**When it comes to devil press you really DON'T need to go the RX+ weight. We would love to see you go faster than go heavier.

Score: Total Time Including Rest
Goal: < 24 min

I'll be honest, that 1 minute rest between rounds is a big tease. This combination of movements is going to spike your heart rate. Use that bit of rest time to slow your heart rate by taking progressively longer exhales.

Mountain climbers will begin in a plank position. Keep a straight line from your ankles through your knees, hips, shoulders and ears. Jump one foot in between your hands while the other one stays back. Then, quickly jump your front foot back as you jump your back foot forward.

If it feels more comfortable, you may also jump your foot outside your hands. No matter what, maintain that plank. Avoid piking your hips up in the air or letting them sag down toward the ground. Each time your foot comes up is 1 rep.

For the box jumps you will choose a box that is roughly 22-24in for men and 18-20in for women if you can! If that height is too much for you - go lower! Make sure when you jump and when you land that the knees do not cave in! Stand all of the way up on your box/bench.You may also sub step ups. Or, if you don't have something to jump ON - find something to jump OVER!

We would love to see you actually jump if possible! Even if you are jumping on a few stacked bumper plates or over your laundry basket!

A devil press is BASICALLY a burpee with dumbbells in your hands. You do a push up with hands on the dumbbells, jump or step the feet in. Pick the dumbbells up from between the feet with heels down and arms straight (keep the back flat!!). Use the power from the legs and the hips to basically complete a combination KB Swing - clean and jerk - snatch.

The movement finishes with the elbows locked and biceps by the ears! Control the lower and keep the back flat as you set up for the next rep!

The Plate Burpee starts standing with a plate on the floor in front of you. Hinge forward, bend your knees and plant your hands on the plate. Step or jump your feet back to a plank position and immediately lower knees and hips to the floor, chest to the plate. Press back up, step or jump your feet back in and stand up. As you stand you will take the plate with you and press it overhead. Keep the plate close to your body on the way up and keep your belly tight!

For the Burpee Sandbag Ground to Overhead the bag will start right in front of your feet. Plant your hands on the bag a bit wider than shoulder width apart. Step or jump your feet back to a plank position and lower your chest to the bag, knees/thighs to the floor. Press back up to straight arms and step or jump your feet back in. Grab hold of the overhand handles, bend your knees and lift your chest up. Keep the heels down. With your back flat and belly tight, stand up with the sandbag by driving through the heels and lifting the chest. Explode UP with the legs and hips. Shrug the shoulders. Pull the elbow high and outside. Then PUNCH the sandbag to lock out finishing with the biceps by the ear!

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS - Ball slams, Farmer carry march, Quick Step Ups, Standing cross body wallball throws, BIRTHFIT Bear Crawl, BIRTHFIT Functional Progression 3, or Elevated Mountain Climbers with Wide Knees

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.

DEVIL PRESS - If you feel a lot of pressure in your belly or pelvic floor in the plank position or hopping forward/back, you can step back/forward to a table top or low bear pose or skip the plank/push up. You can also use less weight. If you have to modify the movement too much you may want to sub KB Swings, Sled Push/Pull, Farmer Carry, or Ball Slams so that you can keep moving and keep the heart rate up!

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! 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
