COACHES NOTES
Alright, guys. This is a #sendit workout! We're talking MAX 4-6 minutes per round. Choose a wall ball variation that you can knock out 30 reps in no more than 3 sets. The air squats should be unbroken - even if at a slower pace. It's gonna be hard to run (LOL) but do your best!
WALL BALLS
Hold the ball at your chest with the elbows tucked in. Feet under the shoulders with heels down. Chest up and belly tight! Reach the butt back and down. Keep the heels down. Drive the knees out. Get the butt lower than the knees at the bottom. No plopping or rounding! Use the power from your legs to help throw the ball!
When you catch it. Catch first and then squat.
For the wall balls the ideal target height is roughly 9-10', but whatever you can make work is fine! If you have low ceilings or no ball you can sub lightweight thrusters. We prefer either a single heavy dumbbell (like the video) or 2 light dumbbells/bar.
CUSTOMIZATIONS
Lower Target Height
Single DB Thruster
AIR SQUAT
Set up with feet shoulder width apart. Reach your butt back and down, with heels down, drive your knees out and keep your chest up. Get your butt below your knees at the bottom and stand all the way up at the top of each rep.

COACHES NOTES
Alright, guys. This is a #sendit workout! We're talking MAX 4-6 minutes per round. The way it works is one partner will complete the 30 wall balls and at the same time, the other partner will complete the 40 air squats. Then when you're both done with your parts, you'll switch. So whoever was doing squats will do wall balls and vice versa. Once both of you are done with the second part, you'll run the 400m together and then rest 1 minute before starting the next round. You'll do that a total of 3 times!
Choose a wall ball variation that you can knock out 30 reps in no more than 3 sets. The air squats should be unbroken - even if at a slower pace. Try to make it work so that you and your partner are wrapping up your parts within 10-15 seconds of each other. It's gonna be hard to run but do your best!

CUSTOMIZATIONS
2 minutes of:
Double/Single Unders
Low Step Ups
Mountain Climbers
Toe Taps to a Low Target
Thruster/Wallball
To focus on managing proper posture, breathing mechanics, core pressurization, and/or joint stability, sub: DB/WB Thruster, Lower Target Wall Ball Toss, Box/Target Supported Squat for Wall Ball, DB Goblet Squat + Press, or Air Squat
Run/Jog
To manage or 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, High Knee Step Overs, Elevated 1 Legged Plank Rock.
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.
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.
