COACHES NOTES
For this workout, you'll cycle through 4 burpees, 8 squat & press, and 12 swings until 10 minutes are up!
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
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
Squat to Target
Single Dumbbell Squat + Press
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
Single KB/DB Deadlift
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
Thruster/Wallball
To focus on managing proper posture, breathing mechanics, core pressurization, and/or joint stability, sub: DB/WB Thruster, Lower Target Wall Ball Toss, Box/Target Supported Squat for Wall Ball, DB Goblet Squat + Press, or Air Squat
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!
