COACHES NOTES
The way this one works is you’ll cycle through 15 air squats, 12 deadlifts, and 9 push ups for 7 (SEVEN) minutes, completing as many rounds and reps as you can. Then you’ll rest for 1 minute. After your rest, you’ll cycle through 12 goblet squats, 9 hang power cleans, and 6 presses for 5 (FIVE) minutes!

AIR SQUAT
For the air squats, you will have the feet shoulder width apart with the heels down. Lift the chest and tighten the belly. Reach the butt back and down as you drive the knees out. Ideally, you will get your butt lower than your knees at the bottom with the chest up and belly still tight! Drive through the heels and drive the knees out to stand completely.

If you have a tendency to collapse at the bottom, you may try using a counter balance. If you have pain or issue in the bottom from current or past injury or issue - you may choose to squat to a slightly higher target. Still focus on heels down, knees out, chest up!

CUSTOMIZATIONS
Squat to Target
Assisted Squat

DB/KB DEADLIFT
For the deadlifts you will either have a single KB/DB between the feet or a pair of lighter dumbbells on the outsides of the feet. Feet are under the hips. Heels are down. Hips and knees are bent. Arms are straight. Chest is up. Belly tight. Back flat! To lift the DB(s) drive your heels into the ground and lift your chest. Keep arms straight, chest up and belly tight as you stand all the way up at the top.

To lower - send your butt back. Keep your chest lifted and belly tight. Keep those heels down. Once the DB(s) goes below your knees, re-bend them and bring the DB(s) back to the starting position under control.

PUSH UP
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 8 reps. It's ok if you need to break them up a bit.

Start in the plank position with the hands just wider than shoulders and butt and thighs squeezed tight. Make sure the elbows go back - 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. Press through the heels of your palms to come all of the way up at the top.

CUSTOMIZATIONS
Knee Push Up
Elevated Push Up

GOBLET SQUAT
For the Goblet Squat, 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 a good position. Or if injury/issue prevents this depth, you may squat to a slightly higher target!

DB/KB HANG POWER CLEAN
For the dumbbell hang power clean, you can hold a single dumbbell in both hands at your hips or hold a dumbbell in each hand at the sides. Do a small dip - jump and shrug the shoulders then pull the dumbbell(s) up to the shoulders. The idea here is to think about jumping and then pulling/guiding the dumbbell(s) to your shoulders. Try to not just do bicep curls!

CUSTOMIZATIONS
Single DB Hang Power Clean

OVERHEAD PRESS
For the overhead press, you can use two DBs on the shoulders or one DB/KB at the chest. 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
Single DB Strict Press

KB/DB Deadlift

If you're pregnant and the shape of your belly is making reaching the floor difficult or if you're postpartum and managing core rehab through practice of proper posture, sub: Sumo Stance KB/DB Deadlift or elevate the DBs/KB so it's not so low to the ground when you pick it up. If you are working on healing any pelvic floor dysfunction make sure you are able to breathe properly throughout the entire range of motion and that you are not bracing or bearing down.

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.

Push Up

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.

Power Clean

You could try less weight, going from the hang position or starting with the dumbbells between your feet. For pregnant mamas with bellies that interrupt the most efficient path of the bar, be sure to sub DBs for the bar so you are not training inefficient movement patterns.

Overhead Press

Focus on proper alignment of your pelvis and spine. If you find yourself over extending in your back or coning in your belly sub less weight, Strict Press, Seated Strict Press, or even Front Raises.
