to a fixture.
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.
Use a low, fixed support for the rear foot. Load the front foot steadily and lower only as far as balance and knee/hip control allow. 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
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
Soften the knees and send the hips back. Keep any load close; stop before the trunk position becomes difficult to control. Use about 3 s per repetition unless a slower tempo is written. Stop when the target is reached.
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. Breathe continuously and release before straining.
Easier: Standing W shoulder-blade control
Move through the hips with the ribs quiet. Stop the range before the lower back takes over; lower slowly. Use about 3 s per repetition and up to 5 s to change sides; the cap includes both sides.
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
Stand on a low, fixed step and lower the free heel toward the floor. Keep the stance foot supported; choose a height you can control. Use about 3 s per repetition unless a slower tempo is written. Stop when the target is reached.
Easier: Chair sit-to-stand
Advanced: the feet must be on a fixed, non-slip support. Keep the head clear of impact and stop before shoulder or neck control changes. Use about 3 s per repetition unless a slower tempo is written. Stop when the target is reached.
Easier: Wall push-up
Stand steadily and oppose one hand with the other through the towel. Move slowly without leaning back or anchoring to a fixture. 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. 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. Breathe continuously and release before straining.
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: Fixed low bench; Fixed low step; Towel; Floor / mat; Floor or mat; Stable low step; Mat / floor; 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.
Advanced exercise present: use only after the component movement has been demonstrated with control.
Advanced session: confirm the component skills before starting.
Stop any movement that causes sharp or increasing pain, dizziness or unusual breathlessness. No pain, calorie-burn or injury-prevention outcome is guaranteed.
