Yes, if I think of that film with the older gentleman, that had three different exercise sets. If you listened to what he said, you can find opportunities for progression in it. You can sit in the chair and stand five times, ten times, twelve times, twenty times. You can tighten the strap in different ways, according to the instruction, a different number of times but increase all the time, if you have reached the goal, if you manage twelve times as he says in the film then you can increase to fifteen or twenty. So, the answer is there, but you have to think a little yourself as well

Continuity in follow-ups and support
