STREET PARKING VAULT: SHIFT "DIECINUEVE"

4 Rounds

Each Round is a 3 Min AMRAP:
(As Many Rounds and Reps as Possible in 3 Min)


20 Single Unders, Skip Overs, Hop Overs, Taps
5 Hang DB Snatch Right
5 Hang DB Snatch Left
7 Goblet Squats

Rest 1 Min Between Each 3 Min AMRAP.

Idea weight for Men: Single 20-40# DB/KB
Idea weight for Women: Single 12-25# DB/KB

Score: Total Rounds from all 4 AMRAPS + any additional Reps

Goal: 12 Rounds + (3 Rounds+ Per AMRAP)

For this workout, you will perform 20 single unders, 5 hang DB snatch on your right arm, 5 hang DB snatch on your left arm, then 7 goblet squats for 3 minutes. When the clock hits 3 minutes, you'll rest for 1 minute and then repeat that cycle for a total of 4 rounds or 15 minutes.

For the single unders, you will do 20 per round! You may sub with skip overs, hops over, or taps. You may also choose to do low step ups if jumping or skipping is not an option.

For the Hang DB Snatches you will bring the dumbbell to the waist. You will hinge forward slightly while keeping the chest up and belly tight. Keep the heels down and knees out - arm straight. Stand up hard and fast - shrug the shoulder - punch the working elbow out to the side to keep the dumbbell close to the body as it travels UP! From here you will either punch to lockout or punch to lockout WHILE punching yourself UNDER slightly. Get the bicep by the ear and stand completely with it still there to complete the rep! Lower back to the waist and repeat until you've completed 5 reps on one side then switch to the other.

For the Goblet Squat you will hold the weight at the chest/shoulders. Feet are shoulder width apart with the heels down. Lift the chest and tighten the belly. Reach the butt back and down. Keep the heels down as you drive the knees out. Ideally you will get the butt lower than the knees at the bottom with heels down, knees out, and chest up! Drive through the heels to stand!

If you need to - you can do these with no weight or assisted in order to get all of the way down and keep good position. Or if injury/issue prevents this you may squat to a slightly higher target!

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

DOUBLE/SINGLE UNDERS - To avoid the added pressure to the pelvic floor that DUs/SUs can create, sub: Taps, Row, Bike, Quick Step Ups, 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.

DB SNATCH - You can always choose a lighter weight or go from the hang position. If you're not comfortable going over head right now or find that you are coning during the movement sub KB SWINGS.

WALL BALL - 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

SHIFT WORKOUT

8 Rounds

8 Alternating Goblet Lunges
8 Sit Ups

Rest 1 Minute after 8 Rounds, then:

35 Burpees

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

Score: Total Time (Including Rest & Burpees)

Goal: 17 Min or Less

For this workout, you'll perform 8 goblet lunges followed by 8 sit ups until you've completed 8 rounds then you'll rest for a full minute before doing 35 burpees!

For the Goblet Lunges, you will hold a single KB or DB at the chest/shoulders. You can also hold two DBs at your sides in the Farmers Carry position. These may be forward stepping, reverse stepping, or walking lunges. Make sure you take a long enough step each time that the front heel stays down, with the knee out, when the back knee lightly touches (or comes close). Keep the chest up and drive through the heel to stand completely between reps. If you are unable to touch your knee to the ground with the weight - ditch it and just go with bodyweight. If you are unable to lunge, you may swap out single-leg, alternating toe touches (like a single leg deadlift with no weight) - or alternating step ups.

For the sit ups, you'll start seated with your knees bent. You can do whatever you like with your feet - plant them in front of you or butterfly your knees out with the soles together. Lie back under control until your shoulder blades touch the ground then throw your arms forward to come all of the way up and touch your toes. If you need to add a little assistance like a stretchy band or rope attached to a pole to come all the way up - go for it!

No sit ups or crunching right now? You may try a dead bug, slam balls or an eye level KB Swing.

