Cool-Down (5 minutes)

  • Hip flexor stretch (30 seconds each side)
  • Child's pose (1 minute)
  • Deep breathing (2 minutes)

💪 Pro Tips

  • Focus on control: Longer intervals mean more time under tension - make every second count
  • Breathe intentionally: Don't hold your breath. Exhale on exertion, inhale on the return
  • Master the transition: The hold from exercise #1 to #2 challenges your grip and core stability
  • Stay hydrated: Keep water nearby and sip during your rest intervals
