COACHES NOTES
For this workout, you'll cycle through 20 singles or taps, 10 rows, another 20 singles or taps, and 10 swings as many times as you can until 10 minutes are up!
Each set of the 20 single unders or taps should take no more than 30 seconds. If they are taking much longer than that, consider customizing the movement or reducing the reps! Find a body angle for the rows that will challenge you but that you can always do at least 3 reps of at a time. Choose a weight for the swings that you can do unbroken for most if not the whole workout!
SINGLE UNDERS / TAPS
If you choose single unders, you'll jump or skip over the jump rope once every time it rotates over your head.
If you choose taps, you'll alternate tapping your toes to a DB. Each tap is 1 rep.
You may also choose to do low step ups if jumping or skipping is not an option.
CUSTOMIZATIONS
Quick Step Ups
INVERTED 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 arm)
EYE LEVEL KETTLEBELL 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
Eye Level Dumbbell Swing
Single KB/DB Deadlift
Double/Single Unders
If you're trying to manage the pressure on your pelvic floor, you can start by simply doing something different with the way you’re breathing or how you’re holding tension in your body throughout the movement. Check out the SP Mamas Resources blog post on Urinary Leakage with Exercise Troubleshooting for more strategies. Some other options for customizing are Taps, Row, Bike, Quick Step Ups, One Legged Plank Rock, High Knee Step Up Overs, or Calf Raises. Please visit the Mama Modifications Movement Library for more options and demonstrations.
Pull Ups
If you’re trying to manage the pressure on your core and pelvic floor during this movement, you can start by simply doing something different with the way you’re breathing or how you’re holding tension in your body. If you feel like you need or want to customize further but still want to practice, you can try fewer reps or using a band or jumping pull up for assistance. Some other options for customizing are Barbell Pull Ups, Banded Lat Pull Downs, or Bent Over Rows. Please visit the Mama Modifications Movement Library for more options and demonstrations.
Jump/Skip/Hop Overs
If you're trying to manage the pressure on your pelvic floor, you can start by simply doing something different with the way you’re breathing or how you’re holding tension in your body throughout the movement. Check out the SP Mamas Resources blog post on Urinary Leakage with Exercise Troubleshooting for more strategies. Some other options for customizing are Taps, Row, Bike, Quick Step Ups, One Legged Plank Rock, High Knee Step Up Overs, or Calf Raises.

KB Swing
If you're trying to manage the pressure on your core and pelvic floor, you can start by simply doing something different with the way you’re breathing or how you’re holding tension in your body throughout the movement. If you feel like you need or want to customize further you can minimize some the demand by shortening the range of motion to an eye level swing or using a lighter weight. Some other options for customizing are single arm swings, KB Deadlift, or Sumo Stance Deadlift. Please visit the Mama Modifications Movement Library for more options and demonstrations.
