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



Combine stable supports with hand-generated towel tension. The floor pair is low-load hip/trunk control; the final pair is deliberately easier than the primary strength 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
Keep the whole foot supported. Bend within a controllable range, then stand without bouncing or collapsing inward.
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.
Stand steadily and oppose one hand with the other through the towel. Move slowly without leaning back or anchoring to a fixture.
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.
Keep the whole foot supported. Bend within a controllable range, then stand without bouncing or collapsing inward.
Move the shoulder blades smoothly without lifting the ribs. Keep the neck relaxed.
Rise and lower slowly through the forefoot without rolling the ankle. Use secure fingertip support when needed.
Breathe throughout and keep the pelvis quiet. Shorten the lever or range before the back arches or the shoulders lose support.
Keep the elbow and wrist comfortable. Use only modest resistance and control both directions without straining.
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 about 3 s per repetition unless a slower tempo is written. Stop when the target is reached.
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
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
Move through the hips with the ribs quiet. Stop the range before the lower back takes over; lower slowly. Breathe continuously and release before straining.
Easier: Glute bridge
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
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
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
Rise and lower slowly through the forefoot without rolling the ankle. Use secure fingertip support when needed. Use about 3 s per repetition unless a slower tempo is written. Stop when the target is reached.
Easier: Chair-supported calf raise
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
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.
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: Chair; Wall; Towel; Floor / mat; Mat / floor; Stable chair
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.
