Score: Total Time

Goal: 9-15 Min

DOUBLE UNDERS
Your rope will pass two times under your feet for every one jump. Keep your chest up and your landing soft. It's just like a single under but you jump a little higher and spin the rope faster using your wrists, not your arms!

For this workout you will want to choose a type/number of double unders that will allow you to finish that part in less than :45 min each time.

CUSTOMIZATIONS
Lower Reps
Hop Overs
Single Unders (Double the Reps)

- OR -

DB HOP OVER
Stand next to one dumbbell and hop laterally over the narrow side, then hop back. Each hop is one rep.

Ideally this is 2 feet hopping and landing together, but if you need to do a little shuffle instead for your knees, go for it.

CUSTOMIZATIONS
Skip Overs
Line Hops

DUMBBELL SQUAT CLEAN
You will start with the dumbbells on the ground with the feet under the hips. Dumbbells are just outside of the feet. The hands are just outside of the legs. Hinge at the hips but keep the chest lifted and back flat. There should also be a bend in the knees, but not so much you are squatting. Arms are long and straight.

From here you will lift the weight by digging the heels into the ground as you lift the chest. Once past the knees you will pick up speed and jump and shrug the shoulders! Keep the dumbbells close to the body as they travel UP - try to avoid a massive bicep curl! Pull yourself down and under catching the dumbbells on the shoulders in the bottom of the squat with elbows high. Make sure the knees are out, heels are down, chest is up. Do not collapse in this position.

To stand, lead with the chest and elbows. Stand fully for each rep.

CUSTOMIZATIONS
Hang Squat Clean
Power Clean + Front Squat

Double/Single Unders

To manage or avoid the added pressure to the pelvic floor that DUs/SUs can create, sub: Taps, Row, Bike, Quick Step Ups, One Legged Plank Rock, High Knee Step Up Overs, or Calf Raises. 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 try scaling the number of DUs/SUs down to a number that is realistic for you to practice proper positioning and managing pressure. Any leaking or heaviness in the pelvic floor is a sign that you need to adapt your approach or change the movement to less impact.

Power Clean

You could try less weight, going from the hang position or starting with the dumbbells between your feet. 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.

DB/Back/Front/Air 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.
