2	Hip Circleslong spine crown to tail — no segment collapses	2 × 8
3	Cat-Cowpattern before pace — position sets the speed limit	6/side

Phase 2 · Reactive Power & Elasticity6-8 min · sub-max explosive · full rest between efforts

Functional loading demands positional integrity — regress range before load with knee/ankle restrictions. Scale load to your level, stop at pain, follow the BPIT Principle of Intensity and NASM/ACSM/ACE safety guidance. Educational — not medical advice.
