For this workout, you will go through the 15 deadlifts, 5 burpees, and 10 ring rows for 12 minutes.
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 burpees you may do regular, knee push up burpees, no push up burpees, or even an elevated burpee!
If you are doing the TRX/Ring/Bar in Rack option - just remember that the more parallel your body is to the ground - the more difficult these become. Since it's only 5 at a time - challenge yourself! Make sure you start with straight arms at the bottom - keep the body rigid and belly tight - and pull all of the way to your chest at the top.
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.
KB/DB DEADLIFT - If pregnant and the shape of your belly is creating a change in the efficiency and safety of the bar path or postpartum and managing core rehab through practice of proper posture, sub: Sumo Stance KB/DB Deadlift. 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.
BURPEES - Pay attention to any coning or doming you have in the plank position of the burpee or any sensation of pressure on your pelvic floor as you hop back or hop forward. Feel free to sub: 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
PULL UPS - For managing the pressure of the core and pelvic floor during Early Pregnancy or later on in the Rebuilding stages of PP sub: strict pull ups or banded pull ups. To avoid any coning in the belly during 2nd/3rd Trimester or Rehab stage of PP, while hanging from the bar sub: Ring Rows, Bent Over Rows, Banded Lat Pull Downs, BIRTHFIT Banded Woodchop, Banded Lat Pull Downs, DB/KB Front Raises. Kipping Pull Ups should only be added back into the later stages of Rebuilding in PP once the rehab is complete and athlete shows proficiency in strict movements.
