Score: Total Time

Goal: 20-27 Min

COACHES NOTES
To hit the goal, you'll need to maintain a pace of 4-5 minute rounds. The run is going to feel more challenging after the 20 squats. Use the first 100m each time as a bit of a shake out, then pick up the pace and push it! Choose a weight on the presses that you can complete all the reps in 1-2 sets, or less than 30 seconds. Break up the bent over rows early to avoid going to failure later or getting sloppy and relying on the hips/jerking the chest up. They should be completed in :30-1:00 each time. The squats should be completed in 1:30 or less. Make sure with the load you selected, you can complete 20 reps in at most 3 sets. It may not seem obvious but this workout is very demanding on the core, so remember to keep your belly tight and your lats fired up!

ALTERNATING SHOULDER PRESS
Set up for the strict press with the DBs on the shoulders with elbows high. Keep the rib cage down and belly tight. Press one dumbbell straight up until your elbow is locked out with bicep by the ears. Bring the dumbbell all the way down to the shoulder then press with the other arm. Each time you press is one rep so 12 reps is 6 on each arm.

CUSTOMIZATION
Single DB held in both hands

BENT OVER ROW
Set up by deadlifting the dumbbells to just below the knee. From here, keeping the torso position set and the chest lifted - pull the elbows back and bring the dumbbells to just below the chest. Do not allow your shoulders to shrug. Keep them drawn down and away from the ears. Keep the belly tight. Bring the dumbbells back to just below the knee with the arms straight at the bottom. No kipping or pulling your CHEST down!

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

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.

Overhead Press

Focus on proper alignment of your pelvis and spine. If you find yourself over extending in your back or coning in your belly sub less weight, Strict Press, Seated Strict Press, or even Front Raises.

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.
