Build a defensible programming brief with assumptions and review points.

25 min planningLV 10 · DesignNotebook or on-screen workspace

Your outcome

A four-week planning framework for professional review.

Is this a fit?

You can already use the earlier templates and want to think more carefully about planning, observation or coaching. Level does not grant a qualification or clinical scope.

Before you begin

Work through the prompts using a fictional case or your own non-sensitive observations. This is a planning session, not a harder physical workout. Do not include names, medical records or genetic data in the workspace.

Your working brief

  1. 01

    Write the design question

    Planning prompt

    Define a fictional case, one goal and the constraints. List assumptions you would need to check with a real member.

  2. 02

    Build the structure

    Planning prompt

    Outline weekly session types, recovery opportunities and alternatives. Explain your choices instead of adding difficulty simply because this is LV 10.

  3. 03

    Specify decision rules

    Planning prompt

    State the observations that would support repeating, adapting or pausing the plan. Separate adherence from performance and symptoms.

  4. 04

    Peer-review the brief

    Planning prompt

    Ask a qualified colleague to challenge fit, scope, clarity and progression. Record unresolved issues. This exercise is not certification or authorization to coach outside your scope.

Make it work for you

Use the earlier levels whenever they fit better. Advanced levels add planning and judgment; they do not require harder exercise, restrictive eating or a higher health score.
