Goal: 4 Rounds +For this workout you will cycle through the 20 - 5 - 10 - 20 - 5 - 10 as many times as possible in 15 Min!

For the jump/skip section you can do either single unders or a simple skip side to side over a chalk line or crack in the ground! If even the small skip is not ok for you at this time you can sub a low step up! You can also choose to do taps!

For the burpees you may do regular, knee push up burpees, no push up burpees, or even an elevated burpee! Find what will allow you to do 5 in 30 seconds or less each time.

Make sure on the push up portion of the burpee that the hands aren't too wide and elbows go back instead of flaring out. Keep the belly tight to avoid a lot of worming or snaking!

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. Make sure the knees are bent, chest is up, arms are straight, and heels are down in the set up. Lift the chest and squeeze the butt to stand! Lower by reaching butt back and bending the knees while you keep the belly tight and chest up!

For the upright rows you will either have a single DB/KB in both hands or a pair of pretty light dumbbells (one in each hand). The weight will start held at the waist with you standing tall. Shrug the shoulders up - keep shoulder blades pulled back - then pull the elbows high and outside to bring the weight up the body. This should look like you are zipping up your jacket. Elbows should stay back! Make sure not to let the shoulders and elbows roll forward. Bring to chest height. Lower under control.

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

Double/Single Unders - To avoid the added pressure to the pelvic floor that DUs/SUs can create, sub: Taps, Row, Bike, Quick Step Ups, Calf Raises. 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 number of DUs/SUs down to a number that is realistic for your to practice proper positioning and pressure. Any leaking or heaviness in the pelvic floor is a sign that you need to adapt your approach or change the movement to less impact.

BURPEES - 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 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 its 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.

UPRIGHT ROWS - Love this movement for Mamas! But if your belly is getting in the way of the high pull or row feel free to sub a KB Swing or a Deadlift + KB Swing
