SHIFT WORKOUT

Street Parking Vault: SHIFT "TRECE"

6 Rounds

15 KB Swings
8 Burpees
15 Goblet Squats
8 Burpees

Idea weight for Men: Single 25-50# KB/DB
Idea weight for Women: Single 12-30# KB/DB

Score: Total Time

Goal: Under 20 Min

For this workout you will cycle through the 15 KB swings, 8 Burpees, 15 Goblet Squats, and 8 Burpees for 6 rounds total.

For the swings you will hold the weight with both hands at the waist. Feet are about shoulder width apart. Heels are down. Hinge forward at the hips and bend the knees slightly. Keep the chest lifted and heels down. Belly tight and arms straight. Pull the weight back through the legs. Stand up HARD and FAST to make the bell weightless and then (keeping the belly tight) guide the weight to shoulder height. Allow gravity to bring it back down and back between the legs. Don't allow it to pull you forward. Keep those heels down!

You can also use a single DB.

For the Goblet Squat you will hold the weight at the chest/shoulders. Feet are shoulder width apart with the heels down. Lift the chest and tighten the belly. Reach the butt back and down. Keep the heels down as you drive the knees out. Ideally you will get the butt lower than the knees at the bottom with heels down, knees out, and chest up! Drive through the heels to stand!

If you need to - you can do these with no weight in order to get all of the way down and keep good position. Or if injury/issue prevents this you may squat to a slightly higher target!

For the burpees you may do regular, knee push up burpees, no push up burpees, or even an elevated burpee!

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

SQUAT CLEAN - For pregnant mamas with bellies that interrupt the most efficient path of the bar, be sure to sub DBs for the bar so you are not training inefficient movement patterns. 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 squat or shorter range of motion.

GOBLET SQUAT - 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.

FRONT/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.

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

KB SWING - If you notice any coning or pulling in the overhead position of the swing, sub shoulder height or eye level swings and focus on posture and breathing mechanics. If the shape of your body (preggo bellies!) is making the bottom position a little too tight for comfort, you can sub a single arm swing!
