PROGRAM A
WARM UP
Running Warm Up
Lower Body Dumbbell Warm Up
Pull Up Warm Up
WORKOUT
12 Min AMRAP
(As Many Rounds and Reps as Possible in 12 Min)
Run 200 Meters
24 Eye Level KB/DB Swings
12 Pull Ups
RX Men: 40-55# KB/DB
RX Women: 25-35# KB/DB
Strict Pull Up Option: 6-8 Strict Pull Ups Each Time
RX+: GO FASTER!
Score: Total Number of Completed Rounds + any Additional Reps
Goal: 4-6 Rounds
Set yourself up for 2-3 minute rounds on this one. The swings should take about a minute or so.
Choose a pull up variation you can complete 12 reps in no more than a minute, at most 3 sets.
For the 200m run, you're working with a minute or less. Shorten the distance as needed to fit the time window. If unable to run due to space or weather purposes - 1 min double/single unders, low step ups, Mtn Climbers or toe taps to a low target.
For the swings, we are going eye level today because there is a lot of overhead stuff this week.
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 up to about eye level. Allow gravity to bring it back down and back between the legs. Don't allow it to pull you forward. Keep those heels down!
For the pull ups you may do strict, kipping/butterfly or ring/trx row. You may also do a row with the bar in the rack OR do a bent over row if none of those other options are available. You may do banded pull ups but control the descent and be sure to avoid the bounce out of the bottom.
Whatever you choose make sure that you start all the way at the bottom and either get the chin over or pull the chest all the way up at the top!

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.
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.
KB SWING - If you notice and 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!
