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

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.

Cross-reference

Positions this workout helps · 50

It serves Supine Base, Seated, Side-Lying and Standing. Every position in those families is listed below, hardest 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.
