Coaching & session plan

HW45-059 · Upper Body Home

01 Prepare · 00:00–05:00

  • Easy march / walk · 60 sBegin slowly; check the route and breathing.
  • Comfortable shoulder circles · 60 sUse small, unforced arm movements.
  • Unloaded hinge rehearsal · 60 sMove the hips back with soft knees.
  • Supported squat / step rehearsal · 60 sUse a comfortable depth or low step.
  • First-pair rehearsal · 60 sRehearse easier versions of the first two stations; no loaded or maximal efforts.

Readiness comes before the clock. Take extra preparation or pause whenever needed.

02 Main work · 05:00–41:00

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.

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 · 41:00–45:00

  • Ease the pace · 60 sEasy walk or march.
  • Comfortable upper-body movement · 60 sRelax the shoulders and arms.
  • Comfortable lower-body movement · 60 sChoose gentle ankle or hip movement, without forcing range.
  • Settle and record · 60 sLet breathing settle; note how the session felt.

Exercise cues, sides & easier options

A1
Wall shoulder-blade push-up · 6–10 controlled reps

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

A2
Alternating reverse lunge · 3–5 reps / side

Keep the whole foot supported. Bend within a controllable range, then stand without bouncing or collapsing inward. 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

B1
Backpack bent-over row · 6–10 controlled reps

Keep the trunk steady and draw the elbow back without twisting. Lower or release tension gradually. 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: Self-resisted one-arm row

B2
Unloaded good morning · 6–10 controlled reps

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

C1
Wide-grip towel shoulder raise · 4–6 slow reps

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.

C2
Wall side plank · 12–15 s / side

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

D1
Narrow-hand wall push-up · 6–10 controlled reps

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

D2
Single-leg sliding hamstring curl · 3–5 reps / side

Advanced: first demonstrate a controlled two-leg curl. Use a short single-leg slide; stop with cramping or loss of pelvic 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: Glute bridge

E1
Seated self-resisted towel row · 6–10 controlled reps

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

E2
High plank · 20–30 s hold

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

F1
Supported controlled knee lift · 6–10 controlled reps

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

F2
Low-impact boxer step · 20–30 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: Wall; Backpack; Towel; Sliders or towels on suitable floor; Floor or mat; Chair / counter

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.
