Post weight used for Good Mornings.

Rest as little as possible between sets.

For the good mornings, the bar will be on your back. Tighten the belly and push the chest up. Bend at the waist by reaching the hips back. Knees may soften, but for the most part stay straight. If you can maintain a good back position - go to 90 degrees. If not, just go as low as your strength and flexibility will allow.

Squeeze your butt to stand up.

For the split squats, back leg will be slightly elevated. You will hold a dumbbell in each hand and will lower until the knee kisses the ground. Drive through the front heel to stand.

Be careful of rolling forward onto the toe or allowing the knee to cave in. Do all of these reps under control.


Guts
8 Min:
Max Plank Hold

Every time you come down - complete 8 Love Taps

Plank should be on the toes and the elbows. Do not allow yourself to sag. If you start to sag - come down and do the love taps! Goal is to either be holding or tapping the entire 8 min!

Every "tap" counts as a rep. Fight to keep the legs straight.

You will sit on the ground and lift the legs (straight) up and over the object. Do not DROP the heels to the ground once you are over. Lower them under control and just "tap"!

GOOD MORNINGS - This can be such a great movement for mamas! Focus on good posture, breathing mechanics, and midline stability. Feel free to use a band, lighter weight, or no weight at all.

SPLIT SQUATS - If you have any pubic symphysis pain or SPD focus on keeping your pelvis neutral and your hips level. You could always do lighter weight, lower the height for the back leg or modify to a squat, hip thrust, glute bridge. If you can perform the movement pain free but having a hard time with the balance (especially preggo mamas who have a challenge with changing center of gravity!) feel free to keep both feet on the ground for a regular lunge or a split stance Romanian Deadlift.

PLANK HOLD - Pay attention to any coning or doming in your belly. You can always modify with an Elevated Plank Hold, Bear Hold, or Overhead Plate Hold. You could also do a timed set or certain number of reps/distance of Waiter Walks, Farmer Carry/March, or Bear Crawl. See the Mama Modifications Movement Library for demos.