Burpees start standing. Place your hands on the ground. Jump or step your feet back. Get your chest and thighs to the ground. Press to lockout (top of push up). Jump or step the feet in. Jump up and clap with arms overhead!

You can also sub to "no-push-up" burpees or even do them with your hands elevated on a bench or box if you need to.

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

DEVIL LUNGE - If you feel a lot of pressure in your belly or pelvic floor in the plank position or hopping forward/back, you can step back/forward to a table top or low bear pose or skip the plank/push up. You can also use less weight. If you have any pubic symphysis pain or SPD focus on keeping your pelvis neutral and your hips level. You could always do lighter weight, smaller step/less range of motion, or step up or forward instead of step back in the lunge lunge. You can also try stepping laterally onto a stack of plates or something instead of stepping back or up, sometimes this helps create some control in managing the position of the pelvis. Feel free to sub a squat or goblet squat for the lunges. If you have to modify the movement too much you may want to sub KB Swings, Sled Push/Pull, Farmer Carry, Thrusters, Wall Balls or Ball Slams so that you can keep moving and keep the heart rate up!

TOES TO BAR - This movement and its scaled version of Knee Raises or V-Ups puts A LOT of pressure on the core and pelvic floor. Please consider risk vs. reward when deciding if this movement is right for you. If you feel confident with your core and pelvic floor health you can always try fewer reps to notice and manage any symptoms. You can also SUB: Functional Progressions (Choose any from 1-4), Ball Slams, KB Swings, Overhead Plate Hold/March, Pallof Press, Banded/Wallball Woodchop, Standing Cross Body Wallball Throws, Goblet Hold/Squat, or Waiter Walks. See MAMA MODS MOVEMENT LIBRARY FOR DEMOS.

SIT UPS - Sit ups are a really big demand for the core and pelvic floor and for the most part are not recommended during pregnancy and the rehab/rebuilding stages of postpartum. If you are ready to start incorporating them you can try less reps, less range of motion (i.e. with pillows behind you), or supported with a band. However you can always sub one of the following movements: Functional Progressions (Choose any from 1-4), Ball Slams, KB Swings, Overhead Plate Hold/March, Palloff Press, Banded/Wallball Woodchop, Standing Cross Body Wallball Throws, Goblet Hold/Squat, Waiter Walk (SEE MAMA MODS MOVEMENT LIBRARY FOR DEMOS)

SHIFT WORKOUT

6 Rounds

10 Hang Power Cleans
1 Min Jog/Run, Row, Bike, Taps, Single Unders, or Low Step Ups
10 Overhead Presses

Rest 30 seconds between rounds

Suggested Weight Range Men: 20-40# Single DB/KB - or - pair of lighter dumbbells
Suggested Weight Range Women: 12-30# Single DB/KB - or - pair of lighter dumbbells

Score: Total Time (Including Rest)

Goal: 15 Min or Less

The way this one works is you'll complete 10 hang power cleans, choose one of the listed movements to perform for 1 minute, then do 10 overhead presses. Then, you'll rest for 30 seconds before beginning the next round and you'll do that a total of 6 times.

For the dumbbell hang power clean, you can hold a single dumbbell at your hips or hold a dumbbell in each hand at the sides. Do a small dip - jump and shrug the shoulders then pull the dumbbell(s) up to the shoulders. The idea here is to think about jumping and then pulling/guiding the dumbbell(s) to your shoulders. Try to not just do bicep curls!

For the middle part you will choose from a jog/run, row, bike, taps, single unders (jump rope), or low step ups. Whichever you pick, you will perform until 1 minute is complete. You may change which movement you pick from round to round.

For the overhead press, you can use two DBs on the shoulders or one DB/KB at the chest. Focus on keeping the rib cage down as you go to press up. Press the object until it's completely locked out overhead with the biceps by the ears! Then bring the dumbbells all the way down to the shoulders each time.

