Focus: Combining everything you've learned · ~25 minutes

Chair Squat to Reach

Squat, then reach both arms overhead as you stand.

Wall or incline Push-Up + Hold

Add a 3-second hold at the bottom of each rep.

Modified Jumping Jacks (side to side)

Light cardio — one leg at a time, keep knees soft, arms swinging naturally.

Standing Row + Balance

Towel/Band row while standing on one leg if balance allows.

Gentle Standing Forward Fold

Bend knees as much as needed. Never force this stretch.

Day 7

Reflect & Reset

Focus: Rest, reflection, and planning ahead.

You made it through your first week. Take today fully off from structured exercise. Spend a few minutes reflecting: Which days felt easiest? Which felt hardest? Where did you notice the most improvement? Use these answers to guide how you repeat or adjust this plan next week. Consistency over the next several weeks is what creates lasting change — not any single session.
