SHIFT WORKOUT

AMRAP 10 Min
(As Many Rounds and Reps As Possible in 10 Min)


14 Eye-Level KB/DB Swings
7 Push Up + Taps

Idea Weight for Men: 35-55# KB/DB
Idea Weight for Women: 12-25# KB/DB

Score: Total # of Completed Rounds + Any Additional Reps

Goal: 7+ Rounds

For this workout, you'll complete 14 swings followed by 7 push up + taps until 10 minutes are over!

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. Push the weight back through the legs. Stand up HARD and FAST to make the KB/DB weightless and then (keeping the belly tight) guide the weight to 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 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 10 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.

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

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!
