COACHES NOTES
For this workout, you'll perform 7 hang snatches on both arms, followed by 14 jumps, and then move continuously for 1 minute. That's one round. Repeat 4 more times for a total of 5 rounds.

Each round should take 2-3 minutes. Since one of those minutes is tied up with the jog/run (or whatever movement you choose), you're looking at 1-2 minutes for the snatches and jumps. Choose a weight that allows you to do the snatches in 1-2 sets for all 5 rounds. Find an object to jump over that you are absolutely confident with - even if it's just a line in the floor. Practice an efficient turn around so that you can get those done in 30-45 seconds!

HANG POWER SNATCH
You will bring the dumbbell to the waist. Hinge forward slightly while keeping the chest up and belly tight. Keep the heels down and knees out - arm straight. Stand up hard and fast - shrug the shoulder - punch the working elbow out to the side to keep the dumbbell close to the body as it travels UP! From here you will either punch to lockout or punch to lockout WHILE punching yourself UNDER slightly. Get the bicep by the ear and stand completely with it still there to complete the rep!

Lower back to the waist and repeat until 9 reps are done. You will then switch to the other arm and do the same thing.

If you're struggling with this movement, you can do an eye-level DB/KB swing!

CUSTOMIZATIONS
Eye Level KB/DB Swing

LOW JUMP
Choose a height that you are comfortable with. Make sure when you jump and when you land that the knees do not cave in! Stand all the way up on your plates or box. You may also sub step ups or lunges. Or, if you don't have something to jump ON - find something to jump OVER!

CUSTOMIZATIONS
Lower Height
Alternating Step Ups or Lunges

- OR -

KB/DB JUMP OVER
You will stand facing the DB/KB and jump over it. Then you will turn around and jump back over the object. 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
KB/DB Skip Over
Line Jump/Skip Over

1 MINUTE 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 1 minute is complete. You may change which movement you pick from round to round.

The goal is to move for the entire minute each time at a consistent but uncomfortable pace!

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

DB Snatch

You can always choose a lighter weight or go from the hang position. If you're not comfortable going over head right now or find that you are coning during the movement sub KB SWINGS.

Box Jump

This is going to be all about managing the impact and pressure to your core and pelvic floor. If you feel any heaviness or pain in the pelvic floor or surrounding areas (i.e. tailbone, lower back, pubic symphysis) or if you notice symptoms like leaking pee, please consider adapting your approach or modifying the movement. The SHIFT options for smaller Jump/Skip Overs are good for helping you achieve the stimulus with a little less impact. You can ALWAYS substitute Step Ups if you want zero impact or even KB Swings if you want to get a little more explosive with your hips. For pregnant mamas, please remember that if you are unsure if you can complete the movement because of balance, strength, or coordination it may not be worth the risk of potentially falling or busting up your shins! For mamas further along in their Postpartum you can try a lower height of box to practice that two foot take off and landing without the extra impact. Focus on your breath and posture throughout the movement and do less reps if that helps you concentrate on good technique and awareness in your body.

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.
