For this workout you can choose what you would like to - or can do for the 1 min portion. Make sure you challenge yourself to an uncomfortable but sustainable pace.
For the goblet squat to press you will hold the object at the chest with the elbows tucked in and chest up. Feet are shoulder width apart with the heels down. Belly tight. Reach the butt back and down while driving the knees out. Keep lifting chest and lowering the butt back and down until the butt is lower than the knees at the bottom.
Avoid plopping or collapsing. Keep the chest up belly tight and knees out! Drive through the heels to stand.
If you find yourself plopping you may choose to lower the weight or ditch it completely. If you have any pain in that bottom position you may choose to squat to a target that is a bit higher. Make sure you are still focusing on reach the butt back and knees out.
For the rows you may do ring, banded, trx or swap out an upright row with your KB or DB!
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.
GOBLET SQUATS OR THRUSTERS - If you have a hard time maintaining control and a stable midline in the bottom of the squat or if you find yourself bearing down to get out of the bottom, try subbing a target or assisted squat to shorten the range of motion. A box squat is always a great idea especially during pregnancy to strengthen the posterior chain and balance out the growing belly.
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, 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.
