COACHES NOTES
You're aiming to finish each round in 2 minutes or so. But keep in mind that 1 minute of each round is already dedicated to the continuous movement (jog/run, etc) so choose a weight for the goblet squat + press that allows you to get those 8 reps done in 30 seconds or less. Find a pace on the burpees or customize them to finish those reps in 45 seconds or less!
30 SECONDS OF CONTINUOUS MOVEMENT
You will choose from a jog/run, row, bike, taps, single unders (jump rope), or low step ups. Whichever you pick, you will perform until 30 seconds are complete. You may change which movement you pick from round to round.
The goal is to move for the entire 30 seconds each time at a consistent but uncomfortable pace!
Each 30 second effort is worth 2 reps - 1 rep for reaching halfway and 1 rep for completion!
SQUAT + PRESS
You will hold the weight at the chest/shoulders. Feet are shoulder width apart with the heels down. Lift the chest and tighten the belly. Reach the butt back and down. Keep the heels down as you drive the knees out. Ideally you will get the butt lower than the knees at the bottom with heels down, knees out, and chest up! Drive through the heels to stand!
If you need to - you can do these with no weight in order to get all of the way down and keep good position. Or if injury/issue prevents this you may squat to a slightly higher target!
For the Press portion, after you've stood out of the squat, focus on keeping the rib cage down as you go to press up. Press the object until it's completely locked out overhead with the biceps by the ears! Then bring the dumbbells all the way down to the shoulders each time.
CUSTOMIZATIONS
Goblet Squat to Target + Press
8 Air Squats + 8 Presses
Air Squat to Target
BURPEE
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.
CUSTOMIZATIONS
Step In/Out Burpee
No Push Up Burpee
Elevated Burpee
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.
Man Makers
If you feel a lot of pressure in your belly or pelvic floor in the plank position or hopping forward/back, you can step back/forward to a table top or low bear pose or skip the plank/push up. You can also use less weight in the row. If you have to modify the movement too much you may want to sub KB Swings, Sled Push/Pull, Farmer Carry, or Ball Slams so that you can keep moving and keep the heart rate up!
Devil Press
If you feel a lot of pressure in your belly or pelvic floor in the plank position or hopping forward/back, you can step back/forward to a table top or low bear pose or skip the plank/push up. You can also use less weight. If you have to modify the movement too much you may want to sub KB Swings, Sled Push/Pull, Farmer Carry, Thrusters, Wall Balls or Ball Slams so that you can keep moving and keep the heart rate up!
DB/Back/Front/Air Squat
If you have a hard time maintaining control and a stable midline in the bottom of the squat or if you find yourself bearing down to get out of the bottom, try subbing a target or assisted squat to shorten the range of motion. A box squat is always a great idea especially during pregnancy to strengthen the posterior chain and balance out the growing belly.
Burpee
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
