SHIFT WORKOUT

Street Parking Vault: SHIFT "VEINTE"

15 Min AMRAP
(As Many Rounds and Reps as Possible in 15 Min)


20 Alternating Lunges
20 Skip Overs / Single Unders
10 Push Ups
20 Skip Overs / Single Unders

No weight needed today!

Score: Total Number of Completed Rounds + any Additional Reps

Goal: 6 Rounds +

For this workout, you will start with 20 alternating lunges, followed by 20 skip overs or single unders, 10 push-ups, and another 20 skip overs or single unders until 15 minutes are up!

The lunges should be unweighted and alternating. This means you end up doing 10 per leg per round. These may be forward stepping, reverse stepping, or walking lunges. Make sure you take a long enough step each time that the front heel stays down, with the knee out, when the back knee lightly touches (or comes close). Keep the chest up and drive through the heel to stand completely between reps.

If you are unable to lunge you may swap out alternating step ups.

For the skip overs /single unders, you will do 40 per round - 20 after the lunges and another 20 after the push-ups! You may swap out taps or plate hops/skips or you may also choose to do low step ups if jumping or skipping is not an option.

For the push ups you may do regular push ups, knee push ups, or even elevated push ups. Choose a type of push up that you can't just bust out 10 reps. It's ok if you need to break them up a bit.

Make sure the elbows go back and that the hands are just wider than the shoulders. No flaring elbows. Keep the belly tight and avoid worming or snaking. Go all of the way down to touch the chest at the bottom, come all of the way up at the top.

You may also sub floor press for the push-ups!

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

REVERSE LUNGE - If you have any pubic symphysis pain or SPD focus on keeping your pelvis neutral and your hips level. You could always do lighter weight, smaller step/less range of motion, or step up or forward instead of step back in the lunge lunge. You can also try stepping laterally onto a stack of plates or something instead of stepping back or up, sometimes this helps create some control in managing the position of the pelvis. Feel free to sub a squat or goblet squat for the lunges.

RUN/JOG - To avoid the added pressure to the pelvic floor that the impact from running can create, sub: Taps, Row, Bike, Farmer Carry, Sled Push/Drag, Quick Step Ups. If you're postpartum and working towards rehab-ing your core and pelvic floor you can choose from the same subs for pregnancy and/or scaling the distance that you run so that you can focus on your posture, breathing mechanics, and managing the pressure of your or and pelvic floor.

PUSH UPS - If you notice coning/doming in the plank position or if you find yourself straining to breathe or bearing down forcefully into your belly or pelvic floor, sub an elevated push up with hands on box, bench, wall, table, etc. or sub floor press, or bench press.

DOUBLE/SINGLE UNDERS - To avoid the added pressure to the pelvic floor that DUs/SUs can create, sub: Taps, Row, Bike, Quick Step Ups, Calf Raises. If you're postpartum and working towards rehab-ing your core and pelvic floor you can choose from the same subs for pregnancy and/or try scaling the number of DUs/SUs down to a number that is realistic for you to practice proper positioning and managing pressure. Any leaking or heaviness in the pelvic floor is a sign that you need to adapt your approach or change the movement to less impact.
