Twelve minutes.
Every muscle.
Before the world wakes.

Too small to skip

Twelve minutes is 0.8% of your day — a dose you can repeat when tired, travelling or late.

Muscle is your glucose sink

Skeletal muscle takes up most of the glucose your meals release. Loaded before breakfast, it handles the day's food.

Joints feed on movement

Cartilage has no blood supply. Loading pumps fluid through it, which is why stiffness fades as you move.

The clock

0:00A1 → A2
2:00B1 → B2
4:00C1 → C2
Round 2the score round — beat every Round 1 number
6:00A1 → A2
8:00B1 → B2
10:00C1 → C2

Each couplet: 60 s scored → the strength set → 10 s to move on. Done at 12:00.

How to run it

  1. Round 1 is the warm-up: 70% effort, easy breathing, every rep clean.
  2. Round 2 is the score round: beat your Round 1 number on every cardio move.
  3. Cardio = clean reps in 60 seconds. Write the number. Tomorrow you beat it.
  4. Can't finish the strength set? Take the easier version — never a worse rep.