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

HANG 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.

RUN/JOG - To 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. 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.

JERK/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.

8 TRX/Ring Rows
10 Alternating Unweighted Step Ups
12 Goblet Squats

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: 5+ Rounds

For this one, you'll cycle through 8 rows, 10 step ups, and 12 goblet squats until 12 minutes are up!

For the TRX/ring rows, grab the handles or rings and lie back until your elbows lock out completely. Just remember that the more parallel your body is to the ground - the more difficult these become. You can step forward to make them more challenging or backward to make them more accessible. Keep the body rigid and belly tight - and pull all of the way to your chest at the top. Keep your elbows close to your sides and lock them all the way out at the bottom each time.

For the step ups, you will choose a height that will challenge you, but that you feel comfortable stepping up and down from. If possible, this should be at least 12"+.

Make sure to put your WHOLE foot on the step each time. Don't allow the knee to cave in. Drive out of the heel to stand completely. Lower under control and switch feet. For each set of 10 you will do 5 per leg.

For the Goblet Squat, you will hold the weight at the chest/shoulders. Feet are shoulder width apart with the heels down. Lift the chest and tighten the belly. Reach the butt back and down. Keep the heels down as you drive the knees out. Ideally, you will get the butt lower than the knees at the bottom with heels down, knees out, and chest up! Drive through the heels to stand!

If you need to - you can do these with no weight in order to get all of the way down and keep a good position. Or if injury/issue prevents this depth, you may squat to a slightly higher target!

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

PULL UPS - For managing the pressure of the core and pelvic floor during Early Pregnancy or later on in the Rebuilding stages of PP sub: strict pull ups or banded pull ups. To avoid any coning in the belly during 2nd/3rd Trimester or Rehab stage of PP, while hanging from the bar sub: Ring Rows, Bent Over Rows, Banded Lat Pull Downs, Banded Woodchop, Banded Lat Pull Downs, DB/KB Front Raises. Kipping Pull Ups should only be added back into the later stages of Rebuilding in PP once the rehab is complete and athlete shows proficiency in strict movements.

BOX JUMP/JUMP/SKIP OVERS - This is going to be all about managing the impact and pressure to your core and pelvic floor. If you feel any heaviness or pain in the pelvic floor or surrounding areas (i.e. tailbone, lower back, pubic symphysis) or if you notice symptoms like leaking pee, please consider adapting your approach or modifying the movement. The SHIFT options for smaller Jump/Skip Overs are good for helping you achieve the stimulus with a little less impact. You can ALWAYS substitute Step Ups if you want zero impact or even KB Swings if you want to get a little more explosive with your hips. For pregnant mamas, please remember that if you are unsure if you can complete the movement because of balance, strength, or coordination it may not be worth the risk of potentially falling or busting up your shins! For mamas further along in their Postpartum you can try a lower height of box to practice that two foot take off and landing without the extra impact. Focus on your breath and posture throughout the movement and do less reps if that helps you concentrate on good technique and awareness in your body.

DB/GOBLET SQUATS - 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.

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!

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.

DB SNATCH - You can always choose a lighter weight or go from the hang position. If you're not comfortable going over head right now or find that you are coning during the movement sub KB SWINGS. Strengthen the posterior chain and balance out the growing belly.

DB STEP UPS/STEP UPS - If you have any pubic symphysis pain or SPD focus on keeping your pelvis neutral and your hips level. You could always do lighter weight, smaller or shorter step/less range of motion. You can also try stepping laterally onto a stack of plates or something instead of stepping forward and up, sometimes this helps create some control in managing the position of the pelvis. Option to sub: Single Leg Glute Bridge, Hip Thrusts, Air Squat, Goblet/DB Squat

5 Rounds

1 Min Jog/Run, Row, Bike, Taps, Single Unders, or Low Step Ups
10 Squat + Press
5 Inchworms

Suggested Weight Range Men: 20-40# Single DB/KB - or - pair of lighter dumbbells
Suggested Weight Range Women: 12-30# Single DB/KB - or - pair of lighter dumbbells

Score: Total Time

Goal: 15 Min or Less

For this workout, you'll perform 1 minute of movement, 10 squat + press, and 5 inchworms for a total of 5 rounds!

