Goal: Under 17 Min

For this workout you will do 20 single unders, 8 single-arm bent over rows on both sides, then 8 plank shoulder taps for 10 rounds total.

For the single unders / taps / low step-ups you will do 20 per round!

For the single arm bent over rows you will lean over against the wall, on a bench, the back of the couch - whatever. Hold a single dumbbell/kb in one hand and let it hang from the shoulder, but pull the shoulder back. Then with the chest lifted - pull the weight to the rib cage area with the elbow going back. This isn't meant to be done fast and jerky. Control the up and then show control as you lower down.

For the Plank Shoulder Taps, you will start in the top of the push-up position then you will bring your right hand to your left shoulder, then take your left hand to touch your right shoulder. Try to not let the hips rotate, or allow the butt to pop up when you lift your hand up. You can do the taps on your toes, knees, or even elevated!

The Plank Shoulder Tap is 1 tap right shoulder + tap left shoulder =  1 rep.

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.

NO PUSH UP RENEGADE ROW - If you notice coning in the plank position you may want to do an elevated (i.e.hands on box or bench) renegade row. Or sub a traditional DB Bent Over Row. If you are later in your pregnancy or in the rehab phase of postpartum you may want to train with intention and sub any of the Functional Progressions. You could also sub Bear Pose DB Drag, Windmill, Bandeed Woodchop, Overhead Plate Hold, Waiter Walks, or Farmer Carry/March, or landmine press.
