WARM UP
Full Body Simple Warm Up
Box Jump Warm Up

WORKOUT

4 Rounds
20 Burpees
20 Alternating Weighted Step Ups
20 Box Jumps

RX Men: 40# DBs / 22-24" Box
RX Women: 25# DBs / 18-20" Box

RX+: 5 Rounds

**Only allowed to do RX+ if you finish the first 4 rounds in under 15 min!!!  You have to earn it!

** You will only see Program A today - but you may also do step ups with a barbell on the back or the sandbag!!  See write up for weight suggestions.

Score: Total Time
Goal: Under 20 Min

You are aiming for sub 5-minute rounds on this one. Choose a version of the burpee and step up you can do at least 10 per minute.

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!

For these step ups you can hold the dumbbells at your waist or on your shoulders. Make sure you step up with your foot completely on the box.  Drive out of the heel for each rep and avoid the knee caving in.  Stand up all the way at the top of the box and make sure both feet are planted.

If you don't have something to step up onto, or if you are uncomfortable stepping up right now you can sub alternating lunges.   Each lunge counts as one rep.

Make sure you choose a weight and a height that you are comfortable stepping up AND down.

Since there is no Program B today, you can also do back rack barbell step ups. Just like with the DBs, keep your chest up and belly tight!

For the box jumps you will choose a box that is roughly 22-24in for men and 18-20in for women if you can! If that height is too much for you - go lower! Make sure when you jump and when you land that the knees do not cave in! Stand all of the way up on your box/bench. You may also sub step ups or lunges. Or, if you don't have something to jump ON - find something to jump OVER!

We would love to see you actually jump if possible!  Even if you are jumping on a few stacked bumper plates or over your laundry basket!

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

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 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

BOX JUMP/JUMP/SKIP OVERS - This is going to be all about managing the impact and pressure to your core and pelvic floor. 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.

Choose a load you can go unbroken for sure. Focus on solid movement no matter what.

You have two options if you choose to go RX+. EITHER you can do deadlifts using heavier DBs OR you can do single leg deadlifts with the 40s or 25s.

For the deadlifts the DBs will start on the ground.  Feet are under the hips.  Heels are down.  Hips and knees are bent.  Hands and grip are outside of the legs.  Arms are straight.  Chest is up.  Belly tight.  Back flat!  To lift the DBs 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.

For these burpees, start standing next to your dumbbells (not facing), bend your knees, hinge forward at the hips and plant your hands on the floor. Step or jump your feet back to a plank position. Lower knees, hips, and chest all the way down to the floor then press back up. Jump or step your feet in - then jump over the dumbbells. The rep is complete when you land on the other side.

Workout

800 Meter Run
then
3 Rounds
40 Alternating Step Ups (Unweighted)
20 Pull Ups
10 Turkish Get Ups (5 per side)
then
800 Meter Run

RX Men (for get ups): 35-55#
RX Women (for get ups): 20-35#

RX+ Men/Women: Take reps to 60 / 30 / 10 (only do this if you can do the pull ups in no more than 3-4 sets at that number)

Score: Total Time
Goal: Under 25 Min

Not including the runs, each round should take 5-6 minutes. Check out the other programs for more options!

For the 800m run, you're working with 4-5 minutes.  Shorten the distance as needed to fit the time window.

If unable to run due to space or weather purposes - do 2 min double/single unders or toe taps to a low target at the beginning of each round rather than the 800s at the beginning and end.

For the step ups, ideally the height is 18-20" for women and 22-24" for men. Pick a height that challenges you, but allows you to keep moving and that you feel comfortable stepping up AND down.

Alternate feet with each step (so a set of 40 will be 20 per side).  Put your whole foot on the step, keep your chest up, drive off of the heel and stand all of the way up!

For the pull ups you may do strict, kipping/butterfly or ring/trx row. Choose a version you can do all 20 in max 4 sets.

You may also do a row with the bar in the rack OR do a bent over row if none of those other options are available. You may do banded pull ups but control the descent and be sure to avoid the bounce out of the bottom.

Hitting every position in the Turkish get up is extremely important so take your time on these and go as light as you need to. Use a shoe if you need to!

Start on your back. Holding the weight in your right hand, extend your arm straight up in the air. Bend your right knee so your right foot is flat on the floor.

Bring your left arm out to the side about 45°. Keep your right arm vertical for the entire movement. Roll onto your left forearm, then up to your left hand. Sweep your left leg under and behind your right leg so some of your weight is on your left shin.

Raise your left hand off the floor and come up into a lunge position. Stand up all the way.

