PROGRAM A
WARM UP
Running Warm Up
Box Jump Warm Up
WORKOUT
5 Rounds
Run 200 Meters
10 Double Dumbbell Snatch
8 Burpee Box Jumps
Rest 1 Min
RX Men: 40# DBs
RX Women: 25# DBs
RX + Men/Women: 15 Double Dumbbell Snatch, 10 Burpee Box Jumps
Score: Each round it's own time
Goal: Under 4:00 Per Round (Not Including Rest)
The run distance should take you roughly 45 seconds to 1:15 depending on your running ability.
If you are unable to run for space or weather reasons you may sub 1 min of double or single unders (probably don't do this if you did all of the doubles yesterday) OR 1 Min Mountain climbers!
The double dumbbell snatch is just that. You will have a dumbbell in each hand between the feet. Keep the chest up and weight in the heels. Bend the knees slightly and hinge at the hips. Arms are long and straight. Stand with the dumbbells by driving the heels into the ground and lifting the chest. Keep the back flat. Once past the knees you will almost jump. Shrug the shoulders and allow the momentum to bring the dumbbells up as you guide them in a partial swing, but not allowing them to get too far away motion. Finish with a press to lockout with the biceps by the ears and the belly tight.
When lowering the dumbbells DO NOT GET SLOPPY! Keep the heels down and keep the back flat. Lower under control back to the ground.
Only one head of each dumbbell must touch the ground at the bottom of every rep.
For the burpee box jumps you will face your box and perform a burpee. You will place your hands on the ground, jump or step the feet back, get the chest and thighs to the ground, jump or step the feet back in and then jump from both feet onto your box.
We would love to see you actually jump if possible so if you need to lower the height - DO THAT!
If you are unable to jump for some reason, or aren't ready to yet - you may do a step up. Make sure to alternate feet with each rep.
If you don't have something sturdy to jump on, find something to jump OVER!
PROGRAM B
WARM UP
Running Warm Up
Box Jump Warm Up
WORKOUT
5 Rounds
Run 200 Meters
10 Power Snatch
8 Burpee Box Jumps
Rest 1 Min
RX Men: 75#
RX Women: 55#
RX + Men/Women: 15 Power Snatch, 10 Burpee Box Jumps
Score: Each round it's own time
Goal: Under 4:00 Per Round (Not Including Rest)
The run distance for the workout should take you roughly 45 Seconds to 1:15 based on how good of a runner you are.
If you are unable to run for space or weather reasons, you may sub 1 min of mtn climbers or jump ropes! (Skip the jump rope if you did them yesterday).
The power snatch will start on the ground with a wide (overhead squat) grip. You will have your heels down, the bar close to the body and the chest up. Hinge at the hip and bend the knee - but don't get too squatty. Keep the chest over the bar.
To lift the bar you will drive the heels down and lift the chest. Keep the bar close to the body. Once past the knees you will pick up speed and jump straight UP with the bar. Do not allow the bar to swing OUT. Shrug the shoulders and allow the bar to start to travel UP the body (instead of away) by bringing the elbows high and outside (like a scarecrow). As the bar goes up you will pull yourself down and underneath it into a partial overhead squat. Press to lockout in this position. Heels down, knees out, chest up, armpits forward, arms locked, with the bar over the middle of the body. Stand to finish.
If you did the bent over row version of Monday's workout and want to sub hang power snatches today because you are sore - go for it!
For the burpee box jumps you will face your box and perform a burpee. You will place your hands on the ground, jump or step the feet back, get the chest and thighs to the ground, jump or step the feet back in and then jump from both feet onto your box.

RUN/JOG - To 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. 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.
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 you might want to try KB Swings.
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
BOX JUMP/JUMP/SKIP OVERS - This is going to be all about managing the impact and pressure to your core and pelvic floor. 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.
BURPEE BOX JUMP OVER - Use the subs above for ideas on how to modify BUT if the movement is too complicated feel free to separate it into two different pieces like Elevated Push Ups and Step Ups or sub something else that serves your Pregnancy or Postpartum Goals! KB SWING - If you notice and coning or pulling in the overhead position of the swing, sub shoulder height or eye level swings and focus on posture and breathing mechanics. If the shape of your body (preggo bellies!) is making the bottom position a little too tight for comfort, you can sub a single arm swing!
