I've reached the simple goal and want to add in some basic gymnastics for strength and mobility. Can you recommend some resources that you trust?

I love the rings warmup and the basic rings workout.
Interesting. The approach is skills-based, e.g., no one prescribes reps for playing scales on the piano, either.Hello,
Coach Sommer's Building the Gymnastic Body gives really good exercises and progressions. Nevertheless, the book doesn't give sets / reps. It is above all based on the "feeling" (if we can hold a position or not). May be it is a "difficult" book to begin with ?
Kind regards,

That's not true.Nevertheless, the book doesn't give sets / reps
Really good book. Extremely detailed.I found the progressions as laid out in Overcoming Gravity by Steve Low to be easy to understand and straightforward.
Exploring this concept further, how does one "program" piano practice? What would the equivalent be for for a movement skill?Interesting. The approach is skills-based, e.g., no one prescribes reps for playing scales on the piano, either.
I don't program my instrument practice; I stand or sit at my instrument (depending on the instrument) and work on a skill - that's it. If I'm practicing a scale, I might practice it however it happens a time or two but then I'll adopt a particular focus and work on that focus. E.g., the last time I practiced the double bass, I was working on a few scales taken two notes to a bow, and I focused on that aspect of it - trying different fingerings so see what worked best with two-to-a-bow for a particular scale, using some not-so-good fingerings to see if I could make smooth transitions from string to string on the same bow, etc.Exploring this concept further, how does one "program" piano practice?
