What it buys you
Recovering from a flat session without carrying it forward. Nobody performs at their best every time; the reset is the training.
Capacity trained
Mentality. Attentional control, arousal regulation and confidence under load. Trains calm presence without adding performance pressure.
Energy
Modelled kilocalories
| Reference body | 10 min | 20 min | 30 min | 45 min |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Male reference · 82 kg | 23 kcal | 46 kcal | 69 kcal | 103 kcal |
| Female reference · 68 kg | 19 kcal | 38 kcal | 57 kcal | 86 kcal |
Energy figures are modelled from standard activity MET values (Ainsworth Compendium, 2011) and the ACSM equation, not measured on you. They scale linearly with your own body mass, so a body 10% heavier burns about 10% more at the same intensity.
kcal = METs × 3.5 × bodyweight(kg) ÷ 200 × minutes (ACSM)
Load is effort, not pain. If a movement hurts rather than works, stop and see a clinician. Lifting another person is strength training with a person-shaped load — build the pattern unloaded first.

Honest framing
Training makes a posture available and sustainable. It is capability work, not a treatment for anything, and no single session changes a number. Consistency over eight weeks does.
