Goal: 4+ Rounds
For this workout, you'll choose one of the listed options and move for 1 minute before moving onto 8 push up+taps and then 16 no push up burpees until 15 minutes are up!
For the first part you will choose from a jog/run, row, bike, single unders (jump rope), or taps. If jumping or skipping is not an option, you can do low step ups!
For the push ups + taps you may do regular push ups, knee push ups, or even elevated push ups. Choose a type of push up that you can't just bust out 8 reps. It's ok if you need to break them up a bit.
Make sure the elbows go back and that the hands are just wider than the shoulders. No flaring elbows. Keep the belly tight and avoid worming or snaking. Go all of the way down to touch the chest at the bottom, come all of the way up at the top.
Once you are at the top of the push up, 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, Kees, or even elevated!
The Push Up + Taps is 1 push up + tap right shoulder + tap left shoulder = 1 rep.
For the No Push Up Burpees, plant your hands to the ground, jump or step your feet back to the top of the push up position then jump or step your feet back toward your hands before coming all the way up to standing. These should not take longer than 2 minutes so if you're having trouble finishing in time, modify by elevating your hands to a box or a wall!
RUN/JOG - To avoid the added pressure to the pelvic floor that the impact from running can create, sub: Taps, Row, Bike, Farmer Carry, Sled Push/Drag, Quick Step Ups. 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 distance that you run so that you can focus on your posture, breathing mechanics, and managing the pressure of your or and pelvic floor.
PUSH UP + RENEGADE ROW - If you notice coning/doming in the plank position or if you find yourself straining to breathe or bearing down forcefully into your belly or pelvic floor, sub an elevated push up with hands on box, bench, wall, table, etc. or sub floor press, or bench press. For the renegade rows you can try these from the knees or separate the movements and do elevated push ups and bent over rows. You might also want to use the SHIFT version of the movement with Push Up+Tap+Tap
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
