COACHES NOTES
This workout is 4 rounds but you get a nice 3 minute break in the middle of it. Shoot for 3:00-4:00 per round. Choose a load on the renegade rows that you can complete 15 reps in at most 3 sets the whole way through. Because you get a nice long break in the middle, try to really push the pace on the runs!
PUSH UP + RENEGADE ROW
Each rep will be push up + row right + row left.
For the push up we want to see a rigid body position. No sagging hips or snaking. You will keep the belly tight. Hands are on the dumbbells. Go to the knees if you need to.
Chest and thighs touch the ground at the bottom. Lock out completely at the top.
For the rows you will stay in the plank/top of the push up. You will row one dumbbell to the rib cage by pulling the elbow back. Try to avoid rotating very much. Pull the dumbbell all of the way up for each rep then lower under control.

COACHES NOTES
This workout is 4 rounds but you get a nice 3 minute break in the middle of it. Shoot for 3:00-4:15 per round.

Keep your elbows within 45 degrees to the body as you lower your chest and thighs to make contact with the floor. Stay engaged. Press back up to the the top until arms are totally straight.

Pull your body up to make chest contact with the bar and lower back to straight arms.

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.
