Week At A Glance
Five-Week Low-Impact Cardio Base works when the reader needs structure more than novelty. The plan repeats a small set of sessions across 5 weeks so progress comes from consistency, not a new routine every day.
| Day | Session | Time | How to use it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day 1 | 12-Minute Chair-Optional Starter Strength + Warm-up choice | 12 min | Start the week with the most repeatable session. |
| Day 2 | Mobility reset + Core control | 15 min | Use a quieter day so the week does not depend on intensity. |
| Day 3 | Full-body strength + Optional cardio finish | 17 min | Finish only if the first two days felt controlled. |
| Review | Schedule note + Easier-day choice | 8 min | Keep the next week realistic by repeating what worked before adding a new variable. |
