Week 1 preview · Saturday
146 planned aerobic min this week · 5 strength sessions
Total planned time: 90 minutes. 0–5 Opening stretches · 30-second holds; 5–20 Standing cardio · get warm before lifting; 20–35 Pair 1 · Smith machine bench press ↔ Seated row machine; 35–50 Pair 2 · Lat pulldown machine ↔ Shoulder press machine; 50–65 Pair 3 · Pec fly machine ↔ Rear delt machine; 65–80 Pair 4 · Biceps curl machine ↔ Triceps extension machine; 80–85 Seated cool-down · cycling or rowing; 85–90 Closing stretches · 30-second holds. Cardio: 15 minutes. Cool-down: 5 minutes. Opening stretches: 5 minutes. Closing stretches: 5 minutes. Strength session: 60 minutes. Opening stretches come first, then standing cardio before the pairs. Stretching has ten 30-second holds per block with no added transition allowance. Four pairs remain hardest-first on lifting days; setup and needed brief recovery are inside the pair windows. Wednesday and Sunday retain their recovery roles. Stop or shorten for symptoms rather than forcing the full session. Before cardio, use gentle calf, hip-flexor, chest, forearm and side-body stretches on each side: 10 × 30-second comfortable holds = 5 minutes. No extra transition allowance. No bouncing, forced end range or breath-holding. Suggested: 15 minutes treadmill walking at comfortable conversational effort, starting easy. StairMaster or Gazelle/glider are alternatives where available; standing elliptical is another option. Sunday remains gentle. Record the actual machine and minutes; no preset measured speed or slope. Preferred treadmill 15° (~26.8% grade) is only for clinician-approved tolerance; reduce grade/speed as needed. Alternate one controlled set of Smith machine bench press with one of Seated row machine, then repeat for the prescribed sets of 10 reps within this 15-minute window. Pair 1 leads with the most demanding compound work. Station setup, warm-up sets, transitions and any needed brief breaks count. Keep 2–3 reps in reserve; do not rush or force all sets. Alternate one controlled set of Lat pulldown machine with one of Shoulder press machine, then repeat for the prescribed sets of 10 reps within this 15-minute window. Pair 2 continues compound or larger-muscle work. Station setup, warm-up sets, transitions and any needed brief breaks count. Keep 2–3 reps in reserve; do not rush or force all sets. Alternate one controlled set of Pec fly machine with one of Rear delt machine, then repeat for the prescribed sets of 10 reps within this 15-minute window. Pair 3 uses accessory machines. Station setup, warm-up sets, transitions and any needed brief breaks count. Keep 2–3 reps in reserve; do not rush or force all sets. Alternate one controlled set of Biceps curl machine with one of Triceps extension machine, then repeat for the prescribed sets of 10 reps within this 15-minute window. Pair 4 finishes with smaller-muscle or supported movements. Station setup, warm-up sets, transitions and any needed brief breaks count. Keep 2–3 reps in reserve; do not rush or force all sets. Suggested: 5 minutes easy stationary or recumbent cycling, gradually slowing; seated rowing is an alternative. Choose the actual machine and record minutes and effort. An elliptical is a standing alternative, not seated; do not label it seated. After seated cool-down, stretch calves, hamstrings, hip flexors, chest and shoulders on each side: 10 × 30-second comfortable holds = 5 minutes. No extra transition allowance. Use support and stop for pain.

Make space for a softer moment.
Try five minutes of relaxed breathing as a daily stress habit. Avoid tobacco, minimize alcohol, and don’t start drinking. Small habits complement clinical care; they don’t replace it.