To complete the rep, retrace your steps back down until you are lying on your back.

For the shoot throughs you will need 2 objects you can support your bodyweight between that are the same height (chairs, boxes, parallettes, countertops). Try around 20" to start and go up or down depending on how you are feeling.

Start with your hands on the objects in a plank position.  To "shoot through" keep your arms straight and jump the knees to the chest.  Swing your body forward and then kick the legs straight out in front of you.  Raise the hips so that your body is in a straight line - then, jump the knees into your chest and shoot BACK through to a plank.

Forward and back = 1 rep.

If you are unable to do this - even at a higher target - you can sub v-ups or even regular crunches!

Suggested weight= Super Light for the Get Ups or Even No Weight at All.

Score: Total Time
Goal: Under 20 Min

**MAKE SURE TO WATCH THE DEMO VIDEO FOR THE TURKISH GET UPS!!For the 1 minute you will choose from single unders (jump rope), low step ups, taps, a jog/run, bike, or row.

For the  step ups you will choose a height that will challenge you, but that you feel comfortable  stepping up and down.  If possible this should be at
12-20" for women and
16-24" for men.

Make sure to put your WHOLE foot on the step each time.  Don't allow the knee to cave in and drive out of the heel to stand completely.  Lower under control and switch feet.  Each set of 20 you will do  10 per leg

If you are doing the TRX/Ring/Bar in Rack option - just remember that the more parallel your body is to the ground - the more difficult these become.  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.

Bent over rows will be 5 on each arm.

For the half Turkish get ups these are more of a strength/skill movement more  than anything.  Try and slow this movement down and focus on hitting the positions we list below.

You will lie on the floor with the weight in your right hand. Press it up to lockout (like the top of a bench press).  Your right knee will be bent with the foot on the floor.  Your left arm will be out to the side and straight.  KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE WEIGHT THROUGHOUT THE MOVEMENT.

Roll onto your left elbow pressing into the weight in your right hand.  Come onto your left hand.  PULL your left leg back and through to the knee behind you (keep pressing and looking at that weight!). Now you are in the bottom of a lunge.

On the way back down its reverse.    Place the left hand on the ground.  Sweep the left leg through to a sitting position.  Come down to the left elbow.  Roll back to a lying position. This is a challenging movements so feel free to ditch the weight and just focus on the positions.

If you are unable to come all the way up to the lunge position you can scale to just - elbow to hand like a half crunch.

Choose a load that you can perform at least 7-10 reps of the squats and push presses at a time. Break up the first set of squats and push presses early and often enough so that you don't fall apart on the lungesters.

These squats start with the bar on the back. The feet should be shoulder width apart. Heels down. Raise the chest and tighten the belly. Reach the butt back and down and drive the knees out. Get the butt lower than the knees at the bottom. No collapsing or rounding the back at the bottom! Drive through the heels, lead with the chest, keep the belly tight, and push the knees out as you come up! Stand all of the way up at the top.

Set up for the push press with the bar on your shoulders and elbows high. Feet hip to shoulder width apart. Chest up, belly tight. Keep your heels down, let your knees track forward as you dip your hip.  Chest stays lifted. Stand up fast.  As the bar pops up off the shoulders, press straight up to lock out.

Finish standing tall, arms straight, biceps by the ears.  Squeeze your butt and keep your belly tight.

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

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

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
Goal: Under 12 Min

For this workout you will do a Lungester sandwich! 30 squats, 20 press, 30 lung ester, then 20 press, and finishing with 30 air squats.

For the air squats 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 tend to really collapse in the bottom position-  try slowing down just a bit.  You may also try holding on to something like a pole or doorway to help you lift your chest and stay back in your heels.

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.

For the shoulder press you can use a KB, a single dumb bell, or two. Focus on keeping the rib cage down, bring the dumbbells all the way down to the shoulders each time and get them completely locked out overhead with the biceps in the ears!

For the unweighted Lungesters  you may perform the lunges portion as reverse stepping or forward stepping.  Make sure you take a long enough step that your front heel stays down when your back knee LIGHTLY touches the ground.  Don't allow the forward knee to cave in.  Keep the belly tight and chest up.  You will perform a lunge on each side.

THEN

Put the feet at shoulder width apart.  Heels down.   Reach the butt back and down.  Keep the heels down and drive the knees out.  Keep the chest up and belly tight. Get the butt lower than the knees at the bottom.  Then stand up up all the way.

If you are unable to lunge you can sub a alternating step up on each side + a body weight squat. Make sure to put your WHOLE foot on the step each time.   Lower under control and switch feet.  Then you will perform the body weight squat.