For the first part you will choose from a jog/run, row, bike, taps, single unders (jump rope), or low step ups. Whichever you pick, you will perform until 1 minute is complete. You may change which movement you pick from round to round.

For the Squat portion of the Squat + Press, you will hold the weight at the chest/shoulders. Feet are shoulder width apart with the heels down. Lift the chest and tighten the belly. Reach the butt back and down. Keep the heels down as you drive the knees out. Ideally you will get the butt lower than the knees at the bottom with heels down, knees out, and chest up! Drive through the heels to stand!

If you need to - you can do these with no weight in order to get all of the way down and keep good position. Or if injury/issue prevents this you may squat to a slightly higher target!

For the Press portion, after you've stood out of the squat, focus on keeping the rib cage down as you go to press up. Press the object until it's completely locked out overhead with the biceps by the ears! Then bring the dumbbells all the way down to the shoulders each time.

For the inchworms, you will place the hands on the ground in front of the feet. Walk them away from your hands until you are in a plank position. From here you will perform a push up by either going to your knees, or staying on your toes. Either way make sure that the elbows go back and that the hands are just wider than the shoulders. No flaring out! Keep the belly tight and avoid worming or snaking. Press back up to the top of the push up, then walk the hands back to the feet and stand. You can also take out the push up completely.

You may also sub a push up + 8 elevated shoulder taps in place of each rep.

RUN/JOG - To 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. 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.

FRONT/GOBLET SQUATS OR THRUSTERS - 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.

JERK/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.

WALLWALKS - Try to measure risk vs. reward when considering if you can/should perform this movement. If you are unable to maintain midline stability and solid breathing mechanics throughout the duration of the entire movement you may need to sub: Inchworms, Box/Pike Walk outs, Seated Shoulder Press, or Shoulder Taps

INCHWORMS - If you struggle with coning in the plank position or if this movement is uncomfortable with a growing belly, you can try subbing: Bear Pose Shoulder Taps, Bear Crawl, Elevated Shoulder Taps, Seated Alt Strict Press,or Kneeling Inchworms.

Score: Total # of Completed Rounds + Any Additional Reps

Goal: 6+ Rounds

For this workout, you'll cycle through 5 sit ups, 10 deadlifts, and 20 single unders or taps until 12 minutes are up!

For the sit ups, you'll start seated with your knees bent. You can do whatever you like with your feet - plant them in front of you or butterfly your knees out with the soles together. Lie back under control until your shoulder blades touch the ground then throw your arms forward to come all of the way up and touch your toes. If you need to add a little assistance like a stretchy band or rope attached to a pole to come all the way up - go for it!

No sit ups or crunching right now? You may try a dead bug or slam balls.

For the deadlifts you will either have a single KB/DB between the feet or a pair of lighter dumbbells on the outsides of the feet. For the deadlifts you will either have a single KB/DB between the feet or a pair of lighter dumbbells on the outsides of the feet. Feet are under the hips. Heels are down. Hips and knees are bent. Arms are straight. Chest is up. Belly tight. Back flat! To lift the DB(s) drive your heels into the ground and lift your chest. Keep arms straight, chest up and belly tight as you stand all the way up at the top.

To lower - send your butt back. Keep your chest lifted and belly tight. Keep those heels down. Once the DB(s) goes below your knees, re-bend them and bring the DB(s) back to the starting position under control.

If you choose single unders, you'll jump or skip over the jump rope once every time it rotates over your head.

If you choose taps, you'll alternate tapping your toes to a DB. Each tap is 1 rep.

You may also choose to do low step ups if jumping or skipping is not an option.

