For the dumbbell clean and press you hold the dumbbells at the hips. Do a small dip - shrug the shoulders then pull the dumbbells up to the shoulders. From there you will press the dumbbells overhead.

Other options if you don't have the right dumbbells are a 2 hand kb clean and press. Or you can do this movement with a medicine ball!

For the burpees - you may choose from a regular burpee with either a step back - or jump back. You can go to the knees for the push up portion if you do this. Or if needed, you can take out the push up completely for a no push up burpee.

HANG CLEAN - You could also try less weight. For pregnant mamas with bellies that interrupt the most efficient path of the bar, be sure to sub DBs for the bar so you are not training inefficient movement patterns.

JERK/PRESS - Focus on proper alignment of your pelvis and spine. If you find yourself over extending in your back or coning in your belly sub less weight, Strict Press, Seated Strict Press, or even Front Raises.

BURPEES - If you are managing diastasis in pregnancy or early postpartum and notice and coning in the plank position of the burpee feel free to sub an Elevated Burpee (hands on box, step or hop feet back, modified/elevated push up, step/hop feet forward). You can also sub: No push up 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
