Two-a-week minimum

Guidelines land on strength work at least twice a week plus regular aerobic effort. This programme covers both daily.

Grip carries over

Grip strength limits carries, rows and pulls long before the big muscles do.

Strength predicts survival

Grip and leg strength track with living longer and living independently — more than almost any other simple measure.

The clock

Round 1the warm-up — 70%, perfect form
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. Everything you have built, in one session — hold the standard.
  2. Beat one number today. One is enough; thirty days of one is a year of progress.
  3. Finish the session, then walk ten minutes. That is the full dose.
  4. After session 30, start again at 01 — the numbers, not the moves, are the progress.