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

TOES TO BAR - This movement and its scaled version of Knee Raises or V-Ups puts A LOT of pressure on the core and pelvic floor. Please consider risk vs. reward when deciding if this movement is right for you. If you feel confident with your core and pelvic floor health you can always try fewer reps to notice and manage any symptoms. You can also SUB: Functional Progressions (Choose any from 1-4), Ball Slams, KB Swings, Overhead Plate Hold/March, Pallof Press, Banded/Wallball Woodchop, Standing Cross Body Wallball Throws, Goblet Hold/Squat, or Waiter Walks. See MAMA MODS MOVEMENT LIBRARY FOR DEMOS.

KB/DB DEADLIFT - If you’re pregnant and the shape of your belly is making reaching the floor difficult or if you're postpartum and managing core rehab through practice of proper posture, sub: Sumo Stance KB/DB Deadlift or elevate the DBs/KB so it’s not so low to the ground when you pick it up. If you are working on healing any pelvic floor dysfunction make sure you are able to breathe properly throughout the entire range of motion and that you are not bracing or bearing down.

DOUBLE/SINGLE UNDERS - To avoid the added pressure to the pelvic floor that DUs/SUs can create, sub: Taps, Row, Bike, Quick Step Ups, 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.

SIT UPS - Sit ups are a really big demand for the core and pelvic floor and for the most part are not recommended during pregnancy and the rehab/rebuilding stages of postpartum. If you are ready to start incorporating them you can try less reps, less range of motion (i.e. with pillows behind you), or supported with a band. However you can always sub one of the following movements: Functional Progressions (Choose any from 1-4), Ball Slams, KB Swings, Overhead Plate Hold/March, Palloff Press, Banded/Wallball Woodchop, Standing Cross Body Wallball Throws, Goblet Hold/Squat, Waiter Walk (SEE MAMA MODS MOVEMENT LIBRARY FOR DEMOS)

SHIFT WARM UP
SHIFT WORKOUT

8 Rounds

12 Eye-Level KB/DB Swings
8 Push Ups
12 Alternating, Unweighted Lunges

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

Score: Time

Goal: 15 Min or Less

The way this one goes is you'll perform 12 swings, followed by 8 push ups, then 12 lunges until 8 rounds are complete.

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 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 8 reps. It's ok if you need to break them up a bit.

Start in the plank position with the hands just wider than shoulders and butt and thighs squeezed tight. Make sure the elbows go back - 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. Press through the heels of your palms to come all of the way up at the top.

The lunges should be unweighted and alternating. This means you end up doing 6 per leg per round. These may be forward stepping, reverse stepping, or walking lunges.

Make sure you take a long enough step each time that the front heel stays down, with the knee out, when the back knee lightly touches (or comes close). Keep the chest up and drive through the heel of the front foot to stand completely between reps.

If you are unable to lunge, you may swap out single-leg, alternating toe touches (like a single leg deadlift with no weight) - or alternating step ups.

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!

PUSH UPS - If you notice coning/doming in the plank position or if you find yourself straining to breathe or bearing down forcefully into your belly or pelvic floor, sub an elevated push up with hands on box, bench, wall, table, etc. or sub floor press, or bench press.

LUNGE - If you have any pubic symphysis pain or SPD focus on keeping your pelvis neutral and your hips level. You could always do lighter weight, smaller step/less range of motion, or step up or forward instead of step back in the lunge lunge. You can also try stepping laterally onto a stack of plates or something instead of stepping back or up, sometimes this helps create some control in managing the position of the pelvis. Feel free to sub a squat or goblet squat for the lunges.

Rest 30 seconds between Rounds

No weight needed today!

Score: Total Time including Rest

Goal: 12 Min or Less

For this one you'll complete 1 round of 20 squats followed by 1 minute of movement then rest 30 seconds before repeating 4 more times for a total of 5 rounds.

Really push the pace on those air squats!! You get to rest before each set so don't hold back!

