Hi Reg Braithwaite
Watch it, but don't forget to study it, i could do it for many ours, 4 variation are:
without metronome: strictly for warm up phase like i show in the video, pay attention to intonation

with metronome:
pizzicato and its variation: forthy,douplets,triplets...
arco and its variations: bow position and moviments
shifting: like i show in the video, or one half position at a time

Many Tanks