For the goblet position hold the weight at the chest/shoulders

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 Dumbbell/KB jump over you will stand facing  the  Dumbbell/KB and jump over it. 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 questions you can perform an eye level KB swing.

These two sections are a bit grueling so pick a pace and a load that you can just keep moving.

The carry should take you about 4 minutes and you should be able to complete at least 5 devil presses a minute.

A devil press is BASICALLY a burpee with dumbbells in your hands.  You do a push up with hands on the dumbbells, jump or step the feet in.  Pick the dumbbells up from between the feet with heels down and arms straight (keep the back flat!!).  Use the power from the legs and the hips to basically complete a combination KB Swing - clean and jerk - snatch.

The movement finishes with the elbows locked and biceps by the ears!  Control the lower and keep the back flat as you set up for the next rep!

For the Farmer Carries, you will hold a dumbbell in each hand.  Keep your chest up, shoulders back and belly tight.  Take rest rather than allowing yourself to fall into a bad position.

For 400m, it should take about 4 minutes.   If it's much slower or you are breaking a lot, go to a single dumbbell and switch hands at the halfway point.

If unable to carry due to weather, try 4 min of a low step up holding your dumbbells (putting down when needed).

Score: Total Time
Goal: Under 22 Min

These two sections are a bit grueling so pick a pace and a load that you can just keep moving.

The carry should take you about 4 minutes and you should be able to complete at least 8-10 plate burpees a minute.

The Plate Burpee starts standing with a plate on the floor in front of you. Hinge forward, bend your knees and plant your hands on the plate. Step or jump your feet back to a plank position and immediately lower knees and hips to the floor, chest to the plate. Press back up, step or jump your feet back in and stand up. As you stand you will take the plate with you and press it overhead.  Keep the plate close to your body on the way up and keep your belly tight!

For the plate bear hug carry, hold the plate to your chest while you walk/jog 400m. Keep your core engaged the whole time and take short breaks if you need to.

If unable to carry due to weather, try 4 min of a low step up holding your plate to your chest (putting down when needed).

These two sections are a bit grueling so pick a pace and a load that you can just keep moving.

The carry should take you about 4 minutes and you should be able to complete at least 5 sandbag burpees a minute.

For the Sandbag Burpee, the bag will start right in front of your feet.  Plant your hands on the bag a bit wider than shoulder width apart. Step or jump your feet back to a plank position and lower your chest to the bag, knees/thighs to the floor. Press back up to straight arms and step or jump your feet back in.

Grab hold of the overhand handles, bend your knees and lift your chest up. Keep the heels down.  With your back flat and belly tight, stand up with the sandbag by driving through the heels and lifting the chest.  Explode UP with the legs and hips.  Shrug the shoulders.  Pull the elbow high and outside.  Then PUNCH the sandbag to lock out finishing with the biceps by the ear!

For the sandbag bear hug carry, hold the bag to your chest while you travel 400m. Keep your core engaged the whole time and take short breaks if you need to.

If you choose front rack carries, the bag will be resting on your biceps while you keep your upper arms parallel to the ground. Super important to keep the belly tight with this one!

If unable to carry due to weather, try 4 min of a low step up either bear hugging your bag or keeping it in the front rack (putting down when needed).

Score: Total Reps Devil Press + Put Total Time in Comments
Goal: 120 Reps

These two sections are a bit grueling so pick a pace and a load that you can just keep moving.

The 400m carry should take you about 4 minutes (2 min for the 200m) and you should be able to complete at least 5 devil presses a minute.

Remember you and your partner are both working at the same time just on opposite movements.

A devil press is BASICALLY a burpee with dumbbells in your hands.  You do a push up with hands on the dumbbells, jump or step the feet in.  Pick the dumbbells up from between the feet with heels down and arms straight (keep the back flat!!).  Use the power from the legs and the hips to basically complete a combination KB Swing - clean and jerk - snatch.

The movement finishes with the elbows locked and biceps by the ears!  Control the lower and keep the back flat as you set up for the next rep!

For the Farmer Carries, you will hold a dumbbell in each hand.  Keep your chest up, shoulders back and belly tight.  Take rest rather than allowing yourself to fall into a bad position.

For 400m, it should take about 4 minutes. The 200m about 2 minutes. If it's much slower or you are breaking a lot, go to a single dumbbell and switch hands at the halfway point.

If unable to carry due to weather, try 4 min of a low step up holding your dumbbells (putting down when needed).

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!