For these, you will have the feet shoulder width apart with the heels down. Lift the chest and tighten the belly. Reach the butt back and down as you drive the knees out. Ideally, you will get your butt lower than your knees at the bottom with the chest up and belly still tight! Drive through the heels and drive the knees out to stand completely.

If you have a tendency to collapse at the bottom, you may try using a counter balance. If you have pain or issue in the bottom from current or past injury or issue - you may choose to squat to a slightly higher target. Still focus on heels down, knees out, chest up!

For the last part you will choose from a jog/run, row, bike, taps, single unders (jump rope), or low step ups.

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

DB/AIR SQUATS - 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.

RUN/JOG - To 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. 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.

8 TRX/Ring Rows
4 DB/KB Hang Power Cleans
4 DB/KB Overhead Presses

Suggested Weight Range Men: 20-40# Single DB/KB - or - pair of lighter dumbbells
Suggested Weight Range Women: 12-30# Single DB/KB - or - pair of lighter dumbbells

Score: Total # of Completed Rounds + Any Additional Reps

Goal: 6+ Rounds

For this workout, you'll complete 8 rows, 4 hang power cleans, and 4 presses as many times as you can until 10 minutes are over!

For the TRX/ring rows, grab the handles or rings and lie back until your elbows lock out completely. Just remember that the more parallel your body is to the ground - the more difficult these become. You can step forward to make them more challenging or backward to make them more accessible. Keep the body rigid and belly tight - and pull all of the way to your chest at the top. Keep your elbows close to your sides and lock them all the way out at the bottom each time.

For the dumbbell hang power clean, you can hold a single dumbbell at your hips or hold a dumbbell in each hand at the sides. Do a small dip - jump and shrug the shoulders then pull the dumbbell(s) up to the shoulders. The idea here is to think about jumping and then pulling/guiding the dumbbell(s) to your shoulders. Try to not just do bicep curls!

For the overhead press you can use two DB on the shoulders or one DB/KB at the chest. Focus on keeping the rib cage down as you go to press up. Press the object until it's completely locked out overhead with the biceps in the ears! Then bring the dumbbells all the way down to the shoulders each time.

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

PULL UPS - For managing the pressure of the core and pelvic floor during Early Pregnancy or later on in the Rebuilding stages of PP sub: strict pull ups or banded pull ups. To avoid any coning in the belly during 2nd/3rd Trimester or Rehab stage of PP, while hanging from the bar sub: Ring Rows, Bent Over Rows, Banded Lat Pull Downs, Banded Woodchop, Banded Lat Pull Downs, DB/KB Front Raises. Kipping Pull Ups should only be added back into the later stages of Rebuilding in PP once the rehab is complete and athlete shows proficiency in strict movements.

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.

JERK/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.

Score: Total Time (including Rest)

Goal: 20 Min or Less

So the way this one works is you will complete 3 rounds of 1 minute of movement and 15 push up + taps. Once 3 rounds are done, you'll rest 1 minute then complete 3 rounds of 1 minute of movement and 15 overhead presses, rest 1 minute, then another 3 rounds of 1 minute of movement and 15 sit ups.

For the first part you will choose from a jog/run, bike, row, taps, single unders (jump rope), or low step ups.

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.

For the overhead presses, you can use two DB on the shoulders or one DB/KB at the chest. Focus on keeping the rib cage down as you go to press up. Press the object until it’s completely locked out overhead with the biceps by the ears! Then bring the dumbbells all the way down to the shoulders each time.

For the sit ups, you can do whatever you like with your feet, but we would love to see you come all of the way up at the top and touch your toes. If you need to add a little assistance like a stretchy band or rope attached to a pole to come all the way up - go for it!

No sit ups or crunching right now? You may try a dead bug, slam balls or an eye level KB Swing.

