Halfway re-test
Re-test the chair stand, single-leg stance and TUG once this week, rested, on the same chair and hallway. Then take the hands off for balance.
This week
- Week-6 tests: chair stand, single-leg stance, TUG (in the Movement Lab, then record them on your progress page).
- Strength A and B at stage 2.
- Balance level 3 (hands off, support in reach) for stands; three longer sessions.
- Five 25-minute walks.
Tip: Most people see the chair stand move first. If yours has not, check the lowering: three seconds down is where the strength is built.
5 walks of 25 minutes — about 125 minutes this week.
Five walks. Re-test week: do the chair stand, single-leg stance and TUG once this week, rested.
Moderate = talking, not singing.
Two sessions: 2–3 sets of 8–12. Effort 6–7 out of 10 — three or four reps left.
Add a load (backpack with books, water jugs, bands, dumbbells) or move up a level. The last two reps of each set should feel like work.
All six: sit-to-stand, hip hinge, step-up, push, pull, heel raise & carry. Cues, levels and videos →
Arms crossed, no support, support within reach. Add the turn.
Daily set: tandem stand, single-leg stand, heel-to-toe walk, sideways walk, backward walk, weight shifts, toe raises, walk and turn. Three longer sessions this week.
