Start here: Sit-to-Stand → Heel Raises → Step-Ups.
These are the exact movements of your protocol. Doing them correctly is what makes the difference.
Focus on controlled movement on the way down and fast intent on the way up.
This is the movement that trains your reaction speed. If this slows down, everything else declines.
Using momentum to stand instead of driving through your legs.
This trains the same push-off strength you use when stairs start feeling less automatic.
Pushing off the back leg instead of driving through the front leg.
This trains the ankle-calf system that reacts first when your balance is disrupted.
Moving too fast and losing control on the way down.
This helps your body practice stability without relying too much on your hands.
Holding on too much — this removes the balance challenge.
This builds control at the weakest point of the movement — where most people collapse.
Sitting fully instead of holding tension just above the chair.