Idea Weight for Men: 35-55# DB/KB - OR - 20-30# DBs
Idea Weight for Women: 12-25# DB/KB - OR - 10-15# DBs

Score: Total # of Completed Rounds + Any Additional Reps

Goal: 6+ Rounds

For this workout, you'll perform 5 hang power cleans, 10 DB/KB jump overs, and 15 air squats until 14 minutes are up!

For the dumbbell hang power clean, try to challenge yourself with the weight you use since it's only 5 reps! For these, you hold the dumbbells at the hips. Do a small dip - jump and shrug the shoulders then pull the dumbbells up to the shoulders. The idea here is to think about jumping and then pulling/guiding the dumbbells to your shoulders. Try to not just do bicep curls!

For the DB/KB jump over you will stand facing the DB/KB and jump over it. Then you will turn around and jump back over the object. You can scale to a line if you are intimidated to go over something. You can also sub a little skip over.

If jumping or skipping is out of the question, you can perform a low, alternating step up.

Try to get these air squats done in a minute or less! You will have the feet shoulder width apart with the heels down. Lift the chest and tighten the belly. Reach the butt back and down as you drive the knees out. Ideally, you will get your butt lower than your knees at the bottom with the chest up and belly still tight! Drive through the heels and drive the knees out to stand completely.

If you have a tendency to collapse at the bottom, you may try using a counter balance. If you have pain or issue in the bottom from current or past injury or issue - you may choose to squat to a slightly higher target. Still focus on heels down, knees out, chest up!

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

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.

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.

BOX JUMP/JUMP/SKIP OVERS - This is going to be all about managing the impact and pressure to your core and pelvic floor. If you feel any heaviness or pain in the pelvic floor or surrounding areas (i.e. tailbone, lower back, pubic symphysis) or if you notice symptoms like leaking pee, please consider adapting your approach or modifying the movement. The SHIFT options for smaller Jump/Skip Overs are good for helping you achieve the stimulus with a little less impact. You can ALWAYS substitute Step Ups if you want zero impact or even KB Swings if you want to get a little more explosive with your hips. For pregnant mamas, please remember that if you are unsure if you can complete the movement because of balance, strength, or coordination it may not be worth the risk of potentially falling or busting up your shins! For mamas further along in their Postpartum you can try a lower height of box to practice that two foot take off and landing without the extra impact. Focus on your breath and posture throughout the movement and do less reps if that helps you concentrate on good technique and awareness in your body.

MAINTENANCE SUGGESTIONS FOR TODAY
PRE: WARM UP FLOW, THORACIC SPINE RELEASE
POST: HIPS 2.0/CHEST OPENER

SHIFT WARM UP
SHIFT WORKOUT

5 Rounds

1 Min Jog/Run, Bike, Row, Taps, Single Unders, or Low Step Ups
16 Eye Level KB Swings
8 TRX/Ring Rows

---

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

Score: Total Time

Goal: 13 Min or Less

The flow for this one is you'll start with 1 minute of movement, then move to 16 eye-level KB swings, then to 8 TRX/ring rows. That's one round. You'll repeat 4 more times for a total of 5 rounds.

For the first part you will choose from a jog/run, bike, row, taps, single unders (jump rope), or low step ups.

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. Pull the weight back through the legs. Stand up HARD and FAST to make the bell 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 TRX/Ring Rows, just remember that the more parallel your body is to the ground - the more difficult these become. Since it's only 8 at a time - challenge yourself! Make sure you start with straight arms at the bottom - keep the body rigid and belly tight - and pull all of the way to your chest at the top.

You may also do Bar in Rack Rows!

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

RUN/JOG - To 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. 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.

PULL UPS - For managing the pressure of the core and pelvic floor during Early Pregnancy or later on in the Rebuilding stages of PP sub: strict pull ups or banded pull ups. To avoid any coning in the belly during 2nd/3rd Trimester or Rehab stage of PP, while hanging from the bar sub: Ring Rows, Bent Over Rows, Banded Lat Pull Downs, Banded Woodchop, Banded Lat Pull Downs, DB/KB Front Raises. Kipping Pull Ups should only be added back into the later stages of Rebuilding in PP once the rehab is complete and athlete shows proficiency in strict movements.

