Coaching & session plan

HW45-062 · 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
Hand-release 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

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
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

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
Towel self-resisted elbow extension · 6–10 controlled reps

Keep the elbow and wrist comfortable. Use only modest resistance and control both directions without straining. 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.

C2
Backpack suitcase hold · 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. Secure the bag contents and check every handle and seam; no swinging. Breathe continuously and release before straining.

Easier: Wall forearm plank

D1
High-plank scapular push-up · 20–30 s hold

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

D2
Single-leg glute bridge · 3–5 reps / side

Move through the hips with the ribs quiet. Stop the range before the lower back takes over; lower slowly. 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 W shoulder-blade control · 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

E2
Water-bottle front-hold anti-rotation step · 6–10 controlled reps

Hold the bottle close and step without unwanted trunk rotation. This is coordinated trunk control, not cable-style anti-rotation resistance. 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 forearm plank

F1
Supported single-leg calf raise · 3–5 reps / side

Rise and lower slowly through the forefoot without rolling the ankle. Use secure fingertip support when needed. 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-supported calf raise

F2
Standing cross-body march · 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: Floor or mat; Towel; Backpack; Chair; Water bottle; Chair / 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.
