8 Rounds

10 Alternating, Unweighted Step Ups
5 Burpees

No weight needed today!

Score: Total Time

Goal: 12 Min or Less

For this workout, you'll complete 10 step ups followed by 5 burpees then repeat 7 more times for a total of 8 rounds!

To hit the goal, you're shooting for each round to take 1:30 or less. If you're exceeding this length of time early on in the workout, consider customizing the burpees or reducing each movement by 1-2 reps!

For the step ups, you will choose a height that will challenge you, but that you feel comfortable stepping up and down from. If possible, this should be at least 12"+.

Make sure to put your WHOLE foot on the step each time. Don't allow the knee to cave in. Drive out of the heel to stand completely. Lower under control and switch feet. For each set of 10 you will do 5 per leg.

Burpees start standing. Place your hands on the ground. Jump or step your feet back. Get your chest and thighs to the ground. Press to lockout (top of push up). Jump or step the feet in. Jump up and clap with arms overhead!

You can also sub to "no-push-up" burpees or even do them with your hands elevated on a bench or box if you need to.

DB STEP UPS/STEP UPS - 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 or shorter step/less range of motion. You can also try stepping laterally onto a stack of plates or something instead of stepping forward and up, sometimes this helps create some control in managing the position of the pelvis. Option to sub: Single Leg Glute Bridge, Hip Thrusts, Air Squat, Goblet/DB Squat

BURPEES - Pay attention to any coning or doming you have in the plank position of the burpee or any sensation of pressure on your pelvic floor as you hop back or hop forward. Feel free to sub: No push up burpee, Elevated burpee, Step back/forward burpee, Air Squat + Elevated Push Up, Table Top (all fours position) + Air Squat, Ball Slams, KB Swings, Farmer/Goblet march, Glute Bridges, Sumo Deadlift High Pull