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!

SHIFT WARM UP
SHIFT WORKOUT

5 Rounds

5 Burpees
10 Alternating Hang Dumbbell Snatch
10 Alternating Lunges

Idea weight for Men: Single 20-35# DB/KB
Idea weight for Women: Single 12-24# DB/KB

Score: Total Time

Goal: Under 15 Min

Kim's birthday workout is a doozy. This SHIFT workout is also a challenging one!

For the burpees you may do regular burpees, step in and out burpees, knee push up burpees, no push up burpees, or elevated burpees.

Make sure you choose a burpee style that allows you to finish reps in no longer than 1 min even when you are super tired!

If you are doing a version with a push up make sure the hands are lower than the shoulders and in somewhat close to your body. Don't allow the elbows to flare out. Keep the belly tight and work to avoid snaking or worming! Touch the chest all of the way at the bottom.

For the hang dumbbell snatch you will use a single dumbbell held in one hand at the waist. Dip slightly making sure the heels stay down and knees don't cave in. Keep arm straight with weight dipping between the legs. Stand up hard and fast, shrug, and then punch the dumbbell overhead - locking out with the bicep by the ear! Lower back to the waist and switch hands. For each set of 10 you will end up doing 5 per arm.

The lunges will be unweighted.

For the lunges you may do forward stepping, reverse stepping, or even walking lunges. Reverse are our favorite for balance and glute activation purposes - but it's up to you. Make sure you take a long enough step each time that your front heel stays down when your back knee touches. Don't allow the working knee to cave in. Stand completely between reps and alternate feet with each step. You may also choose to use a counter balance for support. For each set of 10 you end up doing 5 per leg.

If you are unable to lunge for injury issues - you may choose to sub alternating step ups or single leg toe taps.

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

DEVIL PRESS - If you feel a lot of pressure in your belly or pelvic floor in the plank position or hopping forward/back, you can step back/forward to a table top or low bear pose or skip the plank/push up. You can also use less weight. If you have to modify the movement too much you may want to sub KB Swings, Sled Push/Pull, Farmer Carry, Thrusters, Wall Balls or Ball Slams so that you can keep moving and keep the heart rate up!

LUNGESTERS - If you have any pubic symphysis pain or SPD focus on keeping your pelvis neutral and your hips level. You could always do lighter weight, smaller step/less range of motion, or step up or forward instead of step back in the lunge lunge. You can also try stepping laterally onto a stack of plates or something instead of stepping back or up, sometimes this helps create some control in managing the position of the pelvis. Option to sub: Thrusters, Weighted Step Ups, Weighted Lateral Step Ups, Lunge + Lunge + Air Squat, Goblet/DB Squat

BURPEES - Pay attention to any coning or doming you have in the plank position of the burpee or any sensation of pressure on your pelvic floor as you hop back or hop forward. Feel free to sub: No push up burpee, Elevated burpee, Step back/forward burpee, Air Squat + Elevated Push Up, Table Top (all fours position) + Air Squat, Ball Slams, KB Swings, Farmer/Goblet march, Glute Bridges, Sumo Deadlift High Pull

DB SNATCH/HANG SNATCH - You can always choose a lighter weight or go from the hang position. If you're not comfortable going over head right now or find that you are coning during the movement you might want to consider subbing Russian Kettlebell Swings

LUNGES - If you have any pubic symphysis pain or SPD focus on keeping your pelvis neutral and your hips level. You could always do lighter weight, smaller step/less range of motion, or step up or forward instead of step back in the lunge lunge. You can also try stepping laterally onto a stack of plates or something instead of stepping back or up, sometimes this helps create some control in managing the position of the pelvis. Feel free to sub a squat or goblet squat for the lunges.
