COACHES NOTES
Set your feet up in the TRX/ring row or choose a customization that will for you to get those 7 reps done in 20 seconds or less. Be mindful at the top of the KB/DB swing to not overextend your back. Stand tall and keep your butt, thighs, and belly squeezed tight as the KB/DB comes to eye level. Remember if you're intimidated by jumping over an object, you can hop over a line or even do a little skip over.
TRX/RING ROW
Grab the handles or rings and lie back until your elbows lock out completely. Just remember that the more parallel your body is to the ground - the more difficult these become. You can step forward to make them more challenging or backward to make them more accessible. Keep the body rigid and belly tight - and pull all of the way to your chest at the top. Keep your elbows close to your sides and lock them all the way out at the bottom each time.
If you don't have access to TRX or rings, swap these out for bent over rows or even single arm bent over rows!
CUSTOMIZATIONS
Single Arm Bent Over Row (7 each hand)
Upright Rows
EYE LEVEL KB/DB SWING
You will hold the weight with both hands at the waist. Feet are about shoulder width apart. Heels are down. Hinge forward at the hips and bend the knees slightly. Keep the chest lifted and heels down. Belly tight and arms straight. Push the weight back through the legs. Stand up HARD and FAST to make the KB/DB weightless and then (keeping the belly tight) guide the weight to eye level. Allow gravity to bring it back down and back between the legs. Don't allow it to pull you forward. Keep those heels down!
CUSTOMIZATIONS
KB/DB Deadlifts
DB HOP OR SKIP OVER
You will stand next to the DB/KB and jump over it laterally. You can scale to a line if you are intimidated to go over something. You can also sub a little skip over.
If jumping or skipping is out of the question, you can perform a low, alternating step up.
CUSTOMIZATIONS
Line Hop or Skip Over
Low Alternating Step Ups
Pull Ups
For managing the pressure of the core and pelvic floor during Early Pregnancy or later on in the Rebuilding stages of PP sub: strict pull ups or banded pull ups. To avoid any coning in the belly during 2nd/3rd Trimester or Rehab stage of PP, while hanging from the bar sub: Ring Rows, Bent Over Rows, Barbell Pull Ups Banded Lat Pull Downs, Banded Woodchop, Banded Lat Pull Downs, DB/KB Front Raises. Kipping Pull Ups should only be added back into the later stages of Rebuilding in PP once the rehab is complete and athlete shows proficiency in strict movements.
KB Swing
If you notice any coning or pulling in the overhead position of the swing, sub shoulder height or eye level swings and focus on posture and breathing mechanics. If the shape of your body (preggo bellies!) is making the bottom position a little too tight for comfort, you can sub an Outside KB Swing or a Single Arm Swing.
Jump/Skip/Hop Overs
To manage or avoid the added pressure to the pelvic floor that the impact from jumping and hopping can create, sub: Taps, Quick Step Ups, Skip Overs, Lateral Hop Overs, Lateral Skip Overs, Row, Bike, Farmer Carry, Sled Push/Drag.
Run/Jog
To manage or 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, High Knee Step Overs, Elevated 1 Legged Plank Rock.
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.
