Full session

  1. 1. Warm-up (10 min) Pulse-raiser, joint circles, then 5+ very easy problems climbed slowly with quiet feet.
  2. 2. Circuit — 3 rounds of 6-8 easy problems Choose 6-8 problems well below your limit and climb them as a lap, resting only while walking between problems. Rest 5 min between rounds. Effort stays conversational — a light pump that never grows.
  3. 3. Movement standard Every problem climbed WELL: feet placed once, arms straight between moves, controlled tops (no desperate slaps on easy ground). Volume with bad habits is practice at bad habits.
  4. 4. Vary the diet Across rounds, swap 1-2 problems for different styles — slab, compression, something with a high foot. Breadth at easy grades is what beginner progress is made of.
  5. 5. Finish Stop while movement is still crisp. Downclimb the last problem of each round if the gym allows — free balance training.
