I also don't see any meaningful applications for 2, 3 and 5.
For health, all training will give you the same health result. For application, some make sense, some don't.
Will you tell your students that all 6 ways are valid? Your students may ask you which way is invalid. What's your explanation to them?

You're not wrong - it's a good observation - her lower body doesn't appear well integrated with her upper body although conceptually she seems to understand the idea
